Agent is an unknown game--even among people who've actually heard of it.  Zelda is a great series--possibly the greatest in all of gaming--but people don't camp out to buy Zelda games on day one.  The games always sell very well but they do so over the course of months/years.  I suspect Gears will probably sell a few MILLION in its first day.  It won't break any records like a Call of Duty or Halo but I think it will definitely be the biggest launch of the year.

zelda has camping or not,it has a big fanbase.

it will be a tough battle between them

as for AGENT,if you think ROCKSTAR NORTH next game won't do anything great then you gotta think gain.

just look at RED DEAD REDEMPTION,an unknown name but sold 7m

and as AGENT is SONY's next big exclusive and one of the few big ones this generation,they will market it to hell and hardcores will surely buy a ROCKSTAR product.

another thing

if AGENT turns out to be GTA ENgland then you surely know what will be the biggest launch

I dunno if Zelda could ever affect Gears sales, they are different genres on different consoles, and probably have different sets of fans with small overlaps.

As for Agent, well it is an unknown game, and even though Red Dead Redemption sold so well, Black Ops is the best selling CoD title, and Halo Reach is comparable to Halo 3. I also really doubt a 2011 release with L.A. Noire coming out in May.

Red Dead Redemption is a sequel to Red Dead Revolver and it sold 7 million accross two consoles.

Of course, nothing is written in stone.  Maybe you're right.  Maybe you're wrong.  Who knows?  We'll just have to wait until later on in the year to see that I'm right and you're wrong.   :P

i wasn't saying that ZELDA will take or harm GEARS sales,just that its fanbase even being different can get the game that high

where did BLACK OPS,LA NOIRE,HALO REACH and HALO 3 comparision come from?

Someone said Agent will affect Gears 3 sales, and I was just pointing out that Red Dead didn't affect Halo, or CoD sales.

It's also completly fine if Zelda sells 8 million the same year as Gears, they probably won't budge each other at all. Just Dance 2 sold 5 million last fall, DKCR, and Wii Party also got 4 million each. It's just a different market

i didn't say AGENT would effect or that RED DEAD effected HALO or COD sales so why even bring it up

where did you get the rest from,i did never talk about jsut dance or DKCR or Wii party

mate,be on topic don't bring offtopic stuff into the discussion

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.

Gears 3 has many things going for it to be the best selling game in the series. So long as they include host-migration, smooth out the glitchyness of multiplayer, have a good campaign and some new online modes (Horde seems to have been revolutionary as now every game compies it), I can see this game breaking 7 million lifetime.

I really hope this game does well as Gears is my favorite shooter this gen, and I would really love some host migration.
