Gears of War 2, first week: America - 1,890,000. Others - 475,000. Japan - 43,000.

Gears of War 2, first week: Totals - 2,408,000 - all I know is that Resistance 2 won't come close.

Gears of war which didn't pass 5 million but sequal will sell over 8 million?

well the 360 userbase has nearly doubled since gears was realesed so it could sell 8 million

Which Gears of War are you talking about that didn't sell 5 million? The PC version? Because according to this site Gears of War 360 is at 5.25 million.

that's not correct..when GoW was released there were 5.3M x360...when GoW2 will be released there will be more than 20M (that's almost 4x)

8M LTD for gow2 to me is really a conservative estimation

Microsoft Predictions (Xbox 360) :

Gears Of War 2 : 8 million lifetime with 2.5 million launch week

Little Big Planet: 2.5 million lifetime with 700k launch week

Resistance 2: 5 million lifetime with 2 million launch week

I don't really have the inclination to think through all of them, but I will say Fable 2 > LBP, first weekend and lifetime. Both have been previewed excellently by members of the media, but Fable has the advantage of an existing fanbase.

5 million is the sell through at retail for new copies, but don't forget about rentals and sales of used copies, neither of which are tracked.  The number of people who have been exposed to the game and may want the sequel is much higher than retail sales figures would indicate.

Microsoft Predictions (Xbox 360) :

Gears Of War 2 : 8.5 million lifetime with 3.75 million launch week

Fable 2 : 2 million lifetime with 600k launch week

Viva Pinata 2: 1.8 million lifetime with 500k launch week

Banjoo Kazooie 3 : 2.4 million lifetime with 450k launch week
