810k. Do some research before you make those kinds of assumptions.

As for Gears 1 doing so well because Epic made it, no. That is not valid, because their other games don't sell multiplatinum. It was marketing. You saw ads of Gears for weeks.

 

Gears1 did well because the game was an amazing game and at the time there wasn't much else to play on the 360, it was the game to have.

Its still an awsome game now, you can advertise the hell out of crap but it still won't sell.

 

1. I didn't claim the game wasn't that good. I just claimed its good sales were due to good marketing.

2. Not always, but marketing can sell crap. Heard of 50 Cent Bulletproof? Marketing and brand name sold it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
