Success Dead Rising: more 360 games from Capcom?

In contrast with the poor welcome of the X360 in Japan, at the moment the console is pretty successful in Europe and especially America. Also good news for Microsoft, but especially for Capcom, is that Dead Rising is expected to be sold 800.000 times while the original estimations for the game were only 450.000 pieces.

According to analysts, this probably means that putting online a good demo before the release of the game is a very effective way to create more demand (as in duh!).

According to analysts at NikkoCitiGroup, this signals not only a strong demand for Dead Rising, it also shows potential success for the marketing tactic of downloadable demos via Xbox Live as well as positive reforms at Capcom's US division.

Analysts further speculate that we'll see more PLAYSTATION 3 exclusives (such as Devil May Cry 4 and Monster Hunter) come to the Xbox 360—at least in the United States and Canada. That's BAD news for Sony.

Besides that, they speculate that because of the big success Capcom will also release PS3 exclusives Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry 4 on the Xbox360. But we'll better wait for confirmation about that first!

Yep, the demo sold me. Before the demo I had zero interest in the game.

I have played the demo to death and cant wait to get my grubby little mits on the real deal but have wanted it since the second i read about it being the massive zombie film fan that i am.i do agree though that putting up a demo for people to download and play as much as they want to decide if they like it or not is a great idea and even more so since most games mags with disc's these days are a rip off and usually crap.Shame the same cant be said for ninety nine nights,they should of not put that demo up if they wanted to sell any LOL.
