The previous games were on both the PS2 and Xbox. I don't know how much they sold though. They might sell better on the wii though since they were advertised on the Everybody's Nintendo channel. I'm sure they were advertised on TV as well.

35k first week



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

60k first week, 120 LTD

In the West this should sell over 500k though. Could be more due to the hype.

FF4 seems to be a bigger budget game than the last one were.

These types of games DO tend to do well in Japan (just look at Silent Hill and Biohazard)

I think it has a chance to catch on a bit there.

I mean seriously Metriod Prime sold 40k and that game is soo Western.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Silent Hill and Resident Evil are very popular franchises with established fanbases.

^they had to start somewhere.

Now what you could have pointed out is that both those series are on the decline in Japan (as far as sales go)

Yeah, because they made it a friggin shooterfest. Damn. I want my survival horror! That being said, this game could surprise, but I don't think the series is that big. Over 100k in Japan would be a success.
