Right, what exactly has that got to do with Americas Pre orders?

Again, you're missing the key word, PRE ORDERS!

Not to mention Halo Reach did 3 mill first week in America and ioi is claiming Gears could beat that, so yeah, don't make out it's impossible when it's actually not.

Gears of War deserves it. It's the best trilogy of this generation easily and it's way better than halo. And the beta is amazing. My current record is 64 wins with 15 losses and a 2.4 k/D.  

Damn you must be a beast!


I used to be better at it. On the first gears 44% of my kills were headshots. I loved the sniper back them. I haven't played gears in years and I'm still trying to get back to where i use to be

Of course it's not going to beat pokemon, but idt its fair to compare a handheld game (40$) with a home console game (60$).  Its like comparing iphone games (4.99$) with DS games (40$) but to a lesser extent. However Pokemon is awsum.

Gears 3 as always is just insane.  We could be looking at one of, if not THE BIGGEST exlusive launches ever.  I mean it is destroying Halo Reach in pre-orders in a similar time frame.

Brink looks good on the 360 as well for a new IP.  Hope it gets great sales cause it looks awesome.

And more people need to go pre-order Infamous 2, it easily looks like a GOTY contender for sure.

Gears 3 may be destroying right now but I just can't see it having all those 100, 200, 300k weeks that Halo Reach had at the end.

Even if it managed to just stay flat from here on out it'd still hit 1.7 million though, so it doesn't necessarily need any 200 or 300k weeks.

it wont stay flat from here out. It will drop to 20-30 k in a week or 2 and will stay there untill 3 or 4 weeks until launch. It will have between 1.1-1.5 million preorders here. Guys there is no chance of gears 3 being as big as reach. halo 3 has sold more than 11 million copies and reach is outpacing that. gears 1 n 2 have sold about 6 million copies(thats were odst is). Gears 3 wont sudenly double its predicessers sells.

gears 3 2.2 million fw in americas 500k everywere else. 2.7 million FW ww.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Yea, I can see GeOW3 adding 1-2 million extra lifetime sales compared to previous installments of the series.  But to actually double it with one game?  No way.  And if pre-orders don't drop like you say, I think we may be overtracking them.  Unless its going to have a HUGE 1st week and then drop substantially.
