I want to expand upon this.

I know Gears 3 weekly pre-orders will probably drop a bit next week, and then get significantly cut three weeks after that when the beta is over, but it could hold similar weekly pre-orders to Halo: Reach. Weather it does or not, this will be Gears of War's biggest opening week, and it will likely open to 3 million sales or greater. Gears 2 opened to 1.9 million, and looks like it will sell close to 7 million lifetime. Does this mean Gears 3 will be 360's next exclusive 10 million seller? I hope so, it deserves it.

BTW Gears 3 at 28 weeks had 4.5x as many pre-orders as Uncharted 3 at 28 weeks, and weekly increases were over 6x as great. I wonder how well UC3 will open compared to Gears 3.


Okay well in EMEAA Uncharted 3 will win no doubt as for Gears 3 I think there is something really wrong with these preoders. Of course it's gonna be big but VGC overtracked Gears 2 as well (2.1 million day 1) And Gears 3 is the only AAA exclusive out this year. I doubt this will open as much as Halo Reach I know that's impossible. 10 million LT is just going way to far. You expect this game to sell as much as Reach and GT5! Fix your prediction
