I'm totally going on a limb and saying Gears 2 dethrones the king... goodbye Halo 3

@cueil

well looks like GEOW 2 predictions are getting as ridiculous as our LBP ones



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I would guess 2.5 million for Gears2. I cannot see it beating Halo3.



Nobody will every beat Halo 3

Oh, I wouldn't say never. I don't think anyone in this gen will though.

Anyone notice that the 360 top ten is made up almost full of Shooters and Madden? That says a lot for it's target demographic. While PS3 and Wii owners have more diverse top ten lists?

 

Nope. WRONG!! Look at the million sellers of 360s vs PS3. 360 has a much more diverse lineup
