:lol No, the only reason COD2 sold so well is because it was the best thing at launch, gears will outsell it by millions, and out of the top 20 xbox games sold in the us only 1 of them was a WW2 shooter.JB1981 said:COD 3 on 360 edges out Gears of War in sales. 360 fans can't get enough of the WWII shooter and it's partially more appealing to people of all ages. Gears' ultra-violence will prevent it from becoming the Halo-esque hit people are predicting.

You wanna bet that GoW will outsell all COD3?Mrbob said:No, it won't. Gears should do better on 360 than CoD3, but overall CoD3 will sell more.
The ultraviolence in Gears is going to keep gears from doing Halo numbers. I know people look at Saints Row and Dead Rising sales and think Gears will squash those numbers, but those two games came out at slow times. November is pretty stacked for 360. Raw vs smackdown 2007, tony hawk project 8, rainbow six vegas, call of duty 3, and gears. Gears should do well overall. I'll say 400,000 in November and another 550,000 in December.

It's not an FPS.VALIS said:I've always thought people were over-estimating GoW's potential sales, and that belief got reinforced tonight as I was talking to a friend of mine who just got a 360 and is a Halo nut and fits the mold of a casual gamer to a tee.
"Gonna get Gears of War next week?"
"I think I've heard about that. What is it, an FPS?"
"Yeah, it should be amazing. Big, cinematic type production values, supposedly great multiplayer, much like Halo."
"Nah. I'm really just waiting for Halo 3."
*shrug*

TheGreenGiant said:I'll bet you $20 bucks. No way Halo2 will OUTSELL Halo. Are you on drugs? The numbers and reality are against it. HALO is cheaper. Halo is already out there and impossible to surpass (if anything, new gamers will also buy HALO after playing 2 or before playing 2)
and finally there wasn't modchips when HALO was released :ZING!:
you paypal me the money.
OKTHXUBYE
Oh wow, that's delicious! So very very delicious! :lolSean said:Read this, its funny as hell: Official Halo 2 Sales Crow Thread (popcorn not included)
Those were not even all the predictions either :lol
Truelize said:Gears will have HUGE numbers. It will be the best selling 360 game in no time at all.
The only inside news I have is that Blockbuster in Canada is sold out already. We have been doing pre-orders for a month now and not only can we not take anymore preorders but we wont have a single copy for retail on day 1 because they are all sold already.
I know Blockbuster doesn't do the same numbers as EBgames or Future Shop, but it's still a considerable amount when you consider that Blockbuster isn't exactly thought of as your first stop to buy games.
Ding ding dingTieno said:it's a distant second to Halo 2
Tieno said:I do wonder why they're not giving the numbers? Either they don't have them or it's a distant second to Halo 2 or ....
They're talking pre-orders, if I'm not mistaken.Ejab said:To be second to Halo 2 it would have to beat Fable, which sold about 2.5 million.

Oh, but it cant be that distant from halo 2, I had to go to 4 different gamestops till I could find an available pre-order.Tieno said:They're talking pre-orders, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh man. I seriously thought to myself when I read that earlier, "sounds like bullshit, but what do I know, sure do hope Zepking comes in and calls him out though"Zepking said:What? You had to go to 4 different stores to find an available preorder for Gears of War?
That isn't possible. Reserves are open company wide and not closed in "Specific Stores"
GhaleonEB said:And on it not crossing 500k in December.
And Odysseus really, really hopes the 360 does not cross 5m by the end of the year. :lol
