I base this on the fact that it's borrowing several themes from western games and the land of the rising sun "ain't having that."

Thoughts?

RE5 can get close to Code Veronica (400k) between both the X360 and PS3 versions. It'll be close either way, but it's possible for it to still beat out RE:CV which is the worst selling main-line Resident Evil.

The west is a totally different story. I think it'll be one of the biggest ever made....Will do great on the X360 in North America (where I think that it could sell 2m units alone)

 

You think it can do 2 million on the 360 in the US alone?

So that's around 3 million PS30 US = around 5 million total sales worldwide? I think that's overly positive. I might be wrong, but RE4 sold 4.3 (close to 6 million with the Wii version) million on a combined userbase of some 100 million consoles, plus was reviewed amazingly well.
