Worldwide i don't see why not... 360 owners luv shooters, and PS3 owners luv Resident Evil (and shooters but not as much as 360 owners)... Let's see if they pull the Japan one (350k PS3 and 150k 360 sounds about right but not 1st day)...
| polezo said: Hmm. I'm not saying it's likely, but i can see it happening. Starting off multiplat should give it a real boost. Resi 4 sold 4+ million BEFORE it was ported to wii (and is now at 6+ million if you include Wii Edition sales). If it wasn't a timed exclusive for Gamecube it could've had even better sales on the PS2 and overall. |
there is no way to prove this. For all we know plenty of the GC owners rebought it because of the extra content in the PS2 versoin. And again plenty of poeple rebought the Wii-version for the COMPLETE version of the best graphics, all content, and wii controls.
So bringing up 4 is quite the exeption compared to a HD RE on same release time and same content game. And lets not forget we are dealing with GC+PS2+Wii Userbase vs. 360+PS3 Userbase.
Maybe they still have yet a card to play.... RE5 Wii version; with this, the goal would be a piece of cake xD hahaha jk
Well, i dont know.... it kind of sounds about right (expect the japan part) BUT i don't think they will make it. I don't think RE5 is gonna be that popular.
03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:
500K debut in Japan?? Sounds huge... 400K is possible I think.
As for 5 to 6M LTD?? Perhaps some light Chronic every now and then but it doesn't sound too crazy at all. RE4 sold ... what?? 6M+?? Although it was on 4 platforms [PS2/GC/Wii/PC] and RE5 has only been announced for 3 [PS360/PC]
4 ≈ One
5-6 million is possible. Actually I think RE5 could do 3.5 million on the Xbox360. This game is bundled with the PS3 and the Xbox360 in Japan. There are rumors about a red Xbox360 with this game.
I am pretty confident the Xbox360 version will cross 3.5 million after one year. Left 4 Dead did 1.5 million in 10 weeks on the Xbox360 alone. And of course without being any kind of popular in Japan.
I even predictet RE5 on the Xbox360 will sell more units than Killzone2.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
I think it can, mainly because RE series has been gutted into another game that could almost be classified as a shooter rather then survival horror.
Meaning there are more shooter fans then RE survival horror fans, and will probably boost sales.

Just take a look at Factor 5 and Free Radical. Both made but one HD console game and went out of business promptly afterwards. Companies like EA, which never had problems making a profit before despite past console transitions, are losing money like crazy as well. Half of Activision's revenues (and much more of their profits) come from WoW, and without it there's little telling where they'd be. No HD-focused company is walking with their head held high, and many devs outright admit that they subsidize HD game costs wit hSD game sales. Nintendo, the only major company not making any HD games, has the biggest revenues and profits by a huge margin. Whoever comes out of HD gaming alive is not going to be in nearly as good a shape as they went into this generation, and virtually no new IPs are going to be developed as compared to the last three. When Namco Bandai says they need to make .5 million sales minimum (1 million more realistically) to break even on HD games and the majority of games sold never reach .5 million, that's a bad sign. It's these factors that cause companies to lean on "crap" like Carnival Games. |
Konami, Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Media Molecule say Hellur
But honestly your making it sound like those games were any GOOD :/ I mean if they were decent then yeah maybe it would be serious to see a dev studio who made a great game fail as miserably as the above. But If Haze and Lair where as outstanding as many had wanted it to be then Factor 5 and Free Radical most likely wouldnt be in the positions their in now. I mean even with all of its crapfest Haze has sold over 600k so theres obviously more then One game that Sunk the company.....I have a feeling a number of projects that FR were doing were pulled from them because of the negativity surrounding HAZE but please if your going to claim HD is killing something it better be crappy games because if any thing HD has shown us that Crappy Games on HD consoles= Certain death for your company.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
thats pretty reasonable
PS3 plus 360 sales should more then total that number.
It shouldn't be terribly hard to reach. As long as the game has strong support in the us and europe on both platforms, this should be easy.
I dunno about Japan first day, but worldwide? It's a huge name...I think it can make it.
