Devil May Cry 4 shipments top two million

Lifetime shipments of the DMC franchise now more than nine million units.

Capcom has announced that Devil May Cry 4 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has now shipped over two million units worldwide, with the game still to launch on PC. The success of Devil May Cry 4 has boosted worldwide shipments of the entire franchise to more than nine million units.

Capcom notes that the key to its multiplatform success is the use of its MT Framework for its integrated development environment.

"As a result, we are able to develop such million-plus sellers as "Lost Planet" and "Dead Rising" for next-gen gaming consoles. And now with the success of "Devil May Cry 4", this strategy has again proven to be a very advantageous plan of action," explained a Capcom press release.

Devil May Cry 4 is one of the best action titles currently available on the next-gen platforms, scoring a very solid 8/10 on VideoGamer.com.
