Nah. The first 2 sold almost exactly the same amount and this one is doing nothing new. And it's not like this is Halo or God of War. Nobody cares about the story or characters so the trilogy effect will be minimal.

bullshit much i care about. I enjoyed the gears 2 campaign alot and would buy gears 3 just for it.

Some people are under impression that their opinion is the general consensus.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

very, very unlikley I think.

LTD Gears 3, if its the best yet, could get past 7 million and if it performed amazingly to 8 million so 10 million seems miles away IMHO.

Mind you, so far 2011 does look weak for exclusive titles like Gears, so who knows. But on the other hand there are plenty of big multi-platform titles for it to compete with for sales.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I honestly thought toastboy had created this thread before I entered the thread. Not trying to offend toastboy or you but it seemed more like a thread he'd create.

I'm not going to say it's impossible but I am going to say it's unlikely. I believe the online will be the determining factor.

Man, I was thinking the exact same thing.

OT: Very unlikely. At least, not for a VERY long time.

If the online is polished out and gains good word of mouth, that can help it.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

IMO it has a vague shot at 8 million. But 7 million LT would be my bet. CoD is eating up everyones playtime on XBL, and this year if MW3 releases it will be the same.
