Nope, similar numbers to Gears 2 I reckon and that Gears console looks great, but too late for me as I just got myself a 360 S and it is really expensive in the UK, as it is not receiving the same discounts as the standard versions of the console

so effectively gears 3 will sell worse than gears 2?  seeing as how gears 3 will have much longer to achieve the gears 2 level of sales.

Gears 3 - Sept 20th

Gears 2 - Nov 7th

odd prediction... the same sales for G3 with an extra 6 or 7 weeks of availability before year end?

Similar, probably a little better, I forgot that Gears released in November last time, but I don't really expect the 3rd game to pick up many new fans. The 2nd game was so good, I don't really see what the 3rd will do to convince those who didn't want 2

Gears 2 did get a fair amount of bad word of mouth at launch though, due to the jacked-up match-making and lag in multiplayer.

I think the combination of the beta, and positive word of mouth, along with the quality of the offering (Solo, Campaing co-op, Beast, Horde 2.0 and Multiplayer) suggests that Gears 3 would outperform Gears 2.

Now as far as 6 million in 3+ months?  I think it will be very close to that, if not slightly over by year end.
