Of course im not talking World wide here since Gears already got outsold by Zelda TP.. (4 million WW Gears Vs. 4,5 million WW Zelda)

Im talking about NA.. According to NPD data Gears is at 3 million sold in NA

the Wii version and the GC version combined sold about 2.5 Million...

But looking at the charts of last month Zelda is still ranked in the Top 20 while Gears fell off..

This means Zelda TP will outsell Gears by Christmas... lmlamlamlamala TLHBO (GoTY... Gears ? nah not really)

Wow, Gears only sold 1 million outside of the U.S.? That'sa lot less than I thought... it's a good thing Americans are obsessed with shooters these days. Well, then again, I guess not entirely if Zelda is about to outsell it.

You said it about gears, now the shoes on the other foot.

When you only have one game, it's bound to sell well, right?

Eh.......It's kind of sad though. A brand new IP on a next gen console, versus one of the most known, respected and wanted games of all time on the cheapest next gen console, versus a last gen console.

we are talking about TP vs gears

TP is on both the cube and the wii... gears is on the 360 alone

how many copies did TP sell on just the wii? now compare "that" to gears... If gears was on both the 360 and the xbox, it would have outsold far more than TP on the wii and gamecube

oh my god you simply just don't understand :lol::lol:

who said anything about a flop? ... let me go through this again so you can absorb whatt i'm saying.

you said TP is about to outsell gears... TP is on 2 platforms and gears is on one so I said you cannot compare the sales of a game on 2 systems to the sales of a game on just one

well the GC version sold a little less then 1 million in NA.. less then 300k in Europe and we have no numbers on the japanese version since it was sold online only...

but then again i dont get your argument...

all you wii haters claim is that wii is nothing more then GC 1.5.. why are you know suddenly treating it as next gen when sales come into account..?

The original topic was derailed slightly, saying wii had no other games that were selling. Try reading otehr peoples post than yours some time.

Eitherway, if it was on xbox, I don't think it would be selling much there at all. Like I said earlier "Not my problem".

ALCATRAZZ3

Same review system? They don't even have a review system, they're a collective of online review sites, averaged up together. True what you're saying that only gamespot matters here, however, that's if we were discussing it's score. We weren't.

well, it's actually embarassing since zelda is 20 yrs old whereas gears is a new game. :| i really expect more sales from zelda.

besides, i like zelda, and i played gears on my friend's 360. i like them both.

I'm sorry, but you can't really compare TP on 2 systems to Gears on the 360. And even if you could...Gears is still a better game (TP felt like a step back after Wind Waker, in terms of originality), although not by much.

i didnt like zelda tp that much. it was a good game, but i couldnt get into it cause it was too much like zelda OoT. I prefered windwaker a whole lot more than TP. i have to agree with one of the posters who said tp felt like a step back after windwaker. I dont know why ppl complained so much about windwaker cause it looked kiddy. i thought it was creative and loved the cell-shaded look.

And also, if anything, I find it remarkable that a well-established and well-respected series like Zelda hasn't outsold Gears yet, even though it's on TWO systems, and basically the only good game on one of the systems (Wii), while Gears is only on the 360.

who cares who out sells who? if zelda out sells gears of war nothing happens. gears of war will still be like 3 times as better as zelda.Zelda flopped.
