a game like gears of war will always sell the most on its 1st week, after that it wont sell much. i dont know why people are expecting this to reach halo 3 like numbers. it should make it to 5 million easily but not 8 million. it just isnt going to sell another 6 million.

 

Halo numbers span up to 8 Million. Gears 2 is expected to sell 5-6 Million units. Gears 2 will most likely reach 6 million somewhere near february/march. It might reach 7 M by may so who knows?

 

yep, it should max out at about 5 million, which is excellent but these days people call that a flop. there aint many games out there that sell 5 million on one platform.

I wont max out at 5 million. A million more than that an i'll max out.

 

 

i think it will max out at 5 million, like the first one.

Hmm....I think the game has a solid chance of selling more than the first one.

You think it won't?

I hope you have a greater reasoning than "only people who bought the first one will buy Gears 2."

That is ignorant logic. It fails to factor in anything, like hype, increased userbase, game rentals, and resells, pacing, and...well, it's just an ignorant assumption.

Saying that only people who bought the predecessor of any game, would buy said game...is ignorant.

It becomes abundantly clear, when you state it like that.
