This is key. If a remake of a game on a console with a much larger userbase did 50k first week, it's not suprising that a remake of a game on a console with a saller userbase has 20k first day sales it's actually pretty good comparitively. Also original RE4 sold better than original NG if I remember correctly. |
Yeah but I think you have to go case by case. Most people had a ps2 or cube, so most people that wanted to play RE4, did. While no one owned the original X-box in Japan, so it was there oppurtunity to get it. Plus NGS was addvertised and hyped like crazy for being so much better looking and basically hyped like a totally new game, while RE4 was essentially the same game with new controls, not very exciting. Nonetheless the userbase is bigger but I hardly think it matters I'm sure anyone who wanted it already owned it last gen. And this round people who were dying for the new controls, or the very few who somehow missed it went picking it up. The fact is you can still pick up the Gamecube version and play it on the Wii for half the price, you can't do that with NGS.
