Speaking at Games For Change (http://gamesforchange.org/festival2011/speakers/gabe-newell/) in New York City (right now), Valve's Gabe Newell casually noted that Portal 2 (http://joystiq.com/game/portal-2) has sold 3 million copies since its release on April 18.
He didn't specify platforms, as it was an incidental reference and not a press release -- but he's probably referring to all platforms (PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PS3).
Since Newell is one of the only people on Earth with access to Steam sales data, that 3 million number is likely to be one of the most accurate estimates of Portal 2's sales we'll ever see. For comparison, the first Portal had sold four million copies (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/20/portal-1-has-sold-four-million-excluding-steam-sales/) as of Portal 2's launch -- though that number doesn't take Steam into account.
