File this under " D" for highly dubious, but a couple of Italian gaming sites are claiming that Gears of War is being held back in Europe until December 7, in order to " counter" the launch of the Wii. There might also be some stuff in there about localisation issues affecting the game' s European release, but Babelfish isn' t always the trustiest steed.

Why Microsoft would do this is beyond me. Which is why I call BS. Then again, you can never discount murmurs of European delays, as there' s quite a precedent for it, I hear

sorry for the heart attacks, i doubt its going to happen, and ill kill everyone at MS if it does, and at EPIC

As MS has stated time and time again they are not trying to compete with Nintendo this Generation, Nintendo is doing a whole other thing...this is extremely doubtful just from that first sentence

yeah it would be bad for buisness for MS to wait!

Well their 6 million pound/euro/whatever ad campaign says the 17th. In fact, i can see a Gears ad right now on this page and it says the 17th.

It could be delayed. These things do happen. If it does though i' ll be pissed at Microsoft because they have no reason to delay Gears so that it can launch against Wii.

In fact, most Wii' s will be pre-sold (Play.com can' t fulfill their pre-orders already) and so delaying Gears would have very little effect at all. I seriously doubt it' s true.

hell, even the ' emergence day' ad for it shows the 17th

Sounds like bullshit to me...

It' s delayed? Wait, it' s delayed according to stupid italians???

I mean.... who listens to italians?? It' s absurd...

Gears better come out on the 17th, I conveniently have the day off for it.

If it doesn' t come out, I swear, I' ll turn Double Agent dirty.

Just so people know,the one country who basically never bought xbox or xbox360 has been Italy,GC/ps2 has sold very good there but not xbox/ or the 360.

So yes this could be true,or only for Italy to counter the wii.
I would have laughed at this rumor if its wasnt mention Italy and to counter the wii.

If they do all that to counter the Wii, they need to get shot! Stupid, stupid, stupid! All these Microtards ever talk about is Wii60! I doubt this will happen, but if it do, Mcrosoft ain' t better than Sony. On X06 in Barcelona ( I think) they claimed that the game would release World Wide and Microsoft won' t mess this up like Sony did.

Who are " they" ???

SONY staff.

Sony, Microsoft they ALL DO!

But it was Mark Rein who said it wasn' t true. That probably means it isn' t true and that the release date is the 17th, just like was originally planned.

The same did Sony when they told the delay rumors were untrue... But I guess, Sony will be Sony.

I think i' ll believe Epic over some nubtard Italian sites thankyouverymuch!
