Jeff Morris likes idea of Gears of War sequel

Epic Games producer”>Jeff Morris, producer for Epic Games, knows his math. That’s why he expressed delight at the idea of Epic Games making a sequel for the top-selling Gears of War.

He said that he read somewhere that every sequel sells 10% less or more than the previous title. “Yeah we’d love to sell another 3 million copies of another Gears product.” We agree. If you do the math, 90% of 3 million copies sold is still 2.7 million copies, and that still means big money.

Too bad the guy to the right of Marcus and Dom didn’t sign on for the sequel.

Then again, if popular opinion is correct, Epic Games has been hard at work on the sequel ever since they saw that Gears of War was on its way to being a runaway hit.

If they do make a sequel, they might be stuck making sequels for a long time. But that’s only as long as we, the gaming public, continue to support (i.e., continue to buy) those sequels. “If people want another one,” Morris said, “I’m sure there’ll be another one but there are certainly no announcements.”
