Boom.
I'd bet the DR series has a much higher boss per game ratio: http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Psychopath.

Those are interesting numbers. Is that including handheld, mobile, and digital distribution sales?

Wonder if he got them from here:

Resident Evil doubles Megaman. I guess that's why they only care about zombies.

Those incredible movies probably helped.

It does. The Mega Man stats are now out of date by 5 years or so, but there also haven't been a ton of new games to dramatically change those numbers.

They'll probably kill Dead Rising soon. They were quick to slice Onimusha despite also being one of the highest grossing titles for awhile there. I always thought it was weird that series just suddenly stopped. Replayed all of them last year and 3 was still a lot of fun.
