lol...not more than 6.5 million? You make that sound like thats a horrible number or something.

Drazz4702d ago (Edited 4702d ago )

9.1 mill, for Gears is my guess. I chose BF3 for launch. I'll wait for a price drop on MW3.

RegorL4702d ago

Battlefield 3 for X360 at 12 w before launch: 400 k units
now matches Black Ops for X360 at 12 w before launch: 400 k units

Will be interesting to see what future will bring...
(Gamescom this week)

OC_MurphysLaw4702d ago

Indeed those are good numbers for BF3, but what is crazy...look at the MW3 numbers at 14 weeks. Both games are going to have huge numbers opening numbers.

OdinFallen4702d ago

I'm surprised at the numbers for SWTOR. I had assumed that since I was seeing a bunch of places sell out of the collectors edition that it was selling fast. I guess supply is simply low and not able to meet demand there.

zerox5054701d ago

i think gears is selling well because it's the only exclusive available for the 360 this year...

BioDemon-4700d ago (Edited 4700d ago )

Forza and Halo don't count, and while we are at it, lets ignore XBLA games as well. /s

aviator1894700d ago

it's ridiculous how we keep getting this same exact comment with almost every gears 3-related article.

zerox5054699d ago

well its true, usually most gamers are into fps or tps games seeing how successful cod, battlefield, and halo is it's no doubt gears of war series would be as popular as well. halo 4 is not coming out this year and forza is just a racing game, has an audience but not that massive compared to other games out this year.

GrilledCheeseBook4694d ago

I disagree. Gears was my favorite shooter on the 360 when I had one. It sells well because it is good at what it is.

Forget Elder Scrolls 6, Skyrim Can Easily Be Made Into A Next-Gen Game

ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder19d ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Popsicle18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

anast18d ago

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

Smellsforfree18d ago

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.

Nice to have inclusivity. Happy Pride Month to the Puerto Rican community & the LGBTQ community here in NYC.

Who downvotes a comment like this?

Storm2319d ago

Yeah...the internet sucks.

Huey_My_D_Long19d ago

Welcome to the N4g. Where the gamers complain about gamer stereotypes while acting like gamer stereotypes.

Elda19d ago

Bigots & there are plenty on this site.

just_looken18d ago

The down votes because this is call of duty a first person shooter not pride month parade #45

I used to play first person shooter's for the military on military action not to watch someone with a pride flag stapled onto a cat shooting a gun from the boys on a map from my little pony.

Now you first up a game its all over your splash screen almost like a porn game can i just play a quick game like it was on the ps3 era ffs.

Elda18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

It's an article that's talking about COD & Pride freebies that coincides Pride month. June is the month of Pride & in the city & state of NY Puerto Rican heritage is celebrated including the LGBTQ community. You know where you can take your BS bigotry.

just_looken18d ago

@ ELDA

Go bang a dude or be a trans i do not care just do not spread that crap in my face 24/7

I do not care if its dung beetal month i am just sick on tired of it being everywhere like the fury shit or in the old days were church's went door 2 door preaching like gtfo with your cult crap.

Elda17d ago

It goes to show how immature you are because the article didn't look for you you decided to enter the article yourself knowing you knew what the article was about from the get go. Your ignorance shows through knowing Pride month isn't just for the LGBTQ but for all cultures & communities. No one put a gun to your head to enter this article you decided to enter the article just to spew your negative bigoted BS or just maybe you entered the article out of curiosity because you're a closet case.

just_looken17d ago

I entered the article because its about call of duty a videogame because we are on a videogame website
