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

Then you proceded to talk about how Agent could be a massive game, and compared it to Red Dead Redemption.

I was only pointing out that Agent and Zelda probably won't affect Gears 3 sales, Modern Warfare 3 might though.

i didn't mean that they would affect GEARS sales but that those games have a big enough fanbase itself and the genre is that big that they can get sales even without effecting other game's sales or getting effected by other games releasing around them

Oh, so you were saying that Agent and Zelda could have bigger launches, but Gears 3 launch will be unaffected? I don't think Agent will be bigger then Gears, at least not as an exclusive. It would have to sell as well as GTA to outsell Gears.

ZELDA is a nintendo game and has a totally different fanbase and AGENT is a PS3 game which has its own different base.all three games are from different genres and the systems have different fanbases so it won't effect.

the only effect that would be seen would be from AGENT to anything.Gears won't effect as there have already been 2 gears games this generation so people who didn't buy gears first mostly won't buy it this time.Zelda AND NINTENDO fanbase it totally different so nothing there.as for AGENT,a new ip and a rockstar game and few big exlcusives that sony will try to take in more people to play it.

how can't AGENT be bigger than gears,gears 1 and 2 only did 6m after such a long time on market.

o'm not saying that it will definetly be bigger than gears.

i was just pointing out to the past SONY exclusives and Rockstar games sales.

Well first of all, Gears 1 and 2 sold 6 million, and a lot of people believe both could have sold better if they had been polished more. Gears 1 multiplayer was added very late into development and almost not included, and thus it was pretty glitchy, and Gears 2 had substantial multiplayer issues. Gears of War 3 has a 3 year development time instead of 2 years, so it may be the polishs Gears fans have always wanted.

So Gears 3 should sell at least 6 million, probably more.

Thats a lot! GTA IV only sold 8.37 million and 7.15 million copes on the 360 and PS3 respectively. Agent is exclusive, but GTA is what the Rockstar Empire is based on. Agent will not be as big as GTA, not even close, simple as that. Red Dead Redemption was a huge commercial success and combined it only sold 7 million. As a single console exclusive, even if it's as successful as Red Dead, I just can't see it selling more then 4 million units.

Not all of Rockstars games are massive sellers you know? L.A. Noire probably won't sell much more then 1 million on the 360 or PS3. Max Payne on the PS2 only just broke 3 million, and I think thats going to be bigger then Agent, only 1 Midnight Club title broke 2 million, Bully only just broke 1 million on the 360, and Red Dead Revolver only sold 500k.

Sorry bud, but I don't know why your putting Agent so high up as a software seller. Uncharted 3 is probably going to be PS3's best seller of 2011, and realistically, even though this might be the best selling Uncharted, it's going to fall short of Gears of War sales.
