Dead Rising did 90k on 360, no?

I'm pretty sure Dead Rising 2 can surpass that.

Dead Rising had almost no competition and wasn't developed by gaijun.  And it only sold 60k pre-budget bundling.   DR2 will probably pass 100k across platforms, but not on PS3 alone.  The one to watch is Lost Planet 2 imo, I think that has a shot to be (comparably) huge on PS3.  

That was on the 360 in 2006. I think the market situation has changed enough to allow the game to do well.

No, I'm saying the only reason DR1 even did that well was it being an early 360 game.  It had little to no competition and a new, hungry (albeit tiny) userbase to sell to.  It was also the first AAA 3rd party game on the machine in Japan.  If DR1 released on 360 now, it wouldn't even sell half that.

DR2 is guaranteed to be Z-rated as well, which will be another strike against it.  I just don't think there's much room for a western made sandbox zombie game on the consoles in Japan.
