Dead Rising 2 ships 2 million globally

Sweet! Glad to see a game other than a widely-marketed military shooter or an overdone sports franchise or a Nintendoesque family game make it big! Big enough, at least.

The game was great fun, no surprise it sold well

Hurry up and release Case West dlc.

@deathstream Tell that to Atari and the 4 million copies of ET buried in the desert.

the game is col but we need a coop mode like the red dead redemption zombie mode or something like this

@misterstatus Shipping numbers are something a publisher knows already. Sales numbers are much more difficult to gather. You are right about shipping numbers not necessarily reflecting units sold, but they do give valuable information. If Capcom has shipped 2 million copies, we can reasonably infer that it will sell well over a million with 2 million likely.

I love Dead Rising 2!

I love the Dead Rising games and Capcom is one of my favorite game companies, but whenever I see a company releasing shipping numbers instead of sales numbers, I can't help but wonder why. Who cares how many copies of a game you've shipped. It's the actual sales numbers that count, not how many copies are sitting in boxes in the store's back room.

Two mill? Not too bad, still less than half the sales of Reach though. And it's a multi-plat.

This game is so much fun and it's designed for multiple playthroughs which was a nice touch. I picked up the Zombrex Edition and have no regrets whatsoever. Chuck Greene is badass.

Not too shabby

At least its safe to say it won't be the last time we hear of dead rising not with such a good amount of sales for the sequel.

i still want to get this game. but im sure those first 2 million shipped will still be there when dr2 gets a price drop. so im in no hurry to go out and buy it.

@Barighm but for the PC and ps3 gamers its new game we don't play the first one

Fun, but I didn't really feel like the game made any significant improvements where they were needed: psychos are still cheap and no fun to fight, zombie bashing gets old after awhile, and overall it's just the first game with a couple new options that aren't really necessary, plus cutting out the tutortial and epilogue sequences and making them DLC really bugs me. I'm not saying the game is bad, it's just more of the same.

this game deserve more than that i buy it on PC everyone should try it its great
