Forums - Sales Discussion - MS: Gears 2 sales approaching 3mil. (Is gears 2 a bit overtracked on VGC?)

MS revealed that the Gears 2's sales approaching 3mil. 

On VGC the sales stands at 3.3 mil.

I have the feeling that Gears 2 is way overtracked on VGC.

What do you think?

Hmmm being off by roughly 300K isn't that bad especially considering that it is software which is much more harder to track than Hardware.



End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m

Now Playin':  PS3|Resistance 2, LBP, Uncharted and Fifa 09, PSP| Ratchet and Clank: Size matters, 360| Gears of war 2 and Fallout 3.

300k? I dont think so, remember the "shipped" vs "sold" theory, yea its more than just 300k, as much as Id hate to say it, thats what vgchartz says, and taking in the sites theory, GEARS 2 isnt sold out, therefore it hasnt reached 3M consumer sales.

Currently Playing:  Saints Row 2 | Battlefield 2 | Company of Heroes

Looking Forward to: Alan Wake | Splinter Cell : Conviction | The Last Guardian | Batman: Arkham Asylum | SMG2 | Mass Effect 2 |

Considering MS is probably talking "sold to retailers" it's way more than 300K difference.

That it is.




You forgot to add this little part;

“Maybe [Epic VP] Mark Rein has a more up to date number.”

That right there can make all the difference in the world for one.



Here we go again with all these Sony fan boys .
These threads pop up all the time



well if this number is shipped then, yes it is over tracked by at least 500k. If this is sell through then it is close enough to not bother adjusting (maybe 100k either way)



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

There is a difference between sold to retailers, and sold to consumers. The data that MS has is the 'sold to retailers', so Gear of War 2 is WAY overtracked i think, definitely more than just 300k
