zgamer5 on 22 April 2011

ofcourse its going to be the first 360 exclusive coming out this year, its going to be huge. and gears is already a big franchise so that helps.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Since it is the only big 360 exclusive everyones going to want it and it is a gears game after all so even more people will want it

Of course, it's the biggest 360 exclusive of the year, and the 360 is currently the most popular console there (just like in the US). So it isn't surprising.



2012 - Top 3 [so far]

                                                                             #1                                       #2                                      #3

Welll the beta will mean loads of early pre-orders, but it will be huge! Because it will be amazing

I hope it is...  that would be a fitting tribute to a superb series.

I agree, though I think the game more in need of blockbuster sales is Mass Effect, great game, but probably only selling about 3.5m across 3 platforms

But I would be very happy if it was something like Gears which was selling CoD numbers

Is this Worldwide, or in the UK?

Please be WW.

If you're talking WW...then I'm at a loss for words...(in a good way, of course)



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I cant see that happening.

Well the preorders are big in the U.K but not as big as Uncharted 3.

It looks like UC3 will outsell Gears 3 in EMMEA.

But we all will know who wins in the U.S

Do you really think its possible to have that big of a launch increase from what Gears 2 had?
