It’s been announced that last year’s blockbuster of blockbusters, Gears of War 2, has sold over 4 million copies during its first two months on the market.

This number is suitably impressive by itself, but is doubly impressive considering the original Gears of War ‘only’ sold 2 million copies during the same period of its life. Gears of War 2 global product manager Guy Welch said:

“The original Gears of War was the fastest-selling next-generation game of 2006, selling more than 2 million units worldwide that Holiday, and now well over 5 million copies sold to date. With Gears of War 2, the game has sold over 4 million units in the first two months, doubling the pace of the original.” Incredible.
