Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Gears of War 2 outpacing Halo 3 in the UK...

Wow UK loves Gears. But how is it doing in the rest of europe ?



How can you possibly misspell QWERTY? It's spelled correctly on the damn keyboard.

Around the Network

rest of europe is don't matter if you have 400K in UK alone

you see 360 softwafre sales in 'others ' region are pretty good sales for seveal week.

great news for MS in europe region



Based on Chart-Track sales first week sales for UK are at around 250k.

This is 60% of what Halo 3 sold and I don't think it puts it on way to outsell Halo 3. Two days in first week is normal for UK and Gears probably will see more than 50% drop. So it won't equal Halo 3 first week sales even with 2 weeks.



So I guess GEOW 2 has been HUGELY OVER-ESTIMATED so far



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I find it FUNNY GEOW 2 sold 2 Million on DAY 1 YET EPIC n cliffy B who LOVES to show off havn't made a single statement....

Remember Gears2 will not release in Germany so it will be lucky to sell 500k in others.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

 Not true at all considering Halo 3 had an additional couple of days of sales in it's launch week. It could be quite close to Halo 3 after the 5/6 day reporting period it had during it's launch week. Nice try though.



HMmm, I'll ask this question here too:

Don't all games launch on the same day in the week? How come Halo 3 had a 5 day first week then?
