The 360 version is only a million behind it, and CoD4 did better than Gears1 on 360. WaW 360 is currently doing better than CoD4 360 at respective points in time. Out of interest, I also looked up the sales of a few other titles on the PS3 that had slow launches but went on to do quite well: Ratchet and Clank - 130,000 first week (less than R2), 1.43 million lifetime. FPSs tend to do better than these games, as they appeal to a greater audience, also the online component will attract new players for a while, and DLC could attract new players and bring in extra revenue for it (needless to say, it won't be a financial loss). R2 did 270,000 first week without Others, CoD4 did 445,000 including others first week (~265,000 without others) |
CoD4 was easily the best shooter last year, that's where those sales came from. CoD:WAW won't have those amazing lags. I think it will not reach 6 million units on 360. Gears 2 maybe has a chance.
