IF you check various website, you'll see UC get a huge cover, far greater than RE5 on which infos remain scarce. Beyond that, you're saying rail shooter don't perform well on console. Are you sure of that ? We might lack some recent datas but House of the Dead 2 on DC did 260k, in japan only. Time Crisis 300k in japan only. Beyond what might be considered as my biaised opinion, just ask yourself this : - If this genre is not really popular, will Namco invest in a new Time Crisis and guncon ? - If this genre is not really popular, why Konami would have shipped on retailers shelves more than 100 000 copies of UC (once again if the initial figure is real) for day one ? Because to me, it would be a proof that Konami has high expectations on this title, on this genre, and do not consider it as a mere "cash in". So 100k would not be that surprising. |
I think you mean Capcom?
