As Gears Of War hits New Zealand stores today, Microsoft reveals the Xbox 360-exclusive title has already set new sales records around the world.
The Xbox 360™ juggernaut has sold an impressive one million copies worldwide in just its first two weeks of release, making the game the fastest-selling title over a two-week period in 2006 and the fastest-selling original Xbox® game of all time.
The battle continues to rage on Xbox Live® too, as more than 850,000 unique gamers have engaged in 10 million gameplay sessions while unlocking an impressive seven million Achievements.
As well as being the #1 title on Xbox Live, Gears Of War has also driven new members to the online gaming service – paid Xbox Live registrations per day have skyrocketed more than 50 percent since the game’s launch.
Those are some pretty impressive stats. Imagine what the stats would be like if the game supported free for all deathmatch.
