I bet that before the end of Jan 2009 the 3rd place will be taken by GoW2...and by the end of this generation CoD 6 will push back one place everything else on this sales chart.



2008 year end sales (made in January 2008):

44.2 M 27.1 M 20.8 M

Around the Network

Call of Duty 5 for sure, followed by Gears 2 will have the best sales of the mentioned.



Gears 2 will take #3

err.. why isnt Crysis in there? or UT3 or other good FPSs? Oh i see your going by sales.... why?

Crysis is sitting at 1.5 mil.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crysis#Sales

 

Not sure what UT3 is sitting at.

 

that was like 4 months ago. Now with all the GPU bundles, download, and retail sales it should be over 2 million easy.

UT3 should be over a million without the console versions by now.

FYI until Crysis outsells Gears of War it won't be on that list. Thats tripple your current estimated sales...

 

 

I dont care. You list is crap. You cant say top 3 shooters and use sales. It just doesnt work. What makes a great game is gameplay not sales.

Wii Sports is currently the 5th best selling game in the world. Now will you say Wii Sports is a better game then Madden, FIFA, the MLB titles, etc? I seriously hope you wont.

 

I didn't know PC's followed the same generations as consoles.  Just so we are on the same page here, what generation did Half-Life 2 release in?  I was seeing a November 2004 release date.  So, that makes it Gen 6 for PC's? 

Sounds like you just didn't like the games you saw in the list so had to find a way to make it invalid.  Go make a thread about gameplay, and whine about sales over there.

I give that post a 9.2.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

PC really doesnt have generations, its jsut there, retro to current games are mostly all BC with current systems. Its only matter of if you have the correct hardware.

Ahh.  So what was the point of bringing PC games into a conversation regarding top games of this generation when generation would seem to only refer to consoles?

resitance 2 will go against gears 2 wont it



 

LOL why are people arguing with SSJ2 when most people here don't care about PC. He is an admitted PC fanboy who is always looking to put console games down . To the OP just put consoles only and maybe ssj12 follow the rules and stay on topic instead of this mindless attempt to add PC games which are apparently immune to everything. Honestly not even sure why his wasting his time though I guess he really really wants us to care about PC sales since in his imaginary world it is actually listed on the front page of the site LOL. Bottom line is you can't win against SSJ12 when it comes to PC games especially when being compared to console games so why bother.

I just realized for how much people keep touting Killzone 2 it may be hurt by the sales of Resistance 2 or vice versa. If Resistance 2 is the AAA game it is shaping up to be then the legs could be cut by Killzone 2. Therefore i can't really call the sales of either one.

Off topic: Its funny how people don't read. There are still posts saying, Halo sucks or Conduit FTW etc.

On Topic: Thats the reason why I was hesitant to give either R2/KZ2 a better shot at that number 3 spot. Conditions aren't quite favourable for either to take off.

 

it does.... compare it's gameplay versus 95% of the FPS market. You should know for a fact it is pathetic versus most games of the genre. The problem is there are thousands more FPSs on the PC versus console so 1 - 2 million sales dont sound like much but comparing 200 games versus 3 games selling around 8 million makes a major difference.

 

That argument gets so old.  I've played PC fps games online all the way back to quake, duke, UT (series), CS, the entire battlefield series 1942 to 2142, and on and on.  A lot of those were on shitty dialup connections or LAN.  Guess what? I still enjoy Halo multiplayer.  Every game is different in it's own way and I like them for different reasons. You have games that are twitch fests (ala quake, UT), more tactical team based (CS), to huge scale battles (BF series),  Halo is more of a run & gun game with a good amount of team based strategy behind it.  It's easy to pick up and play with a couple friends and have a good time.  Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, others it's time for something else.  I think Halo gets a lot of unnecessary hate from the elitist PC community when it's a good game.  It's all opinion anyway but there is a reason why some games post huge numbers and others do not.

OT: I think Gears 2 will surpass Gears 1.  Then COD5 will settle somewhere in the middle of that list.  Too soon to know what else might show up.
