Epic announced that Gears of War 3 has surpassed 1 million pre-orders, which is the fastest ever in the Xbox 360’s history. Looks like the beta isn’t just going to help Epic make a better game, but it is also going to help them sell more copies. As a big fan of Gears, this is really exciting to see. There’s a bunch of stats after the break!
