I don't see any game next year outselling it. Mabye Pokemon Black/White will beat it. But those games are combined...You'd have to split the sales for that.

With smooth online, better graphics, beast mode, horde 2.0, and being the ending game of the series, I belive Gears 3 can sell 7 million by the end of 2011.

Let's think about other games that could outsell it:

killzone 3- no

little big planet 2- no

modern warfare 3- mabye but idt it will sell nearly as good as mw2

wii sports resort- maye but i wont count it as it comes free with the controller

discuss! im glad my favorite series will dominate next year! :))))


Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

 

I don't think Gears 3 will even sell as well as the first 2 games. Gears 2 left a VERY NASTY taste in most people's mouths. Many of those hardcore Gears 1 fans that hyped the 2nd game up because they loved the first game are not really there anymore.

Gears 1 MP was very flawed, but also very fun and intense. Gears 2 MP at launch was a disgrace. Terrible MatchMaking times, random host selection that lead to some of the worst lag EVER, and it was very glitchy. This game had so many bugs, they had to call an Exterminator.

It took these assholes 6 Title Updates and over a year and a half (yeah that's right) to get it running somewhat decently. I'm not going through that shit again, and I don't know many people that are.

Even if Gears 3 is awesome, Gears 2 was so bad that it might have ruined any chance of growth for the franchise.

I agree with this post above. I was one of those people who loved gears of war 1. I was very excited with gears of war 2 and everything went downhill when it released. The cover system became worse the lag was terrible, and more. Gears 2 left a very bad taste in my mouth that im not even very excited for gears 3. I will not even preorder the game until the reviews com in and people had a 1st hand experience of how smooth the game runs. Anyways im gonna say it will sell 4 million in 2011 but thats only if the game has the same problems. If it turns out getting a 9.5 and above from every reviewer ill say 6 million.

 

Oh btw gears 2 was the first gears game bought by many of my friends and it left a very bad taste in their mouths too.
