I think they will just because H3 has been waited on forever, but Gears will come out before.

Certainly Halo 3 will have sales on launch days. Not everyone who owns an Xbox peruses forums, scopes out gaming sites, or otherwise watches the industry. You'd be surprised how many people have never even heard of e3.

Still, I imagine everyone who buys Halo will probably buy Gears of War... unless they have this strange aversion to third person shooters. There are a few out there that refuse to play them. The poor sods don't know what they're missing.

Hated by many, confronted by none.

Halo 3 will sell more, but I'm going to have them both :-)

I was just about to say something like that, but thanks for that, Pretender.

The question you really have to ask is, what is the storyline and gameplay?:

Gears: Untested version of something that looks kind of like GRAW in the distant future.

Halo 3: The fast and strong gameplay of the second chapter with a massive and triumphant -bang!- to end the storyline of our main man, John-117.

I think you're right Gunshark, but Gears of War will probably be pretty good anyways. I'm gonna have it to survive until Halo 3 release day

Gears of War looks kick ass, but Halo has more popularity even though Halo 2 sucked.

Stfu.


On topic: I think yes, it will have more copies, since it has been getting so much attention, and probably since it could be the only reason people have been getting 360's. (or saving for them)

Gears of War is going to kick some PS3 A-S-S! But Halo 3 of course will sell more, it is going to be a better game, and the anticipation is huge.


Screw the PS3!!

Wow, that is hi-larious. I just voted and 100% think Halo 3 will sell better. Why wouldn't it? It has two games building up hype for it.

Everyone knows Halo 3 will sell more than not just Gears of War, but most likely every other game around that time. I remember seeing a magazine with Gears of War on the cover...and i felt a tinge of anger when i saw the caption under it...

"The game that will make you say...Halo WHO?"

I believe some other games have tried that alley...say...Killzone?

hehe

Well. Seeing as how Halo: Combat Evolved was considered by many places "the best game in the world" Halo 2 selling 125 million bucks FIRST DAY, being the most played game over live, i'm sure Halo 3 will break 125 mill and become a legend.

Halo 3 will sell more.. As for Sweetpandamonium's comment on Gears of War, I'm sure waiting for it. I can hardly wait. Looks fantastic. Of course, with Halo 3, everyone knows what to expect and will be much more inclined to buy it. Gears of War is new and "different".. Like Hyrbrid cars. People don't like buying them because they're new and different. Things take time.

iDon't need an app to make fart noises. There's an ass for that.

Halo 3 probably will sell more copies than Gears of War, but i'm still going to get both games, they both look great. Only time will tell which one sells more.
