Publisher Deep Silver announced today that their zombie opus Dead Island has officially sold three million copies. The publisher had previously stated that Dead Island had shipped two million copies during its release month.

However, until now we didn’t know how many had actually sold. Not only did that initial allotment sell, but the game has obviously continued to sell well over the ensuing months. Selling, at the absolute least, another million copies since that first statement.

Dead Island publisher Deep Silver is holding a holiday celebration, giving away piles of loot including a collection of 10 classic zombie flicks on Blu-Ray; a PlayStation 3 with an airbrushed Dead Island design; a 46″ Bravia TV; and a week’s vacation for two plus custom painted Xbox 360. To enter, head on over to the dedicated competition mini-site, and prove your Dead Island knowledge by answering quizzes. Prizes will be awarded every day until December 25, so don’t forget to check back. Dead Island is available on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; a new piece of DLC released last week.
