I said it in another thread, but Wii owners seem to be rejecting lightgunners out of principle at this point. I expect Capcom and cavia to go full 3rd person shooter next round anyway though, but this probably just cements that.

I agree with you mostly. But looking at Cabela's Big Game Hunter it seems the genre can still sell quite well- also the new Nerf is showing some great legs as well. Now of course these games are casual, but so is RE to some extent. What I mean by that is it has a lot of crossover similar to Halo or Mario. Again I think the curious part is how little the branding did to move this game. Essentially in its 3rd week one of the biggest gaming brands is barely ahead of what is essentially a generic shooter to most people who are unfamiliar with the Dead Space brand.

I guess I thought like Sonic games RE would sell well not matter what.
