Forums - Sales - Will RE The Umbrella Chronicles suffer because of RE4.

RE4 as we all know did extremely well (Japan excluded). On 11.13 in US will hit RE: TUCh and I wonder how strongly success of RE 4 affects on this title. Actually these two games are very different but how many people still want to kill some zombies? I think game will do very poorly because of RE4 and SMG. It struggles to enter top 50 on amazon.com two days before release. I predict 30k for a start. Does Capcom support this title with some ad campaign in US or believes it will sell on it's own? Your expectation?

It depends how good it is.

Early on, capcom gave the impression of rather half-hearted interest in the wii, and if the led to them pumping out a mediocre game, which reviews far less well than RE4, I expect a lot of people wont bother.

If it's a game that stands up on its own merits, I'd have thought the fact RE4 was a good port, that used the wii-mote well, would encourage more people to pick it up.



I want this game more then RE4, I think most RE fans will pick this up, it's a whole new game all together remember.

I expect over 1 million WW at some stage.



Its what they deserve for not putting RE5 on the wii.



I think RE:UC will sell way better because of RE4 wii than it would if RE4 wii never existed...

Since RE4 has done well on the Wii, I expect some of its success to rub off on RE:UC.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>

I think RE:UC launches in a very good time frame. Most people will surely buy Mario Galaxy for their Wiis, maybe GHIII, or Sonic & Mario but what about the "hardcore" gamers? They'll surely buy RE:UC due to being different in both style and genre than the games during that period. I mean, RE:UC will be somehow oblivious to SMG than other games.



I agree with my compatriots. RE4 had ensured that there are a lot of Wii owners who are pretty interested in the Resident Evil series right now. A lot of those people are going to be getting RE:UC in part because they've played RE4 Wii.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
