Gears Of War Already Sells One Million Copies
Two weeks after the release of the much anticipated Gears of War, Microsoft announced that Gears has already surpassed the one million mark for sales, something that Microsoft had hoped would happen by the end of the year, let alone two weeks. This makes Gears of War the fastest selling title in 2006, topping the charts in US and Europe. From Teamxbox:
“The game has also become the most-played Xbox Live game as more than 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking an impressive 7 million Achievements. Microsoft also believes that the game has driven new members to the network, as paid registrations per day have skyrocketed more than 50 percent since the game’s launch.”
This is very impressive, and should push other developers to work hard, build hype, and deliver a game just as Epic did.
