Gears records "going down on September 25"

In an interview with CVG at the Develop conference in Brighton, Mark Rein admitted that his game was going to get pummelled beyond belief by the might of Halo 3:

"All those records we broke with Gears of War are going down on September 25," Rein told CVG, "We've had a nice nine, ten months of being the record holder, and now we're going to get our ass kicked. In a good way."

Rein is referring to the records that Halo 2 held prior to Gears' release. Being that Halo 2 was the most played game on Xbox Live for over 2 years. Gears' impressive gameplay quality crushed this great Xbox Live title, but Rein feels that it is fine to be outperformed by a 'third generation' Xbox 360 title.

CVG, however poses a good question to gamers abroad: Will Halo 3's inevitable record-breaking sales success be crushed by the multiplatform GTA IV a month later? (Gears of War, Halo 3, Industry, Xbox 360)
