If you want to do research on this sort of thing you would do a search for "GoW" at the major gaming forums around the net and then take a sample size of, say, a few thousand posts from the past three years, selected at random.
Believe me, there are ways to do it, and you could even chart out the way things are changing over time.
And yes, sales will have a lot to do with the usage, because it means more people using a given acronym. Gears may win this fight just because it is so much bigger.
