Very impressive numbers. Have yet to get it though but planning to.
How does this compare against the previous 2? or Reach?

Or better yet, Call of Duty?

Great start for Gears 3.

Apparently, the only game that will outsell Gears 3 this year is Modern Warfare 3.

Congratulations, Epic Games. Well deserved.

Congratz Epic. Well deserved.

Easily better than Gears 1 and 2! Can’t speak for Halo or COD!

Halo broke 1 million sales in the US in a month. not sure about worldwide, but I wouldn’t expect it to add too much.

Gears of War 2 sold 2 million in it’s first week, and breaking the 3 million unit mark by the end of it’s first month.

MW2 sold 4.7 million units it’s it’s first 24 hours on the shelf.

Black Ops sold 5.6 millions nits in it’s first 24 hours on the shelf.

Thanks for the info! Can’t lookup up much gaming info in my network.
That’s some performance for part 3.

Are those COD figures just 360 numbers? or cross-platform?

Very impressive! Too bad they’re now sellouts and charging 240-320 msp for weapon skins.

I’d say skyrim will also.

Nice mahor do we get NPD numbers this week ? and perhaps “whats coming to the marketplace”

I think you meant Battlefield 3.

Well, its the best Gears yet, especially the MP.  But CliffyB needs to remake Jazz Jackrabbit for XBLA next!  Come on, Cliffy!

It’s an amazing game and hasn’t left my Xbox tray since the midnight release. So much content in this game for the price. I’m hoping that this game finally dethroned Call of Duty at the top of the XBox Live activity for the week, simply because something needs to.

With more than 50 unlockable characters in game and another 30 weapon skins, Epic has given us more than enough unlockables. Do you use the original gunmetal weapon skins when playing, or ones that you’ve unlocked? I for one do not mind paying a little to customize an excellent game that I’m going to be playing for the next year. 

So don’t buy ‘em. Microtransactions are the name of the game nowadays, because they’re successful.

Be happy that these are only cosmetic skins and do not allow you to pay for an advantage in-game.

“Coming Soon to the Marketplace” is posted every other Tuesday, so we should be getting that on this coming Tuesday. And on Twitter Major said he’s working on a Top Live games list.

Yup that’s pretty much it. With 3-5 million people playing between now and the holiday, there will be a percentage of them wanting to distinguish their characters just a little bit.

Well they should have released all Gears Games from the beginning in Germany ^^
But stupid restrictions here didn’t let get it through =O

恭喜恭喜。

I remember back in the good days before Microsoft super greed gaming, when micro transactions were just simply in game unlockables, already in the cartridge. *sigh*

3 million noobs, GoW sucks lol

Call of Duty is also on three platforms opposed to one.
