VGchartz is very inacurate, and have failed two months in a row by predicting 360 outsold ps3. However i have seen them predict ps3 outsell 360 but it was false. Although they they tend to inflate 360 figures a lot more than they do ps3 figures. The bottom line though is you cannot accept VGchartz today and deny them tomorrow. Its nice to know weekly sales figures as NPD is once a month and we rarely ever get authentic data from the UK. So we make due with what we have

Back on topic fantastic achievement for the Xbox360.

I might be wrong but isn't this the 3rd game on the xbox 360 that breaks 5 million sale barrier. Halo 3 , Gears and now cod 4.

I agree with you sonarus, but we don't make the rules

regardless of vgcharts history of being really inaccruate, if CoD4 360 numbers are even close to that then congrats to them

Good for IW, in my opinion this should out sell halo3, it's better (brave statement).

it probably already has combined on both consoles. They are going to make a lot of money on the map pack, since so many people have this game.

Gears sold more and is 2nd

Gears 2 will outsell Halo 3 with easy though next Christmas. Gears 1 sold over 5 mln. with a userbase of 10 mln. max, Gears 2 with a userbase of by that time over 20 mln. will sell...

hahah you are still here. I think you are being overly optimistic with the gears of war 2 sales. Gears was regarded as the top of the line for all next gen games when it came out. If it doesn't meet similar goals i am afraid it might not even sell up to its predecessor

@ sonarus

Overoptimistic?

Wait... Lets talk logic:

Gears 1 was a new IP but sold like hot cakes. About 50% of all 360 owners bought it at that time. One out of two. For a new, unknown IP.

This time around, everybody knows that Gears is still about the best looking next gen game out there on any platform. So:

Fans that bought Gears 1 will buy Gears 2. I bet all those 5 mln. will.

The userbase has more then doubled by the time Gears 2 launches. It'll even be somewhere over 25 mln. users by then. And you think it can't sell 10 mln. copies on 25 mln. users if it sold 5 mln. copies on max. 10 mln. users?

Dude. It's EPIC. Those that also made the freaking nice UT3. Those that have had Gears as the salespitch for their Unreal 3 engine. Those that will have Gears 2 as the showcase for the 2 years after its launch to sell the Unreal '3.5' updated engine to be sold even more. Gears 2 will live up to its expectations and even go over it.

I'll take that bet. I'll buy a ceramic white PS3 if it won't hit that number. What will you do if it hits 10 mln. copies or more?

@ Danja

Dude check the facts. Gears 1 sold over 5 mln. copies period.

EDIT

at the one below: I've played Uncharted, the game graphics are overhyped. They're good, maybe up to Gears or close but nothing more. Plus I said: "still about the best" which make some room for other games also. Last but not least, Gears came in 2006, Uncharted in 2007, a full year later. I may hope it'll be just on par that much later

COD4 is another graphics style for sure and it looks good indeed. The version with the sharpest and best textures is on the 360 by the way. Thanks for pointing out that game another time

dude if ur gonna give me a link atleast make sure it's a reliable website...Gears hasn't sold 5mill yet..either way I dont care good for the 360...three 5mill selling games...Congrats...plz go ahead and bask in it's glory..I understand that good 360 news are rare these days

"This time around, everybody knows that Gears is still about the best looking next gen game out there on any platform. So:" ??????

are you stuck in 2006 or something..? Uncharted is by far the best looking next gen game so far...COD4 looks better than GeOW also...

and GeOW2 will not sell 10mill...it will sell around 4-6 mill...no more....not even GTA4 will sell 10mill on the 360..and that games has more mass apppeal

Danja are you really that stupid???

If Gears 1 with a userbase of 10 mln. has sold about 5 mln. copies...

How much will Gears 2 on a userbase of 25 mln. or more sell??? Really. 2.5 x the userbase it sold about 5 mln. copies on and you say it sells 4 to 6 mln.

I'll speak to you again this Christmas. Gears will sell 10 mln. for sure.

dude ur making it seems as if Gears sold 5 million all at once...it sold 3+ mill in 2006 and the rest throughout last year so stop saying it sold 5 mill with 10x user base..utter crap

why hasn't Halo 3 sold 10x yet and when it came out the 360 had a 15+mill installed base..and it's the biggest game on the 360 ?

Gears will sell to the same crowd that bought the 1st one...just with Halo 3 everyone who owned a 360 bought it for Halo 3...since it didn't really move as much Hardware as M$ had hoped....

7 - Why
Is it that you see alot of PS3 loyalists always commenting on news for the 360? Even if this was off by whatever # we know that the game is selling well on the system. It's one of the most popular Xbox live titles, and it has huge replay value on both systems...You guys really need to stop being haters. One day folks want to use Vgcharts next they want to condemn it. You can't have it both ways. I will say if I'm a developer I know what system sales my games. So this is good news for Infinity Ward and Activision. Hopefully we will get more maps in the summer, and better # of how many units have actually been sold...

Be a gamer...Not a hater...

You can say what ever you want If you own both systems and have COD4 on both systems, Like me =P PSN doesn't have as many players but it has a good sized COD4 base so far, of course it can't compete with XBL, but I prefer to play it on PS3, runs smoother IMO.

LOL, its funny how there is no kaz, phil, nasim/shmee/larry00 etc etc in teh open zone spewing ridiculous, childish nonsense.

Anyway, as someone above mentioned it deserves even more sales and it will be even better if ps3 sales also reach high numbers as this will make IW even happier and will support both formats.

Very polished is COD4.The only problem for me is that campaign plays out same each time - much like 99% of FPS.It's certainly one of the better ones though even though i prefer less real based offerings.In any case FPS is very stale right now what with so many of them all but one or two proving quite playable.Multiplay has huge incentives past other FPS in the form of it's upgrade system and it's because of this i think that it's proven so much of a hit - other FPS multi are bound to copy this addition.

Completely changing the subject

I'd love to live in an age where games were only excepted by there quality and by those that knew what quality actually was - the games industry is no worse than it's ever been really or indeed any other industry but the average consumer makes it possible for so much that is in it to be rubbish.The general stupidity of people is frustrating and i have far less respect for this industry than i should have.

Your comments always seem to amaze me. Unless you saying COD4 has sold 8 mil, 3 mill off that way then i would have to agree.

Anyway's I can tell you that i have someone on my friends list that is like level 5 and he is ranked in the 4 mill's somewhere. So i would say 5 mill is for sure. Congrats to them it is well deserved
