	oni-link posted 03/02/2010, 08:40 whatever it will still give Capcom a profit...i.e. a smaller profit but a profit none the less. They're actually lucky they sold this much for a gun game. Message \| Report
	midaks posted 02/02/2010, 07:48 I really think that if Capcom spent time making a better game then they would get better sales. I mean I don't even think they deserve these sales, especially with such a shallow marketing campaign. By the way, this has most likely already garnered a profit for Capcom, due to the fact that Wii games cost much less to make and especially lightgun shooters. not that i dont like light gun shooters Message \| Report
	widescreen posted 02/02/2010, 05:24 Capcom expected to sell 800K of this game before the end of the fiscal year. We're already in February, unless there is some sort of miracle within the next 28 days, Capcom will still consider this game a disapointment. Message \| Report
	Bobbuffalo posted 02/02/2010, 12:42 I guess that if they made this game a 3D person shooter with RE4 controllers it would have been better received and sold more. Shame on you capcom. Message \| Report

	Metallicube posted 29/01/2010, 10:40 I thought Capcom were whining about the sales of this game? Seems pretty damn good to me considering it's yet ANOTHER on rails shooter on Wii.

	oni-link posted 28/01/2010, 07:37 Wk 1 in Japan definitely under tracked compared to famitsu's numbers: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=6761&mp=1 it will surely beat famitsu's lifetime sales there!!! The only place where it is struggling compared to it's predecessor is Others for reasons unknown! Message \| Report
	famousringo posted 28/01/2010, 05:42 @ oni-link Those are Famitsu estimates, not Capcom's expectations. Capcom is expecting 800k lifetime from this title. Week 2 sales in Japan were good, on par with RE:UC. Should manage at least 200k in that region. Message \| Report

	Tuulikk posted 15/01/2010, 01:50 310k in 8 incomplete weeks (missing Japan and one day in others) ain't that bad. But there has been more then a few times people from publishers have expressed their thoughts about how bad a game on Wii has sold and then time has gone bye, sales has grown stronger and the melody from publishers has changed. I think a problem has been that many games released in 2009 has crashed and burned, so publishers has gotten more afraid when the first weeks has not shown all that good numbers. Hopefully this RE game, Monster Hunter 3, a few Sega games, Call of Duty games can give a more positive look on the future of Wii then of late. Message \| Report

	J.U.N.O posted 14/01/2010, 11:30 They called it a flop but they dotn consider that some Wii games, RE:UC included sell over time. Give it a few more weeks... Message \| Report
	famousringo posted 14/01/2010, 10:00 @ jcalamil You've got a point. I didn't realize how strong RE:UC's sales were in Japan. EU sales are certainly down compared to RE:UC, but NA sales look pretty flat. It could meet Capcom's 800k expectations as long as Japan doesn't disappoint. Message \| Report
	BigGumby posted 13/01/2010, 08:45 It didnt flop, this is selling much better than HOD:O did this far after release, and that games is OVER 500,000, this will definetly sell more. Message \| Report
	jcalamil posted 13/01/2010, 06:07 I think I know the reason, in Japan is out on January 14th, comparing this with Umbrella Chronicles, the release date was almost the same, probably this is the problem, I hope Japan has good sales. Message \| Report

	famousringo posted 13/01/2010, 06:54 Will it sell well over time? Depends on what you define as 'well.' It should clear 500k lifetime, which might be enough to at least cover the bills, but Capcom's expectations were 800k. I don't think this game is going to reach that. Message \| Report

	AwesomeElmo posted 12/01/2010, 02:37 wha...? I thought this was the flop of the decade and now I see that it has sold nearly 300k already. Must be a typical case of press jumping on the bandwagon before the story plays out. Message \| Report

	SaviorX posted 07/01/2010, 09:09 I hope no one is dumb enough to call it a flop after a mere month and a half. Light-gun shooters sell over time, especially at LOWER price points. When this sells below 4k WW then we'll talk. This game is still full price, and as a result has brought in ~$14 million in revenue (as of January 7th, 2010). If Capcom hasn't broken even already, they will soon enough. Message \| Report

	darkgemini posted 07/01/2010, 05:10 time will tell. wii games sell for a long time. UC had bigger sales, but steady sales, too. I think darksidechronicles will reach 500k easily, maybe 750k or even more. Message \| Report
	Buzzi posted 07/01/2010, 02:32 After 3 years people still claiming Wii games flop after less than 2 months? Excite Bots is a flop, Little King's Story is a flop, this sold over 50k last week and if has legs 500k are not impossible. Considering the Wii costs it must give a profit at 500k. And it's a rail shooter, how can you expect big sales? Message \| Report

	midaks posted 02/02/2010, 07:48 I really think that if Capcom spent time making a better game then they would get better sales. I mean I don't even think they deserve these sales, especially with such a shallow marketing campaign. By the way, this has most likely already garnered a profit for Capcom, due to the fact that Wii games cost much less to make and especially lightgun shooters. not that i dont like light gun shooters Message \| Report

	Tuulikk posted 15/01/2010, 01:50 310k in 8 incomplete weeks (missing Japan and one day in others) ain't that bad. But there has been more then a few times people from publishers have expressed their thoughts about how bad a game on Wii has sold and then time has gone bye, sales has grown stronger and the melody from publishers has changed. I think a problem has been that many games released in 2009 has crashed and burned, so publishers has gotten more afraid when the first weeks has not shown all that good numbers. Hopefully this RE game, Monster Hunter 3, a few Sega games, Call of Duty games can give a more positive look on the future of Wii then of late. Message \| Report

	SaviorX posted 07/01/2010, 09:09 I hope no one is dumb enough to call it a flop after a mere month and a half. Light-gun shooters sell over time, especially at LOWER price points. When this sells below 4k WW then we'll talk. This game is still full price, and as a result has brought in ~$14 million in revenue (as of January 7th, 2010). If Capcom hasn't broken even already, they will soon enough. Message \| Report

	SaviorX posted 31/10/2009, 03:52 Capcom wants 800,000 lifetime from this game. Right now, it has 35,000 preorders a month before release in America. Should manage a ~55k first week (NA) and legs have to support it through the holidays and summer months. Message \| Report

	Chrizum posted 12/10/2009, 12:32 100k worldwide? That's much too low. It will probably do 60k - 65k first week in Americas. Add an additional 70k - 75k for Japan and 35k - 40k for Others, and you have a first week of 165k - 180k. Lifetime sales should be in the 680k - 720k range. Message \| Report
	adam84 posted 10/10/2009, 07:40 should sell great, 100k maybe more for first week i think Message \| Report

	primogen18 posted 09/09/2009, 07:22 I agree with hyperion, Wii owners love RE, if the 100k+ and growing sales of the RE1 port don't say that, I don't know what will... Message \| Report
