It won't even earn a spot in the top 50 at that rate. Let's try to keep it in perspective. GoW could have been a sustained hit but gross limitations on Live play-styles prevented that. 3 million games sold is nothing. It won’t even earn a spot in the top 50 at that rate.

This will be evident once Halo3 hits and nobody will be playing it. GoW will go down as a gap-filler and an golden opportunity squandered with exceedingly limited Live play.[/quote] Whether or not Gears is a "killer app" shouldn't even be an argument at this point. <a href="http://gearsofwar.com/News/three_million.htm" rel="nofollow">Three million copies sold</a> is a number that not many games hit - let alone within two and a half months... As far as the Halo comment, I think that Gears has and will continue to be a nice addition to Xbox Live. There will always be people that prefer third-person shooters to first-person and vice versa, but Halo will inevitably grab a large portion of Xbox Live game time - regardless of the genre, so Gears won't be the only game affected by this.

But research about how Epic dominated the FPS genre will give you a good understanding why they are doing so well with GoW. When they made the announcement back in May 2005 at the E3 that they were going to make an FPS exclusive for 360, I knew then that that was THE killer app, I knew it right off the bat. Epic puts great effort into creativity and uniqueness, and yes Cliffy B was the lead designer of UT back then. Man the more I talk about that game the more I miss it and how I used to download new maps almost every other day because of the mod tool that was given to users to make their own maps. It was such a thrill to play. Honestly, that game would be just as much fin to play today as it was back then, it was that good. Only an upgrade to the graphics would be required. The gameplay was solid. Well, I don’t knwo if it’s free or not. But research about how Epic dominated the FPS genre will give you a good understanding why they are doing so well with GoW.
