Just added precentages to show how ridiculous the difference is right now. I bet by summer, the difference will shrink a bit, but even if Gears 3 only matches Reaches pre-orders, damn! Reach sold over 4 million week 1, Gears 2 sold just under 2 million. If Gears 3 opens to 4 million, it's very likely the game break 10 million total.

I don't think Gears 3 will add as much for the last couple of weeks though...Halo Reach had a slow start for pre-orders but by the time it got near the release it was adding 100, 200, and 300k weeks.

Perhaps some people still think it's coming in April lol

Lol those people are in for a unpleasant surprise!


why dont you just pre-populate this with all of the haloReach data now... would be interesting to see.

didn't think about that! Ok i'll update my original post in a bit.

There is no way in hell this will hit 4 million! I say around 2.5 million. Gears 2 was 1.8 mliion this ain't gonna jump 2.2 million! No matter what the preorders are. I say 2.5 million fw. 7.5 million LT. 

I think you're prediction is spot on.  If someone truly thinks its going to reach 10 mil when both the first and second games are at 6.13 and 6.18 mil, respectively, they are kidding themselves.  However, it should pull off 7-7.5 mil, easily.


i'm not aware of anyone saying anything remotely like that.

7 to 8 million is pretty much certain.... which is huge!

Updated the list to include every week of Halo Reach. Whats really interesting is Gears 3 is 11 weeks ahead of Halo Reach. Now I know that will drop big time by the time we get to the remaining 10 weeks but thats still impressive.

Point?  He still thinks there could be a chance.  I highly doubt it, though.  Not given the previous games sales.

There's a chance of anything in gameing.  Hell there's a CHANCE Uncharted 3 will hit 10 million.  Do I think it will?  No but that doesn't descredit theres a chance it could happen.

And we are talking about a franchise in Gears of War that has already been proven to have mega franchise potential.  I don't think it will hit 10 million units sold, more like somewhere between 7 - 8 million units.  But I do think there's about a roughly 10% chance it could crack that 10 million sold barrier, especially with very little competition this year in terms of exclusive games to go against and the COD franchsie finally shrinking.  I don't really see this years COD doing MW2 or Black Ops numbers.  Not to mention the Beta is going to cause huge buzz for the game.
