Oh... yeah i suppose so! But the game is going to be developed for the 360 and PS3 as far as I'm aware so far? And I would expect that it should stay there... down-grading the game from these consoles isn't going to do the game any favours...

No, but it'd do Capcom's wallet some favors :)

Probably not.

Remember that Umbrella Chronicles is pretty much a Wii exclusive (for now anyway). If this does huge numbers, they might bring RE5 to the Wii - using a similar style of control. If it doesn't - still will see how RE5 does on the other platforms. 

30k is very good for a first day. I expect due to it being a game most of it's buyers will have played before on another system that it won't be the typical frontloaded game in Japan. 250k-300k total is probably reasonable.

250-300k would be insane, very few games have legs like that. expect around 100k

I don't know how anyone can think 30k for  such title is a very good score. There was a tv spot, hype, great score from Famitsu, small penetration of PS2's and GC's version, controls optimisation... It's insane. When VF5 made same number with much smaller user base you called it a mega-bomb. It's funny.

kber81... Fair enough... But VF5 was a new entry in a longlasting series which was known to sell about 1 mil+ ww... So it kinda sucked sales wise.

However. R4 is about 2-3 years old now and Capcom said they'd be happy if it sells like 300-400k WW. And they'll start making a profit at 100k... Which means they WILL make profit on this port. On anoher note... The game is being recycled... As such... There won't be a big hype around it cause most of the people are already up to date on most of the content in this title!

Add this all up and then 30k FIRST DAY!!! is good! (essentialy this means like 50k first week, and 120k total for Japan)

uh, VF4 outsold RE4 on GC and PS2 combined by over 100k. VF5 is what you call a bomb, not a remake of a 3 year old game. RE4 is likely to outsell VF5 by a little bit, and I don't think capcom was expecting more. I think you were expecting too much for this title.

low sales, must be summer.

Since no one knows what RE5 graphics are, we can't assume whether its for the Wii or not. We've only seen a demo video made before the game engine or any of the game development began.

The Wii is a long distance runner, not a sprinter, it the games sales in the long run that determines its success, not its initial burst. By your logic, the PS3 has sold the most consoles because of its first week sales.
