Deus Ex: Human Revolution Ships 2 Million Copies

Square Enix just sent in a press release in which they announce that Eidos Montreal’s prequel to Deus Ex, which has already received plenty of critical acclaim and already has a DLC scheduled for an October release, has shipped two million copies. As customary, we have no word on the actual sales numbers, but considering the game is first in the NPD chart with only 5 days of sales counted and seems to be going strong on Steam, early signs seem good for the title. Here’s the press release:
