You do know it needs to quadruple its sales right now to achieve that... right?

And you do know that Gears 1 sold 375k in the same time frame ?

One year later even 450k and it had the same average weekly sales before Nov 1st as Gears 2 today.

Gears 1 sales have drastically slowed down since January 2009. It will have a nice holiday boost, but far less than in the years before. Gears 2 on the other hand will have a massive boost.

Yes it will outsell it by a good amount.

look what happend to R2 though, it was ahead of its predisecor but then it dropped.

That's absolutely not comparable.

Resistance FOM was heavily bundled during a full year or even longer. (and so was Motorstorm)

In fact not counting the bundles, Resistance 2 is probably tracking ahead of Resistance FOM.

it should do, but just barely.

Gears 2 has been out for a year now anyway and is still having steady legs. It'll pass it eventually (and it should, it's the better of the two, at least campaign wise), and it might even hit 6 million.

I hope not. Gears 2 sucked hardcore and if it doesnt pass gears 1 maybe epic will get the message to change it back to what made it special in the original. Make the shotgun good again!!!!!!

case closed well said

Gears was released way b4 2 came out so of course 1 will still have a lead give it some time 2 well pass it in the future

Yes, however it will perhaps take a year to do it.
