The unknown Gears 1, without any earlier games,on a much smaller userbase, sold 1 million in 2 weeks. Source.
The sequel and hotly anticipated FPS, on a muchlarger userbase than Gears 1, sold 1 million in 1 MONTH and A HALF.

Tell me, what's better? To sell 1 million copies in 2 weeks on a SMALL userbase when you are UNKNOWN,
or to sell 1 million copies in ONE and a HALF month with a much BIGGER userbase when you're a HOTLY anticipated sequel?

Fact: Gears 1 was the first game in an entirely new series - nothing established.
Gears 1 was released when there were much fewer 360 than there are PS3 now.
Gears 1 STILL managed to sell faster than the HUGELY anticipated PS3 FPS sequel.

Oh, and don't come with "you play sales lol rofl", we also know that the system with the most A, AA and AAA games is 360. But now, what do you think of Killzon 2 sales vs Gears 1 ?
