Gears of War sells 2 million

ABF, please read the entire post before you start to reply. I answered your question before you even asked it.

Think of the difference between the original Jak & Daxter and Jak 2. When Naughty Dog made Jak grow up a bit, but still retain the cartoon like style and clever humor (for both kids and adults), they sold more games. It went from E rated to T rated, and appealed to far more people. The game still had laugh out loud moments with Daxter, but also had some rather adult moments as well.

Gamers have grown up, and the 360 platform is NOT a Nintendo platform. Microsoft owns them and they aren't going anywhere. Rare would do well to realize who all their audience consists of. Seeing as how Nintendo likely has the "kiddy" market under lock and key, Rare should shift focus even if slightly so they can hope to lure some of the massive Halo and Gears crowd to try something different...but not too radically different as Rare has been trying to do.
