3 million units of Gears of War sold

The XBox 360 number one tittle has reached the mark of 3 million copies sold in the time of 10 weeks.

It started being the best-seller of December in any platform, sold 1 million copies before we could blink, and it has now reached the 3 million cypher which puts this game directly in the list of big games like other franchises (see Zelda, Halo, Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy):

"Like Blockbuster titles from Microsoft's Halo franchise and the Grand Theft Auto and Zelda franchises, Gears of War is tracking to be one of the best-selling videogames of all time and has established itself as the most successful new IP of the next-generation," said Microsoft marketing VP Jeff Bell.
