Dead Island Ships 3 Million Copies

Global sell-in numbers for Dead Island have now reached 3 million units since launch.

Publisher Deep Silver previously announced the game shipped 2 million copies worldwide to retailers in its launch month this past September. They did not provide a sell-through number, however.

"Dead Island has sold very, very well over the holiday season and we are thrilled that it has sustained a robust level of sell-through since launch in September," Aubrey Norris, Manager of Marketing & PR for Deep Silver told Game Informer.

  • good for them.

  • I dont think I have ever had this much fun with a zombie game.
  • If only the game lived up to the trailer, than it would be deserving of those 3M copies. What's with all these bad games selling so well? Sniper Ghost Warrior is another one!
  • Who has that thang that goes bump in the night?
  • & a superb game it is.

    I have a blast hacking away with my friends.

  • Too bad that game isn't good.
  • Good for them, I wish I could get this game
  • It's no wonder as this easily is one of the most fun times I've had with a video game. Kudos to Techland and Deep Silver.
  • i think im going to play this again now

  • I already have this game. Its fun.

  • I forgot I had this game!  I need to play it after I beat Skyrim, Rage, Crysis 2, Dark Souls, Mass Effect 2, and Bastion.  Way too many good games, and not enough time (or money)!

  • This game is still on my ever growing backlog.

  • I liked this game for about a week, but I thought it got kind of repetitive. It's pretty cool though.
  • That isnt bad i loved that game and i hope the ones who bought it to liked it

  • This is great! Dead Island is the best Zombie game aside from resident evil 4 I think. And for being their first game they did really well.
  • Sweet

  • I bought it for five dollars.

  • This game is a bug-ridden knockoff clone of Fallout 3 mixed with dead rising. Sorry but I played this game and it's weak sauce.
  • Mod
    Very cool! Glad to see Dead Island doing well. Definitely one of the games I've had the most fun with this year.
  • Good for them!
