Spin of Resident Evil sold 582k, it seem Capcom make mistake of releasing both games without much gap in between. Otherwise its posible sales could have matched RE5.

ORC was a horrible game. Could be that this game really damaged the Resident Evil brand. Reviews for 6 didn't help either.

Wii is probably around 40k.. that's abysmal..

Well, it is what it is (dead).

I'd be more worried about that other console doing around 40k though...

PSv will do better.. it's only getting started.. Wii is just.. doing horribly for a console that dictated the game industry for several years this gen.. then again Wii u is coming out soon.. and Wii is very very outdated next to both PS3/360 and their motion peripherals..

how many time have we heard that

No just the simple fact that yet again Vgchartz has overtracked the 360 more than the Ps3 in America, it happens nearly every single month.

Wow consoles are so overtracked. We are in for a very disappointing Holiday season sales wise (only interesting thing will be the Wii U)

Reviews killed Resident Evil.

The franchise is dead its only going downhill from now on and hopefully Dead Space will Rise.

Better games deserve better and RE6 is far, FAR from a good game.

Why are people surprised that sales are low in October? No one buys anything a month before the Christmas stuff starts to hit the stores.

You can judge price cuts, vita sales, and other things until January.

My prediction of the PS vita being discontinued by Jan 2014 is starting to look very likely. If it isn't, it will still sell under 20m units in lifetime sales (my other prediction).
