While the Gears of War series has been a massive success on the Xbox 360, is it time for Microsoft to make the decision that the 3rd game in the trilogy will NOT be released on the Xbox 360, but on the next Xbox?

    It would be strange if they used all their major exclusives as launch titles.

    Halo 4, Gears 3, Fable 4 etc.

    They could use Gears of War 3 as a launch title to give the Xbox 720 a big advantage over the other consoles released at the time. Considering how unpolished Gears of War 2 felt, I think they should definitely take their time with Gears 3 .

    I think so. Why throw all three games onto the same platform when you can end the trilogy with a technological bang? Look at God of War 3: it's debuting on the PS3 to finish the series, instead of just cranking it out onto the PS2. I think finishing a series on the next console is a good way to really draw attention to it and give it a real 'final' feel.

    I wish they would perfect the hardware on the first console before they slop something together and shove it on the unsuspecting populace. OR just stick to software, and let others make the hardware.

    They could always go the R&C route and put the trilogy on the 360, then have some other storyline for the next console. That way those loving the game can play the whole trilogy without needing to buy the next console to finish it, while still giving them the game if they DO buy the next console.

    But who am I kidding, they'll wait if they can get more money to sell their next console

      I think you probably hit the nail on the head. Xbox360 will have the first 3 Gears games, then the next console will get the new storyline, which may even be a prequel to the first 3 games.

      The R&C route would be a good one to follow.

        I can bet they'll get even more people to follow the series if they did go that route.

    The next console is probably too far away for them to wait.

    I reckon it would be good to bring it out on the next box, to raise the profile, but hwy would people want to pay for a new xbox, when there is:

    xbox 360 - Arcade
    Xbox 360 - Premium
    xbox elite

    All of them are the same. Just The ELITE has a bigger hard drive and The ARCADE you cant play online.
    What will the new box have different to the ELITE And 360 ??

    And i reckon gow3 should come out on the xbox 360

      The article means the actual next console not a new SKU.
