Is this shipped or sold 5 million? If it's shipped then yes AC probably has got to 5 million and AC2 probably will. But the official VGC sold figure for AC1 is 4.92 million and given AC1 is no longer on the top 200 chart it's pretty unlikely to make up that 80K gap, it still could though.
Similarly I think it's pretty ambitious to call it for AC2 with it sitting on 4.11 million. At the rate it's selling right now it'll need to keep up that average for about another 61 weeks to get to 5 million. That's a pretty tall order at this stage in the generation.
Having said that getting 2 x 4million on a single platform is bloody marvelous, and getting 8 million across PS360 is fantastic. Is it the best selling multiplat new IP this generation?
Gears of War is the best selling new exclusive HD IP this gen is it not?

I would say yes to both your last 2, unless you agree with IW that their latest games were Modern Warfare games not CoD games... Gearses have no sold about 12m, so nothing is close to them in terms of exclusives, the only other high selling new exclusive HD franchise I can think of is Uncharted and that has only sold 7m. By comparison the Assassin's Creed franchise has sold 17.5m. That is a seriously impressive number

Do you think Gears will ever break out of that 6 mill bracket?
|
What is Gears of War selling on a weekly basis these days?
|
2nd is doing 10k, about 12 weeks from 6 mill, 1st 2k a week, just crossed 6 mil.
|
Well, with the way things are now, then the first 2 won't hit 7 million. Not by a long shot. Now the 3rd game, well, as Barozi stated, if Epic can get their multiplayer working fine right off the bat, then I think sales should hold out strong. Possibly 6.5 million, if not 7 million.

That's wishful thinking and implying that it's working fine right now. 
I like Gears of War 2 multiplayer and play almost every night, but I am willing to admit that a lot of what goes on in that game is an absolute joke. I need to make a thread about this, but a majority of the time I'm either laughing my head off after somebody gets blown into pieces by someone else's shotgun, or I'm about to chuck my controller out a window because all everyone wants to do is two piece.
