Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games today confirmed that Gears of War has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide since its release six weeks ago, with one million copies sold in the U.S. alone. This makes Gears Of War the fastest selling next-gen title in 2006, as well as the fastest selling Xbox title to date.

"Gears of War clearly has won the battle for the title of the must-have game of the year," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Corp. "Its phenomenal success is one of many reasons why Xbox 360 is the ultimate place to get together with friends to play this holiday."

"We've always held high hopes for 'Gears of War,' but we never expected such an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and gamers all over the world," said Michael Capps, president, Epic Games. "I can't describe how stoked our team is right now. Our fans can absolutely count on Epic to keep delivering new gameplay through Xbox Live."

On Xbox Live more than 1 million unique gamers have played in 10 million online gameplay sessions and unlocked 7 million achievements. Also Xbox Live paid registrations per day have increased more than 50 percent since the game's launch.

This isn;t suprising to me at all. I am suprised at to how quickly it happened, but it iis amazing none the less.
