well mercs was the other 3ds game yes. I believe there was a RE for ds a few years back :S Can't remember the name
Yeah I'm not saying sales should be even comparable to console titles...but 122k is abysmall compared to millions it sells on consoles. This game is one of the biggest games from a 3rd party dev for the 3ds and had the hype train going strong from the day 3ds was revealed. I can't imagine why capcom would be happy with these sales.

Rev outsold them both (mercs and ds game), also capcoms past attempts to enter the franchise to the handheld market were medicores. The fanbase is more confortable on consoles. But Rev is their most succesful attempt to break into mobile gaming, and i think they will start expanding form here on. DO i think they are happy? not a chance, but i doubt they are crying about it. Also they didnt do much to hype the game to those console gamers that dont readhandheld news, i didnt see the jill suit with game for $1000. Also they are making RE a more shooter franchise and gamers are apparently liking it, so a more survival game may not interest those people.
The sales are decent for what they did and where they did it. That Capcom may think different it's a diferent matter.I think they will still keep trying with the frachise on the 3ds,but will expand to others like vita and iOS next time.

I think if they are smart they will try out vita next. I honestly believe a good game like RE R on the vita will easily outsellf these numbers. Time will tell if they will do so tho. RE (nor almost any horror game lol) isn't my cup of tea so I personally don't care
|
I see aport of RE R on vitas future if it the situation gets better, but knowing capcom i see the next handheld RE being multiplatform or iOS only. But i think that achieving the numbers and surprass them will be hard right now, specially with the little userbase and as i said most fans being home console gamers.

I think games like this have a good following on the psp crowd as shown by core 3rd party games past gen. Time will tell how it will go :)
