Gears is on the verge of getting the most pre-orders ever.

Nah it still needs 1.5 million more to take the record.

For a game coming in November, these numbers are unheard of.

No Uncharted 3 :(. Gears is still going tank. And hopefuly Infamous 2 preorders rise when the big marketing starts. Battlefeild 3 seems really good to me but I know Mass effect 3 isn't going to sell that well. Mass Effect 2 had bad response from people. I couldn't play more than 20 min. Absloute crap!

Joke post? 

Cause the bolded is absurd.


Really what casued ME 2 to have a great launch and only sell around 2.3 million with not so great legs. I don't expect ME3 tog et Uncharted 3 and BBC3 sales. And how is Gears not selling well?

Ok self admitedly what I read from the first bolded was "Gears is still going to tank." but now that I read it again it makes much more sense lol.

As for ME2 it had great reviews and everyone I know who played it IRL thinks its one of the best games they've ever played. So it didn't get a bad response...it just for some reason didn't sell as much as I would have liked it. But the 2.3 million it sold so far is definitely not shabby at all....it should hit 2.5-2.6 million LT better marketing would have made it sold closer to 3 million IMO.


Oh well people I heard from didn't like ME2 at all. But with good advertising 3.5 million is possible for ME3.

nice numbers for Infamous 2, I think Sony needs to start advertising including the U3 beta sothey can skyrocket...speaking of Uncharted 3...:( it's out of the list....I blame LEGO pirates...>:(

I'll give you that but I highly doubt it will beat the record in the end.

Uncharted 3 fell off the chart after only one week. How did that happen?

Yea, seems strange.  I also don't see how Duke Nukem Forever PS3 has even shown up on these charts, while the 360 version is closing in on 100K pre-orders.


It's just wierd. Uncharted 3 entered the chart when 5 games released and were removed. How did games like Final Fantasy XIV (PS3) sell enough to stay ahead of it. Something isn't right here. The PS3's biggest exclusive release this year and it only appears one week and is gone the next week.

I'd say Sony's multi million advertising campaign should start up soon for inFamous 2.

Battlefield 3 is pulling up some great numbers.

And Gears is just being the usual juggernaut it is.


Have been thinking the same thing. But when do you think it will start? May be a dumb question, but could it be possible that Sony would consider cutting back on the inFAMOUS 2 advertising campaign due to the money they lost recently with the psn situation? I'm doubting this would happen, but was wondering it nonetheless.

I hope inFAMOUS 2 sells boatloads!!! Totally deserves it! inFAMOUS 1 is my 3rd favorite game of all time, and inFAMOUS 2 is looking like it could outdo it in just about every way!

Oh, and Gears is insane. I hope Epic brings Gears to ps3 next time around. It's the one (well, kind of Alan Wake also) 360 game/series that intrigues me.
