Forums - Sales - Why did RE: Darkside Chronicles outsell D. Space: Extraction?

Branding.



Around the Network

RE is bigger than Dead Space as a brand.



It's RE.



Because they didn't port the main game to the Wii first as they did with RE 4.



I think the answer is obvious...

Sexy Leon S. Kennedy!!! I even think the S stands for Sexy in his name..

Around the Network

Resident Evil is a bigger franchise than Dead Space, pure and simple.



Because of this...

"Resident Evil"



                            

Better known franchise (among the "less than hardcore") + better boxart. Dead Space's boxart is a complete turnoff.



Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Anticipating: Xenoblade, The Last Story, Mario Kart 7, Rayman Origins, Zelda SS, Crush3D, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, MGS:Snake Eater 3DS, RE:Revelations, Time Travellers, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Luigi's Mansion 2, MH TriG, DQ Monsters, Heroes of Ruin

Not only is the franchise bigger, but it got to this niche well before everybody else jumped on the bandwagon.

Also, I think people like zombies in contemporary Earth better than zombies in space.

*shrugs* maybe because DES was an interactive movie while REDC was more fun?
