with most foes i aim at the head, with the ganados usually at the feet then run over and knife them. with the gold helmet monks its chest-leg-kick-knife
monks with shields piss me off, if there is more than 1 i use an incendiary, just 1 then shotgun. for the big brutes with massive claws [first met in prison] i either shoot the bells then rifle the back, or get out most powerful weapon and hope it stops him before he gets to me [one of the hardest bits of the game to me is when you are in a cage with one.

sales targets will be met easily and probably surpassed by 100-150k at least.

as for UC, personally im not keen on on-rail shooters, but i am considering this myself.
i would have thought the fact that its a new RE game would let it sell 400-500k on those two points alone, if it happens to be half-decent it should get at least their estimate, and if its great then it could be a million seller [maybe only just though]

Lets not forget that the target was a "shipment" target. Capcom doesn't really care what it sells (although more is obviously better) - they just wanted to ship a min of 420k units to break even, and reach their financial goals on the project.

There will be somewhere between 100k-200k units sitting on store shelves around the world ATM. And I think this will be a strong seller over Xmas. Its still one of the best games available for the Wii, a strong brand/franchise - and the only game in its genre available at the moment (on the Wii) - I don't think "Escape from Bug Island" counts ;)

Good points. And as we've noted before the Euro/PAL numbers could put it well above expectations. You are correct about the holidays as well.

This bodes well for UC and continuing support from Capcom.

Do you hear me Capcom? We want Dead Phoenix now. Motion control is perfect for it. Make it happen.

Are you sure those were purchases from Amazon and not partners like Target or the many or any of the marketplace companies?

 absolutely. 

actually when you're in the cage with the blind brute with claws was perhaps the easiest one that I found.

I just put half a clip of TMP ammo in the lock on the door and kicked it open, then ran around outside and killed all the monks. The blind dude couldn't find his way out of the cage so I just leasurely put three rifle shots in his back. 

or you could throw a grenade at the door and kick it, saves alot of ammo.

Resident evil 4: Wii edition.

Sales expected by Capcom: 420k.

Now Japan: ~100k (And climbing steadily with 4k a week).

Now USA: ~210k (And climbing with ~8k a week?!).

Now Others: ~170k (And still climbing same rate as in USA).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total sales today: ~480k And still climbing. I think it can reach 600k Ww in the end.

Don't forget a christmass Zerg rush for the game. Glad to see it outdid Capcom's expectations.

Ahaa... STARCRAFT!!! I do Zerg rush all the time in 3vs3 fastest btw ...
