Only one month after Gears of War 2 hit store shelves, the action title has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.
"Microsoft confirmed to me this afternoon that Gears of War 2 sell-through surpassed 3 million units as of last week," Rein recently told Eurogamer.
As the original Gears of War spent 10 weeks on store shelves before reaching the 3 million mark, it's easy to see Rein's announcement as definitive proof that Gears 2 is a much larger blockbuster than the original, but it's important to remember that the original was a new, untested franchise.
It's always easier to sell people a familiar sequel than a brand new gaming experience.
