"Gears of War" has gone triple platinum, reaching the 3 million-units-sold milestone in just 10 weeks on store shelves, ending 2006 as the top-selling game among all platforms during the month of December.

Since the downloadable content's release via Xbox Live Marketplace less than two weeks ago, the new maps have garnered an astounding 750,000 downloads. There have been more than 1.5 million total downloads of all "Gears of War" content currently available via Marketplace, including the maps, themes and video walkthrough, by gamers who can't get enough of Delta Squad and the Locust Horde.

Not just a gaming sensation, the acclaimed "Gears of War: Mad World" cinematic trailer was featured in Advertising Age's Book of Tens as one of the top creative concepts of 2006. With more than 2.4 million views of the trailer online, the campaign has inspired not only tremendous sales, but also a number of hilarious parody videos currently circulating around the Internet.

Hmm, perhaps we could keep you around as a pet bot. I think we'll call you Spambush... yes, I like that :lol:

Apparently GoW has sold out is some Japan stores, this might be a good thing for the 360 over there.

Gears of War has been released last week (January 18th) in Japan ... and it looks like it's off to a great start over there ... at least for an 'American-style FPS' on the 'still not so popular' Xbox360. GoW's 7th place (and 33212 copies sold) in last week's SW charts didn't beat Blue Dragon's first week (4th and 80348 copies sold) however.
From kotaku.com:

Here are the top ten for the week of January 15 through January 21.
1. .hack//G.U. Vol. 3 (PS2) - 136,790 / new
2. Wario: The Seven (DS) - 91,249 / new
3. Shining Force EXA (PS2) - 72,306 / new
4. Wii Sports (Wii) - 57,418 / 851,535
5. Wii Play (Wii) - 45,724 / 764,813
6. Dragon Shadow Spell (PS2) - 40,541 / new
