In what comes as a surprise to absolutely no one, Gears of War 2 for Xbox 360 has sold over 2 million copies worldwide in it’s first week on store shelves. No surprise because, outside of perhaps Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 has been one of the most anticipated Xbox 360 games building up to it’s release, and the original Gears of War was a massive hit.

About the game
The gears of war continue to turn as Marcus Fenix and his squad of Cogs go back into action in the sequel to Microsoft and developer Epic Games’ blockbuster action title. Gears of War 2 continues the story of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad, locked in an increasingly desperate battle against the nightmarish Locust Horde for the survival of humanity. The game promises to be an epic saga of survival, loss, and retribution. Just as Gears of War set the standard for high-definition visuals, Gears of War 2 raises the bar even further with the amazing technological advances of Unreal Engine 3, delivering a bigger, badder, and more intense experience as the story continues.
Here are a few interesting numbers that Microsoft released:
* over 1.5 million players had their stats tracked by Xbox Live over the weekend as they played Gears of War 2
* Those 1.5 million played a combined 15 million hours worth of the game.
* Over 19 million worth of Gears of War 2 achievements have been unlocked!
Just for fun, here’s a very cool “Death Montage” video from Gears of War 2.
