Forums - Microsoft Discussion - My next prediction - Gears 3 will sell 10 million...

i'll go at 6.5mill unless there's something really great about it, like free porn included



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

10 is a bit out there, unless they do some Sony level bundling, but the beta ensures 7-8 is likely.

Well considering all 3 companies bundled heavily on things before (not just Sony), I wouldn't say it's out of the question.

Only sony bundles AAA games. None of the gears or halo games have ever been bundled with the 360 (atleast not by microsoft). Limited Edition consoles are not the same as bundles since those things are expensive as hell.

I'm pretty sure Forza was bundled.

Right, forgot about that one. But other than that the only thing you'll get from microsoft are cheap lego games or something else that noone would actually buy on their own.

I'd have to agree with the majority here 7 - 8 mil at a max Gears has already built it's fanbase and i don't see it attracting many people who haven't played the franchise before, as much as i would love to see it hit 10 mil it's very unlikely

to be fair, forza 2, forza 3, fable 2, halo 3, and halo 3 odst are all good exclusive games that have been bundled at one time or another.

Its just that microsoft choses two games to bundle in their holiday bundles while sony makes a bunch bundles with every single one of their first party exclusives thats more than a few months old during their holiday bundles

Sony is the only one who needs to though.



You may have trouble paying attention to the story, though, given Crysis 2's constant sensory assault. This is the best-looking console game to date.

Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game
