Microsoft and developer Epic Games today confirmed the release date for what many consider to be the most anticipated Xbox 360 title this holiday season, Gears of War - the Xbox 360 exclusive tactical action shooter will ship to North American retail outlets on November 12, 2006.

Seen by many and Microsoft's primary weapon to draw attention away from Sony's launch of the PlayStation 3, it does not seem as a coincidence that the game ships just five days prior to the new Sony console's launch on November 17, helping to deflect a little publicity onto the Xbox 360 along the way.
