Okay, how much do you expect GT5 to sell, huh? Do you believe it will sell more than 12M? Because if you don't, Gears 2 might get within 3/4 of its sales. That is "touching it" in sales.

2.5mil is a little optomistic. 2 mil would be a little more accurate.

It sold 900k 1st week including others, so I think 2m is reasonable

2.5 Million sounds about right. Possibly more.

If Fable 2 can sell 1 million, and this is a far bigger release...

Tease.

At WiiStation360, it'll be an interesting week, I didn't preorder it but I know a bunch of people who did. I know I've yet to see so many developer commentaries before a game is released.

Gears will Be a Massive Seller. Will Stuff Resistance 2 nd LBP in Sales but Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 and Killzone will sell better than it

You think God of War 3, and Killzone 2 will both sell better than Gears of War 2?

With killzone 2 who knows

But with GOW 3 impossible

GOW 2 only sold like 2 - 2.5 million I think.....thats not great

I also highly doubt Killzone 2 will outsell Gears of War 2. I mean, Killzone 2 will probably sell really well, but Gears 2 is gonna be one of those rare mega-launches. It's been highly touted since it came out. Who knows though.

Killzone 2 = Can outsell Gears 2 if Sony advertise the Hell out of it and publicly announce it as the best graphical game to date

God Of War 3= I believe it will sell like hotcakes if it has no real competition. I know GoW2 didn't sell alot but I think GoW Chains of Olympus in PSP was a major hit
