What? How is selling 2.3 million copies sucking?

Yes Kryos, I'm aware of this. But because you could not see my point, I had to exaggerate the scenario to make it more obvious.

Edouble, upon re-reading the article it would seem you are right. That seems to be the predictions for this fiscal year only

A year ago I might've guessed something similar. Now DMC4 has proven that HD console multiplats can do every bit as well as (arguably superior) PS2 exclusives, and the lowest projections of 360/PS3 console sales have turned out to be far too low.

Then again, the Resident Evil franchise has been in a long sales decline, not to mention what an extremely crowded genre RE4 shifted it into. It has the potential to do very well, but I suppose sales of 2-3M shouldn't be considered too unlikely.

they are always low on their predictions, or expectations. They said 1.6 for DMC4 between both versions, 600k for RE:UC, and something near that for RE4wii, i think this is right in the same range. It will probably outsell that but not by too much.

Developers either low-ball or high-ball. You earn nothing on being close to the number, but falling short of it. Then it failed to do what it should, which the financial board could look at as a bad thing. If you low-ball, the game did much better than expected, the board should like this. If you high-ball, you could get much more attention, and therefore increase the sales in comparison to medium-balling.

It sucks because yall can't read. The title is expected to release at the end of Capcom's fiscal year. These sales projection are sales within that fiscal year. Meaning Capcom is expecting the PS3 and 360 versions combined to sell about 2.3 million in either its first couple of months of first few weeks.

Sorry but Resident Evil isn't as big as people like to think..

capcom wants to show its investors that the game did "much better than expected" and therefore maximize shareholders wealth. its better to undervalue a game then to overvalue.

It should be because it's one of the greatest series ever.  Get people to stop buying all those crap shooters for once and invest in a great series like RE.
