Analyst Argues Gears of War: E-Day Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled on PS5 After 'Soft' Steam Pre-Orders

Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliot has argued that Gears of War: E-Day shouldn't have been cancelled on PS5, citing "soft" Steam pre-orders. He said the game has amassed just 120k pre-orders on Steam, low for a big-budget AAA production, and noted the port was reportedly already in the works. He also stressed the game's online multiplayer focus requires a large crossplay audience.
