For me those gears 3 numbers are great, specially when you look at the competition.

My point was, that there were predictions made in this site by a huge amount of people that this game would take a huge step forward when it comes to sales just because it sold +1M FW then gears 2 (and pre-order numbers), and I will not even mention actual numbers posted, because I know if the person was me, I would be embarrassed.

Uncharted 2 (I am not mentioning this game to troll, or to make a point in comparing game quality), sold 46k, in his 5th week in NA, that ended in 14th of November of 2009, when the PS3 was selling 126k a week.

Once again, if you think that selling 46k, when your console dominates the region (with almost 34M consoles sold and selling 150k units), in your 6th week, is a great number (for a game that supposedly will sell over 9000M), then go ahead, I am talking about those numbers because those are real numbers, I am sorry if I don´t guess the HUGEEEEEE numbers gears 3 will put up in November/December.

And look, I am also prepared to see people say that Uncharted 3 will sell 10M because it had a 100% increase first week, so my point is not about the game itself, it´s about the hype, and people getting carried away by FW numbers, and not contextualizing numbers. Gears 3 had a 1M increase over gears 2, because, it was a great game, but most importantly, it was the first BIG game, and 360 gamers were impatiently waiting for a quality game.

Of course these Gears 3 numbers will be even more impressive when you consider the competition it had, but still, those predictions, and the huge bandwagon this game had when predicting sales numbers was uncalled for and the only reason for it will be the fact that sales are not made in a vacuum, there is competition, timing, price, etc, etc..

off-topic ended

lol ur funny dude. You use WAY TOO MANY commas its really really hard to read your comments.



Battlefield 3 opening numbers on 360 and PS3 lower than MW3 pre-orders :D
So much for COD "rotting from the core"



Oh yeah, what is the reason for Madden Wii being above the PS3 version?



Crazily good week!
Gratz to all for HW and SW!
Special gratz to XB360 for first place, to XB360 and PS3 for HW boost, to XB360, PC and 3DS for SW boost!

BF3 is a beast, even the partially tracked PC version leaves behind everything else!

Kinect gets a big boost in America and overkills both Move and Balance Board, out of the Top50, but it's still far behind its results last year.

Battlefield will sell for a long time as more FPS fans check it out.

However, I do not think Battlefield will become a leggy monster and get crazy sales. The reason is the recent COD games have very strong sales for months as well.



Legs of Gears 3 are quite poor. Wonder if things will pick up over the holidays are will people be more focused on later releases (MW3, BF3, Halo CEA, ACR).

That is the problem with releasing a big game in q3. Sales are going to be massive at first because of a clear release window, but then sales go to a crawling halt over the holidays.

last time i heard about this is Halo:Reach

never change



well Halo Reach legs are really good for an XBOX game and have been much better than Gears of War.

I think Halo brand is more mainstream so the game would be bought by mainstream gamers latter on.

I do not think the same will happen for Gears of War 3 especially with Battlefield and MW3 coming out.
