Launched last week to a string of positive reviews, Dead Space 2 shipments are nearing two million units, EA said during an overnight investor call.

John Schappert, chief operating officer said: “Last week, we released Dead Space 2 from our Visceral Studio. The game launched with a 91 rating, and is approaching 2 million units sold in, with double the sell-through of the original Dead Space.”

Dead Space 2 is out now for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
