Madden was the difference there. Madden did much better on the 360 and PS2 than the Wii, PS3, or anything else. EA also had many big 360 releases around then.
I can't find Capcom's breakdown of systems in their report, but this is their statement:
"Resident Evil 4 Wii edition" (for Wii) made a strong showing, especially in overseas markets, exceeding our projections. "Apollo Justice Ace Attorney" (for Nintendo DS) increased its sales steadily, and "Monster Hunter Freedom 2" (for PlayStation Portable), which was a huge hit in the previous term, also continued to grow. Consumer game software is one of our core business segments, and the favorable performance of this segment played a leading role in overall sales growth.
Since they saw fit to only mention RE4 among home console games surely it was a fairly successful showing for the company.
