In October 2008, Electronic Arts introduced the world to a new action horror IP in Dead Space. The game was a critical darling, earning a Metacritic of 89, and eventually the title became a commercial success too, racking up 2 million in sales by last August. Now Dead Space 2 looks to be building on that success.

The sequel is faring slightly better with reviewers, garnering a 91 on Metacritic, and according to channel checks from Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia, Dead Space 2 is "significantly outselling" the original game. The game just hit stores on January 25, and sales data is not yet available, but it's encouraging to see EA's new IP blossoming into a genuinely successful franchise with the second iteration.

Although Dead Space didn't quite meet expectations for EA, the publisher set out to really up the ante with the sequel, and thus far it appears to be paying dividends.

Priceless

Got the dead space collectors edition  with the gun. YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaA. I hope this game sells big.

everyone go pick up this game. it is worth every penny.

Games a blast! love it, hate it (freaks me out too much,) and addicted to it (gameplay is solid and it's just amazing.) I agree it was worth every penny, and with the addition of Extraction, it is a steal of a deal.

I perdict 4 million on HD consoles.

I hope so. It deserves the sales.

 I will put a prediction of 5 million, just off word of mouth and repeat buyers of the first dead space.

In multi-player it is hard as hell to win as a human.

Incredible game and VERY just sales.  Personally I would say the best and tightest controls in the history of the horror genre. 

Hope it sells at least 3 million.

Shows how much a brand can do for a game, Dead Space 1 was more fresh and more scary. Dead Space 2 feels a bit repetitive. Don't get me wrong its a great game, it just didn't have the same impact on me as the first, still great though. Dead Space 1 deserved more sales, this game probably get the sales it deserves. Also this is probably the first multi plat i bought for the PS3 in like forever and i even have Extraction on Wii.
