News Oh wow

[Tarvis]

We have some reviews added since last night, and also we now have an editorials section.

This freight train is in motiooooooooooooooon.

In other gears news, the numbers predicted for november are:

• Xbox 360's 800,000 in sales are more than double the PS3's 375,000.
• Gears of War 2 expected to top the charts at 2 million copies.
• World at War sells big to the tune of 1.4 million copies.
• Left 4 Dead sold a reasonable 300,000 units.
• Mirror's Edge was a sales flop, not in the top 10.
• Guitar Hero franchise may be reaching its mass-market sales peak.

Look at that gears train roll.

Man, Gears 2 sold more than 2 million copies in its first weekend. That, plus the rest of the month, plus black friday = at LEAST 3 million, I'm betting closer to 3.5. We'll see on Thursday at 6:30EST!

And I wouldn't be surprised if Left 4 Dead sold more than that, Valve is very happy with its sales apparently.

LOOKS LIKE U WERE WRONGGG

 

[Joe]

Well I was kinda thinking Gears 2 worldwide sales. My above post is only USA. Considering they said Gears 2 sold 2 million worldwide in its first weekend, I still think it's sold at least 3 million worldwide by now.

 

[Joe]

Either way it's selling faster than Gears 1.

 

[Joe]

Worldwide PS3 + 360 = 38.2 M
Worldwide Wii = 37.2 M

Well, not long now until the streams cross.
