@TW, Capcom just released its Sales forecast for the year ahead. 7 millions for RE6. Don't know about legs, but yeah, 10 million is now very far but 1.2 million more than RE5 (which had god knows how many reprints) in one year is great no matter what - of course, it can still "flop"


Capcom's forecast for the year ahead:

Resident Evil 6 7 million units
DmC Devil May Cry 2 million units
Dragon's Dogma 1.5 million units
Lost Planet 3 1.4 million units


Plus Capcom's best selling franchises

Resident Evil - 73 games - 49 million sales
Street Fighter - 73 games - 33 million sales
Mega Man - 129 games - 29 million sales
Monster Hunter - 21 games - 21 million sales
Devil May Cry - 15 games - 10 million sales
Dead Rising - 11 games - 5.3 million sales
Lost Planet - 13 games - 4.8 million sales
Ace Attorney 16 games - 4.3 million sales
Sengoku BASARA - 21 games - 3.1 million sales

This and other news, like shorter development times  are here:

Yes, I was sure RE6 would do considerably better than RE5, hence why I thought it would make it to 10m when I assumed RE5 had sold 8m. That screwed up my thread big time. Oh well.
