Dead Space 2x As Many Units Sold As the First

Posted on Wednesday, February 2 @ 14:55:51 Eastern by danielrbischoff

Woah! I guess Isaac Clarke's latest adventure really is more action packed. The pace just flies by, doesn't it?

EA announced that units of the game are flying off the shelves as well, even outpacing the original Dead Space. Just how much faster is Dead Space 2 selling? For every one necromorph limb lopped off in the original Dead Space, the sequel takes two.

EA's Chief Operating Officer John Schappert told investors today that Dead Space 2 inches closer and closer to "two million units sold." Hopefully that'll mean more Dead Space revenue.

Why? I have to say that I admire Visceral's ability to take the Dead Space universe across so many different pieces of media. All of those video, audio, and text logs in the main games certainly make me want to reach out into the comics, movies, and off-shoot games.

Where should Isaac go next? Dead Space in a theme park?

    @LinksOcarina: Yup, looks like publishers are learning it doesn't all have to fall in between September and November.
