jammy, where's your source?

Anyway, Capcom is screwed if 5-6 million is their real expectation. They aren't going to hit it, they may not even come close, and they wouldn't have to put up numbers that big if they made the game playable on the Wii. HD development will be the death of gaming, I can see it now. Even the biggest companies, like EA, are struggling with the costs of these new machines, and a number of small devs have already died trying to produce just one HD game.

Other then all over the internet with a quick google search anyone who cares can find in 5 seconds...

 The rest of your rant was just... ignorant. I've no time to get involved in this stuff at the moment though, so there is your source, think it goes on to talk about SFIV, Bionic Commando and some others too.

 

If you provide contrary information, it's your job to cite it not every other person's to research it.  If it's not a claim you care to back up, then don't, but don't expect anyone to pay attention to you.

The rest of my rant was... not directed at you.  Really, think about it.  Do you think I would direct any of that at you?  Maybe I should have put it at the bottom, or put an idiot-proof statement in there to make it clear it was comments made in general.

 

I didn't think the rant was at me, but I sort of wrote a drunken semi-response. But yeah, it just annoys me that people bother to type out a post saying I must be lying and require a source then just a quick google. Just me I guess, either way, it seems the rest of this thread are quick to forget the actual true Capcom expectations and just rant on about this 5 million figure that's been pulled from...somewhere.

 I'm not really up for getting into the whole HD gaming will run companies dry thing but it's just another half-informed ignorant type rant that doesn't hold much substance. That's in my experience anyway, as a video game journalist, n all.

Is that across all consoles? Because thats not unreasonable at all. In fact I'd think higher than 6 million across all consoles.

Wow, way to give yourself even less credibility.  I think pretty much everyone here knows by now that the only thing separating gaming "journalists" and your average fanboy is a paycheck.

Anyway, I never called you a liar and if you were a real journalist you'd understand the importance of citations.  So, then, NOW I'm calling you a liar (but not really, sicne I don't give a crap)

 



You do not have the right to never be offended.

maybe they mean 5-6 mill after having a Wii edition, *winkwink*



 

 

damnit, vess beat me to my point. The Wii version should sell 2 million, meaning the 360 version needs to get 1.7 million and the PS3 version 1.3 million.

Easily achievable



Around the Network

Rident Evil is huge. 5 mill esily.

X360: 2.75 mill
PS3: 2.25 mill
-------
= 5 million



Agree. It's a multiplatform game and I believe capcom was talking about "shipped" numbers. even lost Planet shipped 2 million in the first week.

 Mmmm, a bit of hyperbole on your part but I can see where you're coming from. The difference is I do ask company reps and employees and people with any sort of factual knowledge of this sort of thing about sales and profits, and while most of them don't give much away you get a good impression.

Either way, it's sleepy time for jammy. My lack of citations in what was a drunken forum post, is most likely because it was just that, a drunken forum post I expected not to see again. Anywho, I'm going off on a tangent, thankfully you won't be reading this cause you don't give a crap.

I hope they did a better job at estimating sales for this game then they did for Zack & Wiki.
