Forums - Nintendo - Miracle for an Old game: US RE4 Wii just surpassed US RE4 GC!!!

Knowing Capcom, they might release a Wii version of the game... 10 months after the PS360 versions are released.

it's really a shame that it's heavily overtracked. This has been confirmed multiple times by capcom press releases. Shipments are at about 1.3 million, shipments!

 

Link?  If it's been confirmed I am sure ioi would update the numbers if he knew about it and the source was reliable.

Two months out of date however.



Well, I think RE4: Wii Edition is still overtracked, but at the same time I think it will surpass GC version sales someday.

What matters now is how Alone In The Dark and Fatal Frame sells on Wii as RE4 has done a good job with the sales, but one game ain't much.

Finally, definitive proof that all Wii gamers are Grandmas and kids who are not allowed to play horror games! I wonder how much more profit Capcom would have if this game was Wii exclusive instead of PS360...

What does Capcom need to make the Wii version? For Wii owners to get down on their knees and beg? An offering of a sacrificial lamb, or maybe a few virgins dressed in white garbs?

Just buy RE5 for Xbox360 or PS3. I have no doubt that, at the very least, the Wii will be getting RE:Umbrella Chronicles 2 (which ties together RE2, Code Veronica, RE4, and RE5), and that with the high sales of RE4 and RE:UC, that Capcom may actually be building a new RE title exclusive to the Wii based off a modified RE4 engine (to better take advantage of the more powerful Wii graphics).

it IS overtracked, i've been trying to tell them that for quite a while. We got 1.25 million in the last financial statement, and in the one before that capcom released that it had sold 1.1 million. These are shipped numbers from 2 months ago so i think we're looking at close to 1.25 million sold now not 1.65 million.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I was going to post this, but you beat me to it. Nonetheless, Capcom's pretty pleased with the game's sales, and understandably so. Personally, though, I kind of hate this game: playing part five is going to be a total chore now, after the beauty that was four's control scheme.

It'll be hard going back to an analog control scheme. RE4 was damn near perfect.

RE5 is not for Wii, for god's sake, do these people have a brain at all??

i could buy it if it was on Wii, but on Ps3 i won't buy it, i hate shooters on Ps3....

also, Wii controls make bad shooters like RedSteel awesome games using the great controls.....!!

 Ummmm... maybe look at the title?  It says RE4.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Well i wonder what it would mean if it surpased the PS2 version too... or even PS2 and GCN combined?.....
