how many copies of RE6 actually sold out of the 4.5m shipped? |
3.6 according to VGChartz.
Their projections were always way too high about the game though. At one point they expected it to sell 10 million. The problem is, the game wasnt as good has they expected it to be. I think there were marketing problems in comparison to RE5 where there was a strong component of sex-appeal drawing in consumers, but also because of the terrible choice of controls and subsequant bad reviews. Its not a bad game im sure, and i am gonna get it still but i wasnt pleased with what i tried with the demo. Why do Japanese always feel the need to reinvent the wheel just cause it was invented by westerners? I know its dificult to admit to them, but the Gear of War/Mass effect controls are as best as 3rd person shooters get. Difficult to copy the controle scheme i suppose.
In my opinion though, they should've kept to the RE4/5 formula of tanks controls. Its their trademark, it works. RE revelations was awesome with it aswell. RE6 just took a wrong turn. Its time to back up and steer the franchise in a different direction that what they did.
Oh calling it a flop is an exageration though. It didnt perform as good as expectated but it was still a sucess.

GoW' scheme wouoldn't exist without RE4, so I think your causation might be a bit confused.

I see the debate you want to have here, but i cant be bothered if you're gonna be like this. I am obviously talking about the cover mechanics. RE4 didnt have them. Thank you.
