| shams said: 1m sales for this (shipped figures) isn't really a lot. Consider that DMC4 shipped 2m units in the first 2-3 weeks on sale. RE5 should do 4-5m in the first 1-2 months on 360/PS3. No question that RE5 would do well on the Wii - but it makes more sense to focus on the current version, then look at a Wii port maybe 12 months after its release. RE4 initially came out what ... 2..3 years ago? And its still doing well? |
You don't consider a million for a light gun shooter a lot??? It must have been since Duck Hunt that such a game sold over a million. And this one wasn't even a polished product. I loved it though, because I could revisit all these old locations (Mansion brrrrrr) and learn more about Wesker.
I don't know if RE5 will do 5 million in total on PS360. Look at RE4, it sold 5.7 million total on 3 consoles (didn't count the PC version). 1.6 million is the Wii version. That's 28% and rising for the wii version of the game.
DMC did very well, and RE will surely sell more, but I'm not completely convinced the whole RE audience is on the HD machines.
