Dead Rising 3 has shipped 1 million copies

Capcom has announced that its Xbox One exclusive Dead Rising 3 has shipped one million copies since its launch at the end of November.

The period for the figure runs between the Xbox One's launch on November 22 to December 20, and Capcom adds that the title has been played for a cumulative total of 14 million hours worldwide.

Capcom expects the game to sell 1.2 million copies before the end of March 2014, which seems likely in the wake of the current sales tally.

Earlier this week Capcom released a 13GB update for the game, which updated the open-world zombie squelcher to prepare it for its first chunk of DLC: Operation Broken Eagle.

Microsoft recently said that the Xbox One has now sold 3 million units worldwide.
