The best comparison for Resident Evil VII is, in my opinion, probably Resident Evil 4. It introduced a new gameplay system, changed the camera perspective, was more action-oriented compared to previous entries being more horror-oriented (which is the opposite for VII), was released on a similarly popular console (the Gamecube had around the same userbase as the PS4 at the same point in time) and was the first new entry of the series of that generation. It did 150k FW on the Gamecube. So to me that's the very lowest VII can do without being considered a decline for the series.

How much did RE4 do in japan. I think it was time exclusive too right? There was a ps2 version came out later

150k FW on the Gamecube and 235k FW on the PS2 one year later. But Capcom built the Resident Evil audience on the Gamecube prior to the release of RE4 by releasing the Gamecube exclusive Resident Evil 0 as well as a full remake of the first Resident Evil game released again exclusively on the Gamecube. They also ported Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X on the Gamecube. Resident Evil 4 also came out after a main entry that did 1.4m. So the comparison isn't perfect but if a game like RE4 did only 150k I'm not so sure why REVII should do a lot more.

Hmmm. I see this really does help out (explanation), i dont think re7 will drop that much so it doing 150k-200k wouldnt be all too bad. Im guessing we dont kno capcom expectations of this game.

 

If you dont mind can you post RE5+6 FW. Also ps2 release of 4 did very well (going by 2nd release after time exclusive of gamecube version)

Superb day for Kingdom hearts and another good day for RE7!

It just broke the 100 mark with 30 days left. Not many ps4 titles got over 100. Congrats RE7!

Also welcome new vita title. The chart has returned to 19/20 being Playstation!

RE7 and KH take it today. Keep it up!

Ps4 #1 on amazon Japan now. Going to have a good final week of the year. The unrivalled library is starting to rub off on the japanese.
