Forums - Sales - Bigger system seller?

Halo 2 sold a lot of Xboxes. Why wouldn't Gears 2 sell a lot of 360's?

It really is the new Halo.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Resistance 2 will sell more hardware units, Gears will sell a bit more in software units. Who wouldn't have bought a 360 for Gears of War 1, Halo 3, Bioshock and all those other shooters? And don't tell me that the poor are going to buy lots of Xboxes, they can get a Pro for $199 on ebay instead of the arcade. We have already seen what the price drop has given, 71k on the second week when a timed exclusive and a big multiplat get released. The userbase difference should give Gears an edge, although I think it will be closer than you think because many people are skipping the 360 version to play it on PC.

 

Really. Wow do u know that it isn't out on the PC yet??? So just like Halo3 right? People are not buying it b//c they are waiting for the PC version.

OT: Gears 2 will crush Resistance 2 unless ofcourse SONY rescues it by bundling the game. If it isn't bundled I say it will sell 3.7mill to 6.5mill. Also Gears 2= R2+MGS4 in sales. No matter how much hype MGS4 got it only sold 3million due to heavy bundling. What makes u think R2 do will do much better?



i cant wait for the upset of the year when resistance 2 defeats gears 2 in not only software sales but in moving hardware!



^ dream on BUHAHA

I don't think either will be an MGS4 or Halo 3, but I'm going to say Gears of War 2. More people played it the first time, and there are more people who have heard of it.

 

 I think that Gears 2 will outsell or thereabouts equal sales of MGS 4.


in hardware defo no. halo3 didnt really sell more hardware i dont see how gears can

 ahem.....

Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
(x2)

Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

in hardware defo no. halo3 didnt really sell more hardware i dont see how gears can

in that case MGS4 didn't really move anything too.

 



Think they will move hardware equaly for each console, altough Gears 2 will probaly move more software.
