Epic Games, epic sales: Gears of War 2 sells 2 million units in three days |
Ó
Oh, CliffyB must be quite happy today. (Understatement!) The numbers are in, folks: over its launch weekend, Gears of War 2 has managed to sell two million copies worldwide! Now how's that for a Locust invasion, eh?
Here's Cliff Bleszinski commenting on the launch of his baby, via press release:
We were so excited to launch ‘Gears of War 2’ on the same day all around the world, something virtually unheard of in the games business. We wanted our fans, no matter where they live, to have a shared experience on day one, and that’s exactly what’s happened.
Meanwhile, if you want some more numbers (by the millions, mind), here's the sich - all numbers were taken from GoW2's opening weekend - Friday to Sunday:
- 2 million units sold worldwide
- over 1.5 million people logged into XBL to play
- about 15 million gameplay hours among all users
- 19 million Achievements unlocked (collectively)
- GoW2 sets new record for most concurrent XBL players

I actually like this game. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I really disliked the original Gears of War despite being a fan of EPIC since like 1995 (Jazz Jackrabbit and One Must Fall 2097 for DOS!!!!) and constantly put it down. I enjoy everything about GoW2, from the campaign and multi-player to the AI and graphics
I feel the same dam way. It got to a point where i hated the first gears...like despised it...idk y. But i decided to give gears 2 a shot and im finally impressed it seems like they have fixed alot in the game...for ex. the plot line lol but overall just a great improvement
I love this game, I picked it up on the 9th and have been playing it along with Fallout 3.
The graphics are amazing, the story is amazing (or at least an improvement), and the gameplay is just as fun if not better.
