TWODOGSz, I recommend that next time you do not try such blatant self promotion. Just post a comment on the Gears of War 2 page with your thoughts on its sales instead of linking to a blog post of your thoughts.
This "article" should not even be under the articles section as it clearly is not any sort of article and merely a blog post.
In reference to the predictions, I extremely doubt your numbers and predictions.
This estimate is optimistic, 10 million in 10 weeks!
He also estimated GTA IV sales of 13 million in 1 month!
"In Part One of this series I looked at the sales predictions for Grand Theft Auto IV. Based on the methodology I predicted 13million sales across both platforms in the first month"
"Many people argue that Gears of War 2 is a less mainstream game than Halo 3. The logic is that because of its more mature content its appeal is limited and Microsoft’s ability to market it in a Halo 3 fashion is markedly reduced.
If we take the original Gears of War sales experience and apply the relevant attach rate of 40.1% we see approximately 10m copies of Gears of War 2 being sold within ten weeks, of which 3.8m will come in first week sales and 7.3m within the first month."
Gears of War 2 is the hotly anticipated game for our favorite console, and even though videos and screens of the game have just started to eke out, gamers are in a tizzy for more. Well, we got more, an actual live demo of the game from none other than Cliffy B himself, showing the game in live action. So? How was it? In a word: sweeeeet.
@vGInfidel, Thank you vGInfidel. I talked with KuC about a month and a half ago, when a mass downbid occurred, and he had said he was considering ideas for dealing with downbidding problems that occur. He asked me what I thought and I said I would bring it up with the community because over time we have encountered many downbidding problems on the site and many have offered suggestions. So I guess we could start dialogue on how to deal with mass downbids and indiscriminate downbidding of many pages now. I'll post in general discussion soon to try and see what we can come up with as a team.
I just got a couple for no apparent reason, maybe someone is being a bit too happy with their downbids. I bid yours up again as i hadnt done so on your trailer yet so it doesnt look so bad :).
Again i reiterate my call for some sort of feedback system for downbids.
