Well Capcom is happy with Resident 5, Monster Hunter Freedom and Tri, not happy with Darkside Chronicles, Super Street Fighter, Lost Planet 2, Bionic Commando and Dark Void

Dunno why they aren't satisfied with Darkside Chronicles. Probably compared to Umbrella Chronicles, but over 600k for a Wii game isn't bad. Dark Void sold horrible and was just a bad game. Bionic Commando deserved more :(

Well, they were expecting 800k for DSC, so it's a disappointment even though it's not a bomb.

But I guess that was a lifetime prediction and not only for the first 5 months of sales, right ?

That's what I'm wondering right now, because I recall 800k being a lifetime figure. Capcom expected DSC only to do 80% as well as Umbrella Chronicles did LTD (what, 2 years?). VGChartz can always be off on numbers, but after 43 weeks this is what DSC has managed:

6,828  this week,  658,740 so far.

Why is Capcom worried? It is still expensive too. ($30 new)

EDIT: Now I see the problem. Umbrella Chronicles passed 800k after only 12.5 weeks, back by early 2008 when the liquor was flowing and Wii owners weren't too ostracized yet. Crazy what bad PR, no ads, and a lotta shovelware can do for a software mark-et.......
