Gears 3 bombed in Japan, we need to talk about it.


ACtually looking deeper on the chart I see Ico and shadow not doing as good as I thought it would! That is strange!  For an Xbox game, and the 360 slowly doing what its doing over there that seems pretty good for Japan and the 360! We will have to see what the sales will amount to.


I guess you are right! It only did mediocre in Japan.

10) Gears of War 3 (X360) - 15,000

But I wonder if that included Amazon sales?

Why wouldn't it include Amazon sales.

I dont know. The Amazon chart says it was number 2.  by the way...Ther are only three people posting right now. MarcusD is the other. 86 members online right now!

Uh-oh some baby seals just died! (don't know if you remember that)

 

But yeah Amazon sales mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. In fact the reason it was probably #2 on Amazon is because many stores in Japan don't sell the 360 or games anymore

yeah,but MC/Famitsu chart also never include any internet sales number

What was the record? Do you know something we dont know? no

i see your well versed in sarcasim as well. we both know it did well over 1m so i'm looking at 3m+ first wk


You know what! I just discovered that we can write in others comments a few minutes ago, and now I see you doing it here! Cool!


i've started doing it because of long post and the seizures i had last yr f'd up my short (and most long) term memory, but i always new you could. i saw it being done all last yr and this yr.

i did it in that post because it was convenient lol.


Well thank you for showing me an example. .....and never be my waiter! If that is a sensitive subject just forget that last joke.

you know i love jokes and sarcasim and wht nots. nothing has changed since i last posted so forget about it??(reference intended)! i'm not some pansy, or delicate flower, and i'm going to need a big tip, besides the only thing i know thats sensitive is the clitorous lol!


My sinuses are sensitive to dust mites. lol this one is the funniest!

 

@D-Joe   then these are some good chartz if they are on par with Famitsu! Thanks for adding that! thanks D-joe

microsoft havn't released the numbers yet because it obviously didn't meet there expetations! gears isn't halo and they should know that by now


What were there expectations? It is getting great word of mouth, so I think it will hold on for a while! 2.5 million to 3 million is my prediction. That should be good. This sales thing is very weird.


they expect 4m playing online by the weekend! which is a big overshoot! gears will do amazing prob 2.5m-2.8m fw but not 4m

they said 4mil playing by the weekend instead of 4mil sold specifically because they don't think it will sell 4mil. They just think 4mil accounts will have played it which includes people who rent the game, people who buy the game used, and people who have multiple accounts for their friends. For example Halo 3 has had well over 20mil people(gamertags) play the game online according to bungie's stats. Obviously it hasn't sold that well.

Well I didn't know that...does Vgchartz? Cause their numbers are usually around the same as MC/Famitsu (as far as consoles go at least)

So now this statement has been proven massively wrong. And Gears 3 has sold Halo numbers, did you wish you researched the preorders first before claiming what you did?

Gears 3 has 2 milion preorders. You knew that right?

it is selling good beacause there is no AAA game realeased , and 360 does not release one exclusive in almost an year, this makes the 360 fans so hungry for exclusives they are buying a lot.

and the game is good ofcourse


Yeah, no. Both MW and Battelfield will perform similar to this. It's selling well because it has mass apealing. People like this kind of games, especially in the US. Add to that the metacritic score, the fact that Gears of War has already stablized itself has a series, and the markting it had, and you have an better answer.

 

And there are some multiplats selling better than exclusives on the PS3. How would you explain that? PS3 fans does not care for they exclusives?

"And there are some multiplats selling better than exclusives on the PS3. How would you explain that? PS3 fans does not care for they exclusives?"

sony release : lbp 2 , killzone 3 , infamous 2, resistance 3 , yakusa 4 , socom 4 , motorstorm game , and another games, do you think every single guy will buy every single exclusive from that list ?  damn,  if they would sell 5 millions copies  for every exclusive they release , hard to imagine that ...


IS any of this necessary?

Microsoft are doing well having 2 franchises hitting 8 mill + sales per game. 

Gears 3 has outdone all reports of what many sites thought the game might do forits opening week. Many reported it would bomb due to stiffer competition this year than for its previous 2 releases. 

Gears 3 is alot better than the first 2 games and deserves the sales its getting. 

Can we get the thread back on topic? 

Instead of crappy stealth comments of insecure fanboys? 

I'm a fanboy, but dont stealth post peoples threads.  make a thread myself to make my own point if its off topic or disruptive for no reason.
