Update: As was pointed out, it has sold 300k+ downloads, not physical copies (since it's not available physically). Although technically, it IS a digital copy. Bah. Whatever.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has received a ton of glowing reviews (as evidenced by our recent review round up). The combination of its low price, long gameplay length, and the utter joy of killing zombies have helped it sell over 300 thousand copies downloads in its first week, according to website GamerBytes.

Destructoid's Jordan Devore had this to say:

"I can only speak for myself here, but the pricing was right, the content was both worthwhile and substantial enough, and I went from "I'll probably pass on Dead Rising 2" to "GIMME DR2, NOW!" after playing Case Zero. Mission accomplished, Capcom."

Please note that these are NOT official numbers, but an estimate from website GamerBytes.
