Microsoft said it has sold more than 1 million copies of "Gears of War" in its first two weeks. We'll see if it has prompted sales of new Xbox 360s as well. In other news, Microsoft has stores stocked with its new HD-DVD movie player. I have one in the garage, but for some reason it stopped working. Microsoft also has its Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel and Xbox Live Vision Camera accessories on the market as well.
Microsoft still says it expects 10 million consoles to be sold by the end of the holidays. That means it will have shipped that many units from its factories to its distributors. Lastly, Microsoft is now allowing movie and TV show downloads on Xbox Live. You pay for the shows in points, but HDTV shows sell for the equivalent of $3, while standard TV shows are $2. HD new release movies are $6, and standard new release movies are $4. There's a rumor that the company will offer a larger hard-disk drive soon, but the company hasn't confirmed that yet.
