GoW-2 pure quality, but it'll be interesting to see how it holds against WoW. Fallout 3 heavily overated imo.

Gears was always going to sell more than LBP, it's an established franchise with an enthusiastic fanbase and a larger potential market.
However, looking at the individual format chart, LBP was actually the second best selling SKU last week. Some of that may have been to do with the extra two days it had in its launch week, although our local Gamestation said there was very little activity around LBP on Wednesday and Thursday last week.
On the other hand, the sales gap between Gears and LBP is huge. Gears sold about four times the copies that LBP did. After that the other SKUs in the individual chart are pretty close together.
It's going to be interesting to see how each game fares in the coming weeks. Is Gears going to stay top? Is LBP a slow burner that will continue to sell?
