I'll take you up on that bet Naz.

Well it might not hit 1 mil in 07, I'm willing to bet that by the end of January, Umbrella Chronicles will be over 1 million World Wide sales.

It should see pretty good sales in all three regions. I think the game has a lot going for it. It's not only got the RE franchise, but it's unique look at the whole of the RE backstory will entice a lot of previous fans of the series. As for IGN, they're last hands on seemed much more positive than those before it, and with the amount of change that seems to take place between play tests, it should be a fair bit better by the time it hits store shelves.

So, you want to take that bet?


I only bet on a sure thing, so no.  I'm not positive, but I just don't think it's likely to do as well as RE4.  Even with IGN's claims of recent improvement they still cited Link's Crossbow Training as a better game. That seems to suggest serious issues.  I'm not so sure about that game.
