Kris Graft of EDGE is reporting that Gears of War 2 has passed three million in worldwide sales.
Launching
only four weeks ago, the sequel to the 5-million-selling megahit
reached the three-million mark six weeks quicker than the original.
Epic Games VP Mark Rein said in an e-mail, "Microsoft [the game's publisher] confirmed to me this afternoon that Gears of War 2 sell-through surpassed 3 million units as of last week."
This is certainly good news to GoW fans, hardcore gamers, and investors alike; when a game like GoW and its sequel can sell eight million combined it shows that the market will still support quality games in the male 18-35 demographic.
