While this is the dumbest thread ever (Even if it's in jest).

GoW might be an acronym for Gears of War if you are currently about 11-12 years old and really don't have an experience with the God of War franchise. Otherwise, primarily GoW refers to God of War since it came out first and is also a well-regarded franchise.

And as for people saying 'sales' somehow reflect the quality of the series... Get a grip.

God of War Metacritic - 94
God of War II Metacritic - 93
Gears of War Metacritic - 94
Gears of War II metacritic - 93

Both are good franchises. But simply God of War came first. Gears is an appropriate name for Gears of War.
