This game will probably have some good legs. A lot of people are probably hesitant for a lot of reasons. Since reviews are good, people will slowly immigrate in. Some people will also wait for a price drop because 80 dollars is a lot...

Hoping RE7 has a "long tail" in terms of overall sales. The game truly deserves it but more importantly that potential success might hopefully send a message to Capcom... listen to your fans. Hopefully this is not only a return to the essence of what made the series a break out to begin with but perhaps it might also serve as a potential stepping stone for some of their other franchises that may have regressed. -RE7 NINJA APPROVED-

Even now, GTAV is still so high on the charts? I did not expect to see that, wow! Well done to RE7 too, glad to see that the game is making a real splash :)
