Final Call for Predictions: The Last Remnant and Gears 2 O/W

[Skeeuk]

The Last Remnant:

• Opening Week: 110k JP, 60k NA, 40k EU
• Life to Date: 200k JP, 140k NA, 90k EU
• Hardware sales in Japan: 40k on opening week (with bundles)

Gears of War 2:

• Opening Week: 1.8m NA, 700k EU (2.5m w/w)
• Life to Date: 5.5m NA, 2.3m EU (7.8m w/w)

i mostly agree with ur numbers apart from last remnant, i do not belive last remnant will be anything stella aprt from japan where even infinite undiscovery did well. i have put hardware in japan for last remnant at 10k higher than your prediction

i certainly do take my hat off to microsoft they have gotten 3 rpg out in japan in a spate of a few months, tales of vesp - infinite - and now last remnant, and going into 2009 they will have star ocean so i congraats them for that, even though last remnant is out on ps3 later in 2009 i do not feel it will sell as well.

if it wasnt for exclusive white knight and exclusive ff13 in japan, i would have imagined 360 to overtake ps3 in japan.

but having said that even with these releases i would imagine 360 to close the gap
