Regardless of the quality, it has little chance of achieving RE4 or RE5 sales.

Now I'll wait for your excuse.

On Feb 4th, RE:R not yet released in NA.  On March 14th, RE5 released in the West (March 13th Pal-NA).

3DS established userbase: 15million.

PS3/360 userbases in 2009: ~35Mil.

Type of games released on HD twins: M rated games.

Type of games released on portables: E-T rated games.

Resident Evil fan current base: PS3/360.

Type of growth for RE:R and most Nintendo games: Long-term.

Typer of growth for RE5 and most HD twin games: Short-term spike.

 

Maybe for the moment you're right, but given time RE:R will outsell them.

Short term spike means they sell a shit ton of copies before a game hits the bargain bin. Right?

Anyhow, my point is if you wanna reach core gamers in the west its difficult to do on hand held platforms.

PSP was successful at moving core software for a couple years but people lost interest. DS was never good at moving core software period.
