3.6m sold through is not a flop. Maybe if Capcom had made an absurd sales projection of something like 10m expected sell through it could easily be called a flop, but as it stands, RE6 will likely end up breaking the 5m mark eventually between discounted copies and the inevitable "Gold Edition" with all the DLC on disc.
Capcom has already squandered the reputation of the RE brand with Raccoon City, so I really don't see RE6 sales as further damaging the franchise, but it is pretty clear that the franchise should probably be taken in a better direction in the near future if they want to revitalize the brand.
Everyone keeps saying "return to the series' survival horror roots." Maybe someone with executive power at Capcom will actually listen.
