January 17, 2007 - Today, Capcom announced that its two Xbox 360 opuses, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Dead Rising, have both sold over a million units worldwide. These remarkable sales place Capcom at the forefront of Japanese publishers currently producing games for the Xbox 360. Although the system may still be struggling in Japan, sales of these games certainly aren't. Following its December 21 Japanese launch and its subsequent European and North American launch on January 12, Lost Planet has already managed to ship one million units worldwide. Dead Rising has done the same since its release worldwide last summer.

Dead Rising is an action-horror game focusing on the horrifying tale of Frank West, a freelance photojournalist willing to risk everything in pursuit of the truth. After a zombie outbreak in the small Colorado town of Willamette, Frank seeks refuge in a local shopping mall only to have it overrun by the same zombies he had been trying to avoid. Frank must use anything and everything he can get his hands on to beat his way through the undead hordes as he struggles to unravel the mystery of their creation.

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition takes advantage of the Xbox 360's power to deliver an intense single and multiplayer experience. Players find themselves thrust into the middle of an intergalactic conflict on an alien world filled with hostile creatures and blisteringly severe weather conditions. Players must traverse vast snowy fields either on foot or in armored Vital Suits, as they battle their way through an epic quest.
 
The average game probably sells a lot less than that. It takes ~500,000 copies to make a profit from a class A title. A class B title, average, probably sells around ~100,000 copies. Madden need not apply since Madden is not your average game.
