GameDaily BIZ has learned that Gears of War 2 has passed the 4 million sales plateau in two months, doubling the pace of its predecessor.
Speaking exclusively to GameDaily BIZ, Gears of War 2 global product manager Guy Welch announced that the title sold over 4 million copies in its first two months on the market. This is double the pace of the original Gears of War, which sold 2 million during that period.
"The original Gears of War was the fastest-selling next-generation game of 2006, selling more than 2 million units worldwide that Holiday, and now well over 5 million copies sold to date," said Welch. "With Gears of War 2, the game has sold over 4 million units in the first two months, doubling the pace of the original."

~2.3 million US to date.
~1.7 rest of WW.
Looks to best the first one by a good bit at this rate. How much so who knows at this point. Perhaps a million or so depending on legs. Still shy as to where I thought it maybe at two months out.
Oh yea, Congratz Clifford and Company.
