Major Nelson : 2 million copies of Gears of War 2 that flew off the shelves over the weekend
VGC : 2.1 Million day 1
Day 1 is midnight launch and Friday (1 day).
Over the weekend is midnight launch, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (3 days). I am not sure whether Major Nelson consider Sunday as part of the weekend or not, but I think it included Sunday.
Do you still think that major Nelson backs VGC early predictions ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

RE: Gears of War sells 2 Million Unitsanother comment, kudos to microsoft for reinforcing their servers enough to handle the high activity i'm sure such a release with such sales would have brought to xbox live. from my experience, there wasn't a single hitch this past weekend.

I am ever sceptical of the Day one figures but that is the closest I have seen to support these numbers.
