EA's Visceral Games studio has to be happy right now. According to EA's internal numbers, Dead Space 2 is outselling the original game by a two-to-one margin. Speaking in a conference call to discuss third-quarter results, EA Chief operating officer John Schappert said that nearly two million units of Dead Space 2 have shipped to retail in its first week of release. Of course "shipped" doesn't mean "sold to consumers" but it does mean that retailers are keen to stock the game for consumers to snap up. The original game took around eight months to make it past the one million units sales mark.
Developed by Visceral Games, Dead Space 2 continues to chronicle the horrific journey of Isaac Clarke, an engineer that managed to survive the challenges of the first game. Clarke finds himself in a more open environment called the Sprawl this time - a massive space station attached to one of Saturn's moons.
