Why did RE: Darkside Chronicles outsell D. Space: Extraction?

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles is coming after the previous Resident Evil on rails shooter sold almost 1.5M on the Wii.

I think you're overstating things. Last I'd heard, Capcom had only shipped 1.1 million copies, and the shipment before that had only amounted to 50,000.

 

In any case, I hazard to guess it's name recognition and better gameplay.

Then VGChartz needs to adjust I guess. I got all my numbers from here.
