I don't think Epic dropped the ball here. It wasn't marketed like a mainline title and wasn't supposed to be treated like one. Though 1 million is substantially lower than the 2-2.5mill I once thought it would achieve, I think it's naive for anyone to have expected Gears 1-3 style figures.

Come Gears 4, the sales of this game will matter very little.

MS seems to think differently

OT I dont think the world wanted another Gears, IMHO 4 entries in a series in one gen on one console is a bit overkill, and it was a prequel.

Bulletstorm, dont know what the hell happened their imagine how much worst it would have dont WITHOUT the Gears 3 beta

While I'm not at all disagreeing with you, of the top 10 Xbox360 games sold ever 5 of them have the name call of duty in their title. as well as those there are 5 more CoD games on the machine. Some games can get away with it, Gears just wasn't one of those games, I think everyone had cried out enough manly tears in Gears2/3

COD is the exception, not the rule, but i agree. i dont know how COD does it. But few games can and Gears is not one of them. Never was even close.

COD does it because it's like Guitar Hero. When something in the US is the "it" thing, or the latest trend, it gets consumed regardless of quality. In the US, being a part of the latest trend and being cool is of the highest priority. COD was that "thing". But like all trends, it'll die and move on to something else.
