@zeross: Why "lol"? 10% error margin is pretty good.

vg chartz sales: 3,3 million with a week in less .

I think ioi did very good on gears 2 numbers. Lets think such a huge game coming out all over the world at the same time and talking about huge numbers in a short period of time all of which makes it very hard to track and to get within 10% pritty cool.

I thought it was Gears of War 1 who was overtracked?

@zeross: I can't open the article, does it say specifically what week those sales are for?

Either way, Vgchartz didn't do bad.

Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that Gears of War 2 is closing in on 3 million sales.

“I think they’re pushing 3 [million],” said the exec, speaking in the latest Major Nelson podcast.

“Maybe [Epic VP] Mark Rein has a more up to date number.”
