Wikipedia says 5 million. The Wiki is never wrong.

I wonder if some of that is time lag between catalog preparation and catalog release.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

It was funny at first seeing how overenthusiastic Sony fans were getting with the Resistance 2 vs. Gears 2 wars and the unending threads about them, especially seeing that Resistance isn't in Gear's league in sales or hype.

But this is just ridiculous.

There it is, took a while for someone to mention it.

Clearly GAME, EB and Gamestop are the best sources of gaming information, because they are gaming shops after all, how could they be wrong? History tells us that these stores have always been right on the money with release dates and accuracy of information, even when they conflict with each other, they are still right!


(hopefully your sarcasm detectors aren't broken.)

Maybe someone was lazy and used the numbers from last years catalog.

epic fail bud vgc has the latest and best numbers available

 

sorry kirby but theres no epic fail involved at all, it was a simple question regarding numbers that i seen in the latest GAME catalogue

i use vgchartz the most and i trust thier numbers, if the real numbers are over 5 million then thats great. still no harm in asking a question is there

 

The fifth post in this thread provided a link that confirms sales of GoW are over 5 million. So you don't believe VGChartz. You don't believe MS' sales numbers? You don't believe in following links that answer the very question you posed, but you believe the latest GAME catalogue? Why ask a question if you aren't willing to accept the answer?

EDIT: Yes Valkyria Chronicles does kick ass. Anyone that picks up Eternal Sonata instead of VC should be kicked in the scrotum with a steel tooled boot. I was glad to see Sega churn out a top notch and unique RPG and hopefully they will use VC's engine for a new Skies of Arcadia. I mean Vyse, Aika, and Fina are in Valkyria Chronicles after all

 

that confirms that gears of war has sold over 5 million... it doesn't specify which version. How do i know they aren't including PC?

4mil? 5 mil? it's all the same

said Phil Spencer, general manager of Microsoft Game Studios. "Holding the title of fastest-selling video game of 2006, Gears of War has sold more than 5 million units to date, and this next chapter in the franchise will raise the bar yet again."

 

Yep, VGChartz was right, confirmed.

I hate it for ya.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
