Dead Rising Ships Over 500,000 In Two Weeks

Today Capcom announced Dead Rising, the company's first game for Xbox 360, has shipped more than 500,000 in the two weeks since its US launch date of August 8.

In preparation for the next-generation, in 2005 Capcom concentrated on creating titles for foreign markets while seeking to improve its marketing, sales, and business operations functions in North America. The company attributes Dead Rising's early success to these changes. For those keeping track of random statistics, Dead Rising is also the fastest selling next-generation title from a Japanese publisher.

Dead Rising is scheduled to release on September 8 in Europe and September 28 in Japan. IGN gave the game an 8.3.
