Gears of War to break records?

Will beat reach 29 39.73%
 
Will beat COD 7 9.59%
 
None of the above. 36 49.32%
 
Total:72

I predict that Gears of War 3's first week sales (worldwide) will be in the 2.5 - 3 million range.

I just hope Gears3 beats that boring FPS Modern Warfare game that I refuse to  acknowledge in sales for 360!!!

modern warfare is way better then black ops and theres no chance of that



According to this austrian newspaper (Tiroler Tageszeitung):

1 Million pre-orders for GOW 3

They say, they got a press release from Epic an MS which confirms this.

A member of the webshop "Gameshop" says that they have great pre-order-numbers, only a few games had ever reached this.



I think VG Chartz users are overestimating the Week 1 sales similar to the users expectations for Killzone 3. Although the userbase has grown most new casuals will not pick this up right away. I anticipate a 2.4M opening week WW.

2.4 million ww sounds right to me as well.

 

Edit: i was looking at gears 2 fw ww it had 1.9 million. i think because of the beta and this being the last game in the series it could do as high as 3 million fw. No more than 7.5 million lifetime though.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

So MS came out and said 1 million pre-ordered world wide. Thats a lot of copies. We will see what the drop is in the next pre-order update.



Around 2.5-3 million, most probably.

ioi did say something though in regards to the pre-orders, but I forgot what it was. If someone can remind what it was, I'd appreciate it.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

For those saying Gears 3 being the only big 360 exlcusive in 2011.

Forza 4 ?

Not even trying to mention a Halo announcement at E3 which will probably put almost everything to shame.



I'm going to say that it will beat halo but not cod. First week sales I think will hit over 3 million.
