With one million pre-orders for Gears of War 3 worldwide, Microsoft and Epic Games are calling it the “fastest pre-ordered Xbox-exclusive title to reach this milestone in the history of the platform.” What a lovely and specifically worded accomplishment!
And while we’re talking about how into Gears 3 people are, let’s look at some figures from the recent beta.
- 1.29 million people participated in the beta
- 249 years worth of matches played
- More than 927 million kills recorded
- Nearly 23 BILLION bullets fired
- 435,000 people earned the beta-exclusive Thrashball Cole skin to use in the retail game
You had to complete, what, 60 matches at minimum to unlock Thrashball Cole for retail? I didn’t think it was possible to feel lazy about playing videogames, but there you go.
