Gears of War 3 is no way the biggest game 2011. Hell, I doubt it will even be in the top 5.

Since everybody is already calling Wii and PS3 games, I'll list PC exclusives that are going to beat Gears 3:

  • Diablo III
  • Guild Wars 2
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic
  • StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

    • Other PC exclusives that coud beat GoW3:

  • Might and Magic: Heroes VI
  • Shogun 2: Total War
  • Neverwinter
  • Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online

    We are talkng about sales here, only game on that list that could beat Gears in sales is Diablo III (Star Craft is 2012). The Old Republic probably could if you gave it some time, but it wont in 2011 thats for sure. Funny part is that the only games that has the potential to be better is also Diablo III and The Old Republic imo. Also Starcraft (which again wont be out before 2012)

    Also GoW is and always will be God of War please don't call Gears GoW.

    First, I don't see the point in only counting sales made in 2011, and not throughout the lifetime of the games that are released in 2011. If so, then why not count the sales of Starcraft 2 and WoW: Cataclysm, and other games released in 2010, that will easily sell millions in 2011?

    Second, Diablo 3's sales will be in a whole other level than Gears 3. Diablo 2 should have over 10 millions sold by now, and Diablo 3 will sell at least 15 millions.

    And why ignore Guild Wars 2?! The first Guild Wars sold over 6.5 millions, more than both Gears of War 1 and 2. And GW2 has A LOT of hype around it.

    As for The Old Republic, if it becomes a great game, it will easily make more money than Gears of War 3. Star Wars Bioware PC-Centric F2P = Filthy Money.

    I don't even understand what you are trying to pull here... I said that Diablo III would sell more did i not? I also said The Old Republic could sell more did i not? But i don't think it will do in 2011. Guild Wars is a free MMORPG, so i guess you are right it could sell more, but i doubt it, not in 2011 anyway.

    I don't see how the fact that you think Diablo III will sell 15 million is releveant? But since you started it... I don't think so.  My guess 9-10 million lifetime sales.
