Why are people saying it's because Resident Evil is a better game? I say this not because Gamerankings has DeadSpace as a full 10% higher on average, but because aside from reviews, how on earth would quality be a factor in a games first week sales? Considering the widespread complaints and concern about Darkside's swaying camera, I'd think that people would have a good reason to consider it a game of lesser quality before it's release.
It's pretty clear that the game just has a larger market on the Wii. There are over 2.5 million copies of previous RE games on the Wii, over 1 million of which belong to the game that Darkside Chronicles is a direct sequel to. There are no copies of Dead Space games on the Wii, and anyone who even likes the franchise is guaranteed to own one of the other consoles.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
