The Big Boss: Resistance 2 sold about 1/4 of what Gears has sold in the week

In comparison to gears, pretty much everything will bomb. Does that mean every game coming out around the time of GeoW2 is a bomb?!

It is the life time sales that will indicate how well the game has done. With GeoW2, it will probably have most 360 owners go buy a copy close to its release (having had a big following since its original release and a sequal being anticipated since then) whilst the ps3 users will probably slowly generate decent sales over the next few months (had a smaller following since the original due to number of ps3 owners on release).

 

 That's not entirely accurate. Safe for the Nintendo published Wii games, everything drops in prices. Thus, one can say that probably just the 1st and 2nd shipments are sold to the retailer at full price. This means that they earn far more on the earlier sold games than on the later ones.
