Microsoft Xbox360’s popular shooter Gears of War is eating up sales and Xbox Live usage records, spitting them out and looking for more to break. Since it’s release only a couple of months ago more people have played Gears of War than any other game at over two million. Even with Burger King’s alleged 2million in sales it’s still the top selling ‘real’ Xbox game title.

Records are not only breaking in total game sales but also on Xbox Live participation. According to Waterloo Ontario’s own Sandvine Incorporated, Xbox Live traffic has increased some 80 percent in North America. Among Sandvine’s statistics are over a million players, ten million game sessions and over seven million achievements unlocked on Microsoft’s record breaking game.

“We’ve always held high hopes for Gears of War, but we never expected such an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and gamers all over the world.” Says Michael Capps, president of Epic Games. “I can’t describe how stoked our team is right now. Our fans can absolutely count on Epic to keep delivering new gameplay through the Xbox Live.”
