Gears of War hits 1 million units sold

360 News | Live subscriptions up, 10 million gameplay sessions logged.
Even though the PlayStation 3 and the Wii have now launched in America, Microsoft's Gears of War has been a massive success. The GamerScore Blog has announced that Gears has sold over one million copies worldwide in less than two weeks.

Gears has also been a success online, 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking 7 million Achievements. Paid registrations per day have rocketed to more than 50 percent since the game's launch.

If you ask us, the success is worthy, if you haven't had a chance yet then why not read our verdict on the game? We'll have more information on Gears of War shortly, the game is set for release in Australia tomorrow.

Definitely Microsoft's juggernaut this Christmas and good to see that it gets the sales that it (possibly, according to others) deserves.

I was reading earlier today that the 360 has been doing very well over in the US in the face of Wii and PS3 shortages, to the point where now all 3 consoles are not always easily found. Part of this was due to Microsoft bundling GoW with the 360 (along with 2 other games).

^ Mixed opinions? The average review score on Gamerankings.com says 95%. You generally won't get a score like that when opinions are mixed.

^ Fair point there Spanca. GOW seems like a good game to me, from what I saw of it at eGames. The chainsaw is awesome! icon_smile.gif Definitely some of the best in-game graphics that I've seen, but I don't really know about the gameplay.

Wow. Thats fast. But the real question is whether Halo 3 will sell faster. Which i think it will. Should be an interesting race...

I wasnt impressed by the game personally, it was good game but not great. It was letdown like resistance was.

A fast selling game can mean only one thing: the game becomes part of the Classic range. Bring on the box art.
