There will be a boost, but obviously not that much. You can't expect a Halo 3 calibre boost with Gears, since the public does not know it as well as the Halo series.

Even if it gets a Halo 3 type boost it still won't come even remotely close to what Wii is going to sell.  Unless there is a massive drop in Wii shipment from what we have seen in the last few weeks.

Who cares if it sells more hardware or not! if you have a 360 then you must have this game, it is stunning and the gameplay is fantastic best game I have ever seen or played..

Every single person I know with a 360 bought this game Friday and Saturday and every person on my freinds list is playing it right now other than 1 person..

The BEST Game this Gen is Gears of War 2 ..

No it wont get it to the WII numbers. It should provide a boost though but most Gears caters to the people who bought a 360 already

Went to circuit city to buy it you get a free 1600 point card and I saw a line of 5 people all buying it, never seen that before. There were only 5 people in the store (it was 10:15 just after the store opened



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

If it does, it will be for different reasons, like Wii shortages.



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree. ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million

360 was already the better console, unfortunately the Wii will still sell more.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I personally like my Wii a lot more than my 360.  Smash Brothers gets 5x the playtime that Halo 3 gets here.  Of course, I have friends and often game with them and they're more interested in Wii games overall.

No.

I would not expect much of any boost from gears. It is a sequel to game already on the console... meaning most gears fans already xboxs.

Any rise in sales would be more to do with holidays.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Xbox 114, Wii 295.

The wii sold almost 2.6 times as many units as the 360 did on gears 2 week. That's not worse than expected for the Xbox but it can't compete with the Wii.  Expect the Wii to continue selling more units every week until the last weeks before the holidays where retailers stockpile the valuable valuable wiis.
