Res 7 is doing pretty well all things considered, not as well as 5 and 6, but not bad at all. It has easily broken the record for bestselling first person horror game I think. |
Except SF5 has nothing to do with the exclusivity deal. It was rushed and lacked content. An XBO release wouldn't have added much in terms of sales. Maybe they would have been at 1.5M right now.
DR4, on the other hand, has almost everything to do with the exclusivity deal. While it probably isn't up to par with DR1 or 2, it still was an OK game. So, you would think it may do the same 1.3M as Street Fighter 5, or at least be at 1M+. But, unless you're Halo, Forza, or Gears, you're not doing too well on the XBO. And even those franchises have decreased this gen over last. Capcom decided to ignore an install base that is 2X+ the size of the XBO's and paid the price.
