Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

[Wrathborne]

Sorry the RE5 audience won back in 2008 :/.

So...according to that VGChartz place, the sales have dropped pretty dramatically since week one. Roughly a quarter of there first week sales.

I'm gonna assume that's not a good thing, given Mass Effect 3 on the 360 is outselling them still...

Given how slowly they're now selling, it's actually looking like Revelations will be somewhat comparable, at least compared to a single console. Across the 360 and PS3 combined, this has already sold more.

Still, quite cheered up.

Printing a few DLC codes and some new box art is probably not a problem for them.

[Darkmoon]

Depends on if they decide it'll cost more to make than can be reasonable for the expected returns.

[Code_R]

But can they resist that extra $$$ 6 months later ?

[Dracarys]

I dunno if ORC will get a 'Super/Gold' edition due to the critical reception. Not really selling the numbers that make it re-release worthy either and they cannot force people like they do the competitive fight community.

[Code_R]

It's not over... yet.

Dracarys' has made one fatal flaw, forgetting this is Capcom we're talking about...



:p

And this is why, even after the terrible reviews my remaining inclination to check the game out is totally dead.

[Dracarys]

Is it? I'm not sure first, even second, week sales figures are much to go by when determining if a game has been a financial success or not (unless you're Call of Duty and sell a billion copies on release day).

It is not first week or any weeks sales that determine if a financial success, is all Capcoms shipment numbers. Judging by the first few weeks sales this likely had a large enough shipment (that exceeded sales to have stock for coming weeks obviously) to have already been a success. Looking at the dev time and production values of the game it clearly was not big budget.

[Rombie]

Ha! Dracarys wins.

:p

[P.I.M.P.]

omg how dissapointing this game is....the game is too too short

[Wrathborne]

No no,

Ha! Dracarys wins.

[Smiley]

It is. At the very least Capcom and Slant Six seem to be satisfied with the results despite the criticism. Speaking of Call of Duty numbers you'll have to wait for RE6 to come out to determine if Capcom will make their goal. I haven't preordered that game yet but already reports have come in saying it's the biohazard game with the highest preorders.

[Archelon]

The game is a success financially.
