Gears of War Hits 1 Million Units Sold and Shoots to 1 on Xbox Live
Posted by XanTium | November 21 19:57 EST
 
From the Microsoft press release:
[QUOTE]
As "Gears of War" continues to emerge throughout the world ahead of the holiday sales rush, the Xbox 360 juggernaut has sold an impressive 1 million copies world-wide in just its first two weeks of release--elevating the game to the fastest-selling title of 2006 and fastest-selling original Xbox game of all time.

The battle continues to rage on Xbox Live as well, as more than 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking an impressive 7 million Achievements. On top of being the #1 title on Xbox Live, "Gears of War" has also driven new members to the network, as paid registrations per day have skyrocketed more than 50 percent since the game's launch.

I wonder what the numbers look compared to Halo 2 (as far as sold and number of people playing it online)

So... the average person has only 7 achievements? Is nobody playing for more than an hour?

This isn't surprising, I was on Live just now and everybody on my friends list, who happened to be online at the time, was playing that game.

What does bother me is that it's the fastest selling title of the year and the fastest selling xbox exclusive yet, but it carries a Mature certificate, am I right in thinking that some shit could potentially hit the fan here, it only takes one case involving a 12 year old boy, his 8 year old brother, and their Dad's chainsaw, and the battle will be moved from Sera to California quicker than you can say twat.

I spent 5 minutes playing the game before going to multiplayer. Achiements arent as easy in multiplayer.

indeed, but then again, we could have a game about Barney and have a 12 year old boy and his 8 year old brother, and a bunch of flowers he's trying to shove down his throat and you could make a case out of it wink.gif

Because of the parental controls and MS's parental education program, I don't think we will see any successful lawsuits against the 360 or it's publishers in this generation or the next.
