Gears of War fully geared up for the win

goes for the winGears of War sure seems to have taken next-gen gaming by storm. And why not? After all that hype from Microsoft and Epic, it’s just but right that they prove those weren’t all fluff.

Garnering multiple awards, even being the top game of the year for some, along with raving reviews, GoW proves why it is the first real next-gen game. USA Today reports that since its release on November 12, there has been an increase in the sales of the Xbox 360. This goes to show that the title being an exclusive to Microsoft does work wonders for the console.

John Davison, editorial director of Ziff Davis Media’s game group is confident about this link. He says, “It’s no doubt sold a lot of Xbox 360s and has made existing 360 owners feel very good about their investment.”

With more than one million copies sold in the U.S., and an estimated two million copies worldwide, there’s little doubt that it is indeed the best-selling Xbox 360 game. Says Geoff Keighly of Spike TV‘s “Game Head”, “It’s beautiful, engrossing and features very polished gameplay. It’s the kind of game you want to show off to the friends. I dare say it’s one of the first true next-generation games on the market.”

In November, the month GoW was released, the Xbox 360’s sales rose from about 511,000 to 3.4 million. That’s saying a lot.
