Capcom stated they want 5 million worldwide, so I think the chance of a bomb are pretty big, especially since Killzone, StreetFighter and Halo Wars are just released.

It will still sell very well, though, but not 5 million.

 

Where did they say this?

 

The only figure I've ever seen them quote was 2.3 million.

 

In the 360 Famitsu a few weeks back. They also said they wanted RE5 to sell 500k on PS3 in Japan alone.

If the translation was right than the game will bomb like hell, cause I'm convinced they won't make either sales goal.

2.3 million should be easy, I think it could go past 3 million both platforms combined.

Is your bet about overall WW or just US? Because WW it's almost promised to have over 300k sold. For America alone, I'm still not sure on how i feel about it.

 

 

WW each console seperate 350 k

Preliminary sales for Japan:

  1. Biohazard 5 [Resident Evil 5] (PS3, Capcom) - 350,000
  2. The 7th Dragon (NDS, Sega) - 120,000
  3. Shin Sangoku Musou: MultiRaid [Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce] (PSP, Koei) - 86,000
  4. Biohazard 5 [Resident Evil 5] (360, Capcom) - 74,000
  5. Ryuga Gotoku 3 [Yakuza 3] (PS3, Sega) - 61,000
  6. Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! (NDS, Nintendo) - 41,000
  7. Super Robot Taisen Z Special Disc (PS2, Namco Bandai) - 33,000
  8. Aibou DS (NDS, Tecmo) - 23,000
  9. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G [PSP The Best] (PSP, Capcom) - 19,000
  10. Taiko no Tetsujin Wii (Wii, Namco Bandai) - 17,000

So it looks like if RE5 sells one copy in either Europe or America, hatmoza will have lost his bet.



Signature goes here!

Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
