Lost Planet 2 sold 510k on PS3 and 440k on 360. These numbers aren't great, espceially as the first sold 1.84 million on the 360 and 500k on the PS3. I don't think Dead Rising 2 is actually going to do much better.

I guarantee Dead Rising 2 will do MUCH better.

Why? Great reviews from major publications.

Dead Rising 2 also had a much better opening week in EMEAA than Lost Planet 2 did. I expect the same from NA.

I like Capcom a lot, and Dead Rising 2's numbers weren't bad for Europe, but I'm sure Capcom were hoping for better. It's a more common pattern on the HD consoles of a game having a huge opening then disappearing, it's less likely to see the legs that Nintendo games and massive franchises like COD have. Anyway, we'll see how the rest of the world embraces it.
