Hell yeah and well deserved!  Now time to make room for the big dog.  The biggest single platform launch of 2011!  I'm expecting a minimum of 7 million and possibly even 8 million or more.

 

it will be huge

 

but not the biggest launch if AGENT and ZELDA release this year plus 3DS and NGP exclusive games

Agent is an unknown game--even among people who've actually heard of it.  Zelda is a great series--possibly the greatest in all of gaming--but people don't camp out to buy Zelda games on day one.  The games always sell very well but they do so over the course of months/years.  I suspect Gears will probably sell a few MILLION in its first day.  It won't break any records like a Call of Duty or Halo but I think it will definitely be the biggest launch of the year.

zelda has camping or not,it has a big fanbase.

 

it will be a tough battle between them

 

as for AGENT,if you think ROCKSTAR NORTH next game won't do anything great then you gotta think gain.

just look at RED DEAD REDEMPTION,an unknown name but sold 7m

 

and as AGENT is SONY's next big exclusive and one of the few big ones this generation,they will market it to hell and hardcores will surely buy a ROCKSTAR product.

another thing

if AGENT turns out to be GTA ENgland then you surely know what will be the biggest launch

Red Dead Redemption is a sequel to Red Dead Revolver and it sold 7 million accross two consoles.

Of course, nothing is written in stone.  Maybe you're right.  Maybe you're wrong.  Who knows?  We'll just have to wait until later on in the year to see that I'm right and you're wrong.   :P
