Epic Games' blockbuster sequel nears next milestone.
Speaking on the latest Major Nelson podcast, Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer congratulated both Epic Games and Lionhead on the success of Gears of War 2 and Fable II.
Last month Microsoft announced that Fable II had sold 1.5 million units worldwide, making it the fastest-selling RPG on the Xbox 360. While official launch figures for Gears of War 2 stood at two million units, Spencer revealed to Major Nelson that the game is now "pushing three [million]".
The first Gears of War title took ten weeks to reach sales of three million units, and currently stands at over five million units worldwide.

The Wii is doing well also. But if you take a flagship game such as Super Mario Galaxy which was released around the same time as Halo 3 and Halo 3 has out sold Mario by a million copies. Even with the Wii take up.
(Wii Fit has sold 11 million units but i don't class this as a game)Last edited on Mon 8 December 2008 by Karlius

Fable 2 had over 1mil sales in its first week, I'm sure FM posted that somewhere around the forum. Wouldn't minding knowing what Gears 2 got for its first week out, so I can laugh at the Sony fanboys even though I do own a PS3 myself but still and I also own the 360. :P
