Expected more for RE 7.It really deserves much more, its such an excellent game(still playing through it).

Other than that, its a normal week



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

After the reviews started to pour in I was expecting close to 250k at retail alone. 200k with digital sales, its not terrible. Maybe it will leg it out to 400k+. Never the less, western sales will make or brake it.

Don't worry guys, Uta no Prince Sama did okay, which makes up for Resi VII doing bad! :(

Ha! Ya no way you spin those resident evil numbers in Japan, they are just bad. Just barely beating out spinoff title.

Goddamn that's bad for Resident Evil. I thought it would be 200k at the lowest.

but it already is over 200k (with digital)

200k lowest at retail if it isn't clear.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Well at least it beat RE4! ;..;



So with digital RE is 200k+. Not bad for a new IP.  I expected 50k more though. 

 

Here is the updated ps3 vs PS4 comparison from Hiska-san. It continues to show positive growth.  The only console up gen over gen.  It will get to 4.5m first although the race to 5m is a challenge. 



FYI, if we're counting Resident Evil as a "new IP", it's actually not the biggest launch for a new IP this gen on Sony consoles:

01./00. [PSV] Freedom Wars <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2014.06.26} (¥6.264) - 188.888 / NEW <79,73%>

01./00. [PS4] Resident Evil 7: biohazard # <ADV> (Capcom) {2017.01.26} (¥7.990) - 187.306 / NEW 

And Freedom Wars got canned after the first entry. Olol.

Besides one user, no one actually remotely considers it a new IP (which is still the biggest frivolous thing said on this site). It is like this is the first time a company tried to something unique with a mainline franchise before. 

Anyways Kresnik, anything big on Vita's horison, or is this the swansong year of the Vita.
