According to various sources over 4.5 million copies of MGS4 have been sold worldwide (to retail) by the end of 2008, so in about half a year on the market. According to sources Gears of War sold less in an equal timeframe, some sources though state the game has now gone beyond 5 million copies, but that probably includes the PC version.

Also CliffyB mentioned Gears was up to the point to having sold over 4.5 million copies (probably shipped and including PC sales, near the end of 2008) at a time when VGChartz already had the game topping 5 million user sales for just the 360.

Again with the time frame nonsense, you just ps3 fanboys pick any insignificant cranny u can find dont you. Unless in extreme cases, time frame, especially for software sales doesn't matter squat. It's called legs. Don't forget the fact that metal gear solid 4 was bundled, as are many "strong" exclusives on the ps3. I wonder why sony feels the need to bundle them...hmm...spme things we'll just neeverr know.

 

MikeB are you talking about the original Gears or Gears 2?  Gears 2 doesn't have a PC version, that's why I ask.  If you mean Gears 1, then why are you even making a comparison?  It makes MGS4 look really bad to be outsold by a new IP.
