So it's safe to say RE:UC did over 500k world wide. With some luck could be 500k for Japan and America only and around 600k World Wide.

Yup it definitely would be safe to so 500k for Japan and America and 600k worldwide.

I don't know why it did so bad in Europe though..I thought maybe, like Resident Evil 4, it would've been its strongest market.

 

[Wii-za]

Mmmm...how different are this numbers compared to the Famitsu ones???

Oh sure Wii-za...here you go:


Media Create vs. Famitsu/Enterbrain Numbers

1. Super Robot Wars OG Side Story (PS2) : +-2k
2. Wii Fit (Wii) : +-54k
3. Mario Party DS (DS) : +-31k
4. FF4 DS (DS) : +-12k
5. Star Ocean 1 First Departure (PSP) : +-10k
6. Wii Sports (Wii) : +-??k
7. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku (PSP) : +-10k
8. Professor Layton and Pandora's Box (DS) : +-??k
9. DQ4 (DS) : +-12k
10. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) : +-12k

RE: UC is a really good game IMO.

How RE:UC did compared to RE4 on Wii ?

I know RE4 perform(ed) better WW, but I'm not sure about region specifics.

 

[davepoobond]

what do you have in mind?

it was weekly sales, but i believe cheesemeister covered it and more than i could ever ask for

i wouldn't mind having wii sales for a week or two before wiifit came out up to the current week though, just to see their relationship, on the same chart as the wiifit weekly sales


its pretty much doing what i thought it'd be doing, although i might have expected it to sustain a little bit higher.

What were Capcoms predictions for B:UC? For some reason I can't remember. Were they 600k?

 

[HK-47]

RE: UC has outsold RE 4 Wii in Japan already

 

[Stumpokapow]

What were Capcoms predictions for B:UC? For some reason I can't remember. Were they 600k?

Within fiscal year or one year of release, it was never clarified. This number is worldwide:
400k for RE4Wii
620k for RE:UC

 

[The Faceless Master]

Interesting numbers.

Famitsu reported COD4 360>COD4 PS3. Media Create have it the other way around. :lol

Either way, nice stuff!!!

damn, beaten!

 

[SunkisTim535]

What do PSP owners play?

 

[HK-47]

What do PSP owners play?

"Homebrew" and movies

 

[The Faceless Master]

What do PSP owners play?

monster hunter and pr0n

 

[castle007]

Wii Fit!!!

SMG, stay in the top 10 please

 

[SunkisTim535]

"Homebrew"?

I mean PSP sales are amazing, but software sales suck. Star Ocean sold well enough sure, but considering all the PSP's that are flying off the shelves I'd expect it to have done better than that. And it'll be gone next week I'm sure.

Updated. Refresh if need be.

 

[AniHawk]

So Galaxy's already beaten SMS... should have strong enough legs to take it to 1m in MC's numbers

 

[Xeke]

Capcom really is doing a great job building a RE user base on the Wii and an all around good job all together in regards to this gen.

thank you!

it'd be interesting to see what happens to the chart after a couple weeks

 

[AniHawk]

Agreed. They're the one Japanese developer that really figured out how to build an audience on all systems (except perhaps the PS3 and PSP).

Yes, and it's ironic how Capcom's comfortably built the RE Wii userbase through a 2.5 year old port and a rail shooter spinoff, versus the efforts they did back on the GameCube with a full-fledged remake and two original titles.

That's because rail shooters are awesome.

I think they are fine with MH on PSP

 

[AniHawk]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the system's only Japanese million sellers. Strange, that. All I could think of was UGnG, the Mega Man games, and Castlevania remake.

I'm sure the GC games laid some groundwork.

No chances for MMPU2. *sigh*

Oh, well. We'll get MMZXB or something sooner or later.

Which is why it's baffling that they haven't yet announced a mainline game on the system as of yet. They spent all last gen builing a fanbase amongst Nintendo gamers.

Not saying it has to be RE5, but how about 6 or 7?

 

[cvxfreak]

They literally did.

...You want them to announce RE6 before RE5 has even been released - or heck, even playable?

They literally did.

Bahaha.

(So did the PS2!)

 

[HK-47]

...You want them to announce RE6 before RE5 has even been released - or heck, even playable?

What he meant to say was RE 2 Remake obviously

 

[beef3483]

Why not? I'm not too worried about story continuity in RE games and each successive sequal has not used the same characters as the one before it.

What he meant to say was RE 2 Remake obviously

No, actually. I'm sick of remakes.

Spoiler

Unless it's Final Fantasy 6.

Touché.

Monster Hunter DS? It might happen thou.

 

[Pureauthor]

Because from a business standpoint it's a horrible and idiotic decision. No one wants to split up potential hype between two different games that supposedly would share equal billing.

The Wii (and frankly, any other system on the market) will not won't see an RE6 until RE5 has come and gone. The most you could hope for is Code Veronica's spiritual successor.

You aren't worried, but something tells me Capcom's accountants might be.

 

[ethelred]

That makes sense. The PS2 games had visuals on the right level to allow them to easily do a port to PSP. The Wii version might provide the same opening for a potential DS port.

Not to forget about this.

Unless Capcom somehow get Mikami to supervise it.

Why can't hype for one build hype for the other? If releasing a mainline RE on two different systems kills hype then why do we see RE5 as multiplat?

 

[Pureauthor]

Please, do explain to me how announcing RE6 would build hype for RE5.

Also, it's not having a mainline RE on two different platforms. It's having two different mainline REs in contention at the same time. Reread my last post on this subject and you'll note that I said no system will glimpse RE6 until RE5 has come and gone.

 

[jesusraz]

And Wii Fit has officially now hit a million!

Well that was quick.

 

[nextgeneration]

Wow, very impressive. When all is said and done, I wonder how many this will go on to sell?

 

[linsivvi]

Just call it RE something, they don't have to use the number system. There are so many characters that they could just make a continuation on a couple of them. Just make it plays like RE4 with some enhancements and I am sure it will sell.

 

[Pureauthor]

Maybe they could make an RE game based on the CG movie they're making? I dunno.

 

[AnimeTheme]

PS2 MH >>>>> Wii MH? :lol
