Gears of War 3 hit three million sales this week making it the top selling video game for 2011. The series finale has been monster success and pushed the franchise to over a billion dollars in life time sales. This is something very few franchises can claim to have done and they definitely deserve it. GoW3 is also the first Xbox 360 exclusive title to achieve this prestigious claim and has clearly been a huge factor to the success of the platform. GoW3 crushed all the other games of 2011 in just one week from its launch and will probably continue to sell well through the holiday season. With things like new multiplayer modes and dedicated servers not to mention the always epic campaign mode the title backed up its hype bringing blood splattering awesomeness to many a Xbox 360.
