Upon its release last August, Dead Rising became the fastest selling Xbox 360 title ever, and Capcom now says the franchise is set to become an on-going series.

It becomes the 41st Capcom game to break the one million barrier.

Dead Rising’s triumph is not only a feather in the cap for the publisher’s drive to harvest new IP, but it also signifies a successful beginning to what Capcom has previously described as its new more international-orientated portfolio.

Earlier this week Capcom’s head of European operations Mark Beaumont told Next Generation that he expects Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, which arrives at UK retail tomorrow, will outsell Dead Rising.
