100,000 seriously, well I hope its true. I had hreard about the package being sold out already so it could be, that figure still seems a little high though.
It's Japan by the way.
100k for something as niche as Umbrella Chronicles is very good. Remember, it's a zapper game. It's not exactly a game that's going to cater to everyone: yet it outsold the RE4 Budget Wii port.
Could hit 175k-200k for the EOW, and do 500k in Japan alone over Christmas. Definately going to exceede Capcom's expectations, and will be a great succuess for Capcom if true (and avenge the bombing of Zack & Wiki)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

100k is great considering it hasn't been super hyped. That and it's a rail shooter, which is hardly a mega selling genre.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said but I don't think you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
I agree it would be better if you had posted a link to a blog with a translation or whatever.
Great news in any case. I've been really looking forward to this game, and it'll probably be the next one I buy after getting Galaxy tomorrow. Too bad it's currently under 80 at Metacritic. Reviewers afraid to praise a game in such a rare genre? ;__;
RE5 FOR WII!
RE:2 RE:UC REMAKES FOR WII !
CAPCOM GOES EXCLUSIVE WITH WII !
LET THIS BE THE LAST CONSOLE WAR !

Is that sarcasm?
I thought Galaxy sold 230k on day one? Or am I way wrong?
Edit: I looked, it was 260k for week one. Whoops.

"Remember, it's a zapper game"
Can be very well played w/o the zapper.
"considering it hasn't been super hyped"
you mean, after a dozens of video trailers, tons of articles/previews and such, not to mention we're talking about Resident Evil (RE4 did a million on the Wii)...
100 000 is good if true, but not exceptionnal given the install base.
It was sarcasm, since if a game like UC can almost reach mario's one days sales what does that say

Considering Mario Galaxy did only 130K in day one that is amazing for a thrid party game on the Wii (especially since people say third parties don't sell on Wii)

I think a lot of people have a warped perception of what is and what isn't great sales for a game after seeing stuff like Halo 3 and Super Mario Galaxy get released. In the end, very few games end up selling a million, and especially on the Wii it isn't necessary for a game to be considered a big success.
This is one of the best openings I can remember a third party Wii game having, and in Japan of all places! If this sells even close to a million, which it very well might with a start like this, it should make massive profits for Capcom, and prove quality games on the Wii will sell well, even if they are a "harcore". I just hope developers won't over-react, and release nothing but rail-shooter after rail-shooter for the whole of 2008. =P
