Gears Of War Sells 2 Million
December 15th, 2006 by Darren Stevens in Action, Adventure, Business, Multiplayer, Xbox360
Only a few weeks ago we reported that Gears of War sold one million copies. Now developer Epic and Microsoft have announced that the game has sold 2 million copies worldwide, 1 million in US alone. This makes Gears of War the fastest selling next-gen title of all time (”all time” being 13 months). Unfortunately, I won’t be able to chainsaw anyone for some time, as my Xbox 360 just went dead. Unlucky me.

That is so screwed up, I know exactly how you feel. My 360 broke only a day after I got Oblivion, where I just got hooked to the game.
And Gears selling 2 mil? Completely deserves it, it’s an awesome game, as a matter of fact, I’m going for a round of Execution right now. Wanna join, Armin? Oh right, your 360 is broken

That’s insane. Nintendo needs to have sonething pretty fancy up their sleeve to counter this.

I guess I am and will always be in the minority when it comes to this game. Can’t wait until Halo 3 hits the shelves next year and all this Gears talk goes by the way side. Until then I suppose I will just have to tolerate it … at least until I get UT2K7 and start modding so I have zero time to even think about Gears.

Yeah, this kind of feals like a fad. Halo 3 however will most likely have that timeless classic quality that Ocarina of Time had.

“I guess I am and will always be in the minority when it comes to this game.”
Me too I guess. I’ve played enough to know that its good at times but people get mesmorized by the graphics 2 much. It is not a classic. The best part of the single player was the Berzeker moment and even the berzeker is a rip off a Resident Evil 4 enemy.
