Gears Of War 2 Sells Over 2 Million On Debut Day

By Levi Thornton | November 9, 2008

This should make the guys in the suits happy:

Using the aforementioned data, Gears of War 2 looks to have debuted to midnight and Friday sales of 1,400,000 units in North America, and 700,000 units in ‘Others’ territories. This would represent about two thirds of Halo 3’s massive debut, which wound up with 3.8 million units sold it’s first week on the market.

Can I assume that Gears Of War 3 confirmed already? At any rate this game deserve that much buying hype. All I have done this weekend is play Gears Of War 2. The moment I walk into 711 and I realize I was buying a video game in a convenient store at 12:01 AM that this game will do very well. Readers, does Gears 2 deserve the buying hype?
