Million Copies Sold – Gears of War
The numbers have spoken and Gears of War has become a million-copy-seller worldwide in just 2 weeks! That makes it the fastest-selling original Xbox title of all time.
As Gears of War continues to emerge throughout the world ahead of the holiday sales rush, the Xbox 360 juggernaut has sold an impressive 1 million copies world-wide in just its first two weeks of release elevating the game to the fastest-selling title of 2006 and fastest-selling original Xbox game of all time.
The battle continues to rage on Xbox Live as well, as more than 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking an impressive 7 million Achievements. On top of being the #1 title on Xbox Live, Gears of War has also driven new members to the network, as paid registrations per day have skyrocketed more than 50 percent since the game?s launch.
“From the very beginning, we knew Gears of War would be an industry-defining hit,? said Shane Kim, corporate vice president at Microsoft Game Studios. As we watched both the game and its hype grow, it became obvious that Gears of War was the rare title that could live up to such incredible anticipation, and judging from the reaction of critics and fans, it’s done just that.”

This game is so going franchise. I think I’d actually prefer for Epic to pursue other avenues though…

As far as I know Epic still has the Unreal rights. Meaning there will be other highly significant releases from them.

I guess they don’t realize I called you out earlier in the week for making a fanboyish thread.

You might not agree with some of my techniques but at the end of the who’s right there to pull you back when you start heading down the fanboy path?
