![]() In just 5 days, Gears of War 3 has sold over 3 million copies in the USA and PAL territories. This is a better start than the previous 2 iterations in the series and cements the franchise as one of the biggest on X-Box 360. It is also the biggest debut of any game so far in 2011 on any console. Judging by the take up of the game at ANWA, this news may not come as much of a surprise to most of you! |

Sorry all you Battlefield devotees but Gears of War is by far the bigger of the two. Gears of War 2 has sold over 6 million copies on the X-Box 360 alone. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has sold about 5.3 million copies on X-Box 360 and PS3 combined. |

Wow. I always thought as Gears as teh 360 exclusive to Uncharted, though they are very different games. It'll be good to have a large community for the Gears fans! |

As far as raw numbers on X-Box 360, the Gears series is probably third only to Call of Duty and Halo. |

It is a huge amount who buy the game, this and halo do seem to be the xbox's most popular exclusives by far. |

That is a good indication that people are ready for something new isn't it. Gears3 looks good any way you look at it.

This did surprise me actually, I knew that for a long time and maybe even now it had more pre orders that mw3 and bf3, although I didn't think it would sell this many. You never know, if there is a future gears of war game it could be the best selling game! |

It's not quite in Call of Duty territory but Epic Games and Microsoft must be very pleased. Mid last year it didn't seem possible for me that Gears 3 would outsell Part 2. The X-Box 360 is far from dead although the PS3 is closing. |
