Hang on, HOW MUCH for Gears 3???

@Xen- I think it'll be closer between those two than I'd like and most other people would like...

I don't see a problem with my Gears predition really.

Gears 2 opened up to 1.9 Million units in 2008, when there were 21 Million 360's on the market. We've had nothing Gears since then on any platform. So I'm guessing the increase in userbase as well as whoever tried the game out 2nd hand will increase potential userbase for Gears 3.

That would be true if it wasn't for the fact that the majority of sequels suffer either lower or very similar FW sales to their predeccesors...

Those sales are nothing to be sniffed at, but with no confirmed release date (Could launch in summer drought, on same day as Skyrim and COD, same day as SS etc.), it's unfair to make an accurate prediction. But pre-orders, well, they're certainly impressive for a game with no release date!
