Gears Of War 3 sold more than three million copies worldwide in its first week on sale, publisher Microsoft has announced.
The game has already grossed more than any other release this year, and the series has become the first Xbox 360 exclusive franchise to gross more than a billion dollars.
Microsoft VP Phil Spencer said: "Gears Of War was the first killer app for Xbox 360, and the series has continued to contribute directly to the overall success of the platform ever since.
"Gears Of War 3 kicked off the biggest Christmas period in Xbox history, setting the standard for the kind of amazing, action-packed experiences gamers should expect on Xbox 360 this year."

3Can't wait to see what Epic do next. It can only get better. :)
Sums up the type of kegger-swilling brosefs that form the main audience of video games these days. I'd rather catch AIDS than have this on my shelf.
I'll stick to my recently purchased Ico / SotC boxset thanks.
And what is wrong with Gears of War?
