Yeah I'll be buying the season pass for sure.

And it would appear that Vgchartz has Gears 3 slightly overtracked then? By about 100k or so

4 months ago they announed that Gears of War 3 reached 1 million pre-orders worldwide so I assume that 1.3 million is also worldwide.

If that's the case, It's way overtracked here for pre-orders.

Most important...

"Thew first two games in the franchise have combined for over 11 million sales to date."

Gears of War: 5.95m
Gears of War 2: 6.11m

Total: 12,06m

that's not great, I presume its a shipment number as well, so we look like were overtracking them about 1.1 million

They do mention over 11 million. That figure might be from a while ago. They don't give any sources. Also Gears of War was on PC.

There's no date given for when that milestone was hit, so that's something else to keep in mind as well.

Funny how people keep ignoring this post.

So VGC has it slightly overtracked if it's USA or extremely overtracked if it's WW. Most likely the former.

if it's USA thats means no overtracked becuase VGC is Americas

FYI over 11mil does not mean 11.01. Anyway its pretty obvious its overtracked, but again. 4 months ago they announced 1mil ww. There is no way it only added 300k in the past 4 months ww yet somehow gained 1mil preorders before that even with the beta. So either as said this info is old, or not world wide.
