Basically the game sold something like this:

Day one 2 million (we were 100k high on our initial projections)
Day 2 150k
Day 3 120k

And so on through the week - it has been doing about 90-100k per day this week so should be on for some strong week 2 sales (600-800k depends on how it bounces for the weekend).

"More than 2 million" doesn't mean 2 million - it means anything from 2 to about 2.3 i guess where it then starts to become "almost 2.5 million" - press stuff like this tends to work in half million steps...

Zenfoldor says:

Woot. Game sells 600k week 2, for the epic win.

I noticed, ioi>you

You do realize that I predicted low on purpose, so I can claim these above average numbers as an epic win?

I said as much, in a later post. :P

ioi > me at with numbers and on this site, certainly.

However, irl kirby, I eat babies.

Ah, okay, well then going along with that I predict 1 copy sold in the "2nd week", the copy I bought. Hopefully sales exceed my expectations.

For that, I have this simple equasion:

Geow2's week2/2=KZ2's week1+R2's week1

And they said we'd never have to use this stuff in the real world!
Sony fans, please don't hate me! I was just trying to be cute!!

a game like gears of war will always sell the most on its 1st week, after that it wont sell much. i dont know why people are expecting this to reach halo 3 like numbers. it should make it to 5 million easily but not 8 million. it just isnt going to sell another 6 million.

Halo numbers span up to 8 Million. Gears 2 is expected to sell 5-6 Million units. Gears 2 will most likely reach 6 million somewhere near february/march.

Can't you see though STAGE that everyone who has ever wanted Gears 2 has already bought it, just as anyone who wanted Gears 2 already had a 360? ...

Not true. not even close to 1/4 of the of the installed base of the 360 has purchased Gears 2. You are so incorrect you don't even understand. Gears is expected to sell 5-6 Million unit and if Epic is lucky...more.

Sometimes I think my sarcasm is not as obvious as I think it is. Oh well.

Gears 2 is definitively a beast sales wise - it will be noted for years to come as "a" bar to compare against. It may not be THE bar, but it will be up there.

You've got to make it sound believable or it won't work.
