Gears of War series sales hit 19 million

Gears of Wars is a great series however Uncharted blows it out of the water. Gears is one of the few games I miss from when I owned an Xbox. Mainly for the story mode. The story got kind of ruined in 2 though and they went with the cinematic approach that hurt the overall experience of games like Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3. I mean you had the epic Raam fight at the end of 1 the epic Radec fight at the end of KZ2, and the epic Lazarevic fight at the end of Uncharted 2. Then in their sequels the last fight was reduced to a on rails shooter or cinematic fist fight. 

Comapred to the 220 Million HALO 4 got.  Wow..that's a HIT.  Even with all the DLC sold.

I love gears of war and Halo. COD is a pointless game that just keeps making more of the same BS.  Just wish Gears of war had more of a hardcore fanbase. At max i see only 15k people on gow3 but when halo 3 was running on its last leg it still had numbers when people are playing the game. Congrats Gears its well deserved for a genre that doesnt get that much love

Best shooter series of all-time. 

still need to get 3...

The marketing departments responsible deserve an award...............

Gears of war 1 FTW

Without doubt one of the most gritty and purely visceral TPS experiences to-date. Well deserved in my book.

Although some could argue about it being 'Duck-Pop-Shoot', and that its just full of 'Meat-Head' characters, what lies deeper within are great and dare i say very challenging SP & MP components.

Its slick, challenging and very and very addictive, especially when playing against and with Friends.

I especially enjoy playing with a group of freinds whilst in Party Chat, with freinds on both sides, listening to the 'Ooos' and 'Ahhhssssss' having being sliced in half, or having their heads removed by a well placed and very satisfying Longshot.

Simply great fun, nuff said!

what about the pc version???

 @franzito I don't even know what your saying right now!? Gears has always been a 3rd person shooter, so......???

Yet another statement that FPS sells like bananas nowadays

lets see 19mil form 3 games thats like 6mil+ per game not too shabby Gears not too shabby, now if only MS had more exclusives with the Gears/Halo cliber life would be so much better

19 mil for three games on one console? Not bad at all. I just wonder how much higher it would be if it were for PS3 and such.

I never understand whats so good about Gears. The whole game was duck, pop up and shoot, take same damage, duck again. Guess its not my cup of tea.

nice job epic...hope gears is still succesfull without cliffy

another article about sales. *sigh..... god I can't wait until next E3.

Halo series is the most profit game ...

But for me gears , alan wake and fable are a must buy also

its funny to see that a whole series, as big of a name as it is, can only sell 19 million from 3 games together when gta v is predicited to sell 25 million. thats just one game. dont get me wrong though, gears is awesome 

What a coincidence. I JUST bought Gears 1.

well this developer deserves it, i have paid for their games series 1 through 3, bought them for my wee brother, and well yeah well done guys, please dont allow corporate greed come to your offices !!!

I never owned an Xbox 360 but I did play the original Gears of War on PC (the others were never released on that format). Just from that first game I could tell it was going to be a fun game series that deserves to do well.

This is literally one of the only reasons I am buying a new xbox on the 9th(my brithday). I'll  be getting the Halo 4 SE. By the way Halo 4 is amazing. Anyways, Gears of War holds a very special place in my heart as game. It was the first game I was addicted to. It was a way to escape the pain I experienced when my mother died. I played it everyday for about a year and half. It might sound unhealthy, but it really helped me cope. The experiences I had with old friends and new friends over Xbox playing that game will never be forgotten.

I read the headline fast and I thought it said "Guild Wars" instead of "Gears of War" and I was like DAMNNNNNNNNNN

I have both PS3 and Xbox and if you have not played Uncharted or Gears of War you really are missing out on the best this gen has to offer.  Next gen is right around the corner, do yourself a favor and get these games before their graphics become outdated and unbearable.

The best serie ever, a must buy 

Can´t wait for new gears

hope theres also Alan Wake 2 and 3 

thanks 

Not a big shooter fan, but Gears is one of the best shooters ever. It basically put Xbox 360 on the map, since Halo/FPS is not my favorite cup of tea.

My favorite series on xbox but man, those updates really break the game one patch at a time.

Good thing they aren't using Kinect.

is it just me or is everything moving super fast compared to gears3?

Am I the only one who sees the girl in the video thumbnail wearing a violet bra ?
