Blockbuster game Gears of War 3 finally launched this week after being delayed from its previous April release date. It opened to around 2.3 million (may fluctuate 10% either way, and should pass 3 million worldwide). A 2.3 million opening in Americas puts it on a par with Black Ops PS3 and Grand Theft Auto IV X360's debuts.
DS got another Kirby game this week, Kirby Mass Attack achieved around 40-45k units. F1 2011 also debuted this week to 50k units combined.
Hardware should be relatively flat for all this week, bar the X360 which should see a 50-60k unit bump off the back of Gears 3, mostly from the limited edition console.
Insane numbers for Gears. Nice work epic. Gotta give credit where it's due. Gonna be interesting to see where they take the franchise from here.
