Microsoft has proudly boasted the sales figures of Gears of War 3, acknowledging that the final game in the trilogy has sold 3 million copies worldwide during its first week. This means that Gears 3 has sold 150% better than Gears 2 did during its first week back in 2008, when it only sold 2 million copies. The Gears of War franchise in its entirety has made over $1 billion in sales since the release of Gears of War.
