It sold well. But other than the Japanese market, RE6 is not exactly a huge massive hit over here. It seems it's falling behind RE5' numbers. Those Pokemon games are selling better (no surprise there).
In Japan it already is about to leave the top 10 charts. I wonder it has enough legs to go the distance here in the US.
Two more games like RE6 and RE will turn into Onimusha, a franchise that nobody remember. Seriously now, the sales on the west are pretty telling, the AAA hollywood style games works when you have big ass sales like gears of war, assassin's creed or something like that, RE6 is going to struggle to reach 3 millions in the west probably.

Change the face of the woman sitting on the bar seat behind Chris to Carla's and I'd say that's a pretty accurate depiction of the game's story.

I played LP2 MP a few weeks ago, there about 20 people online at a time, no joke. More people play it, but that is how many you get at once. This is on PS3 and most of the players are japanese, so the matches laggy as hell.

Also, pre-made teams in Lost Planet 2 (where each team member is well aware of his role and talents w/matching customization) offers some of the most diverse and awesomely customizable team based multiplayer fun I've ever experienced in a competitive shooter. In one kinda way, I love how Capcom really shook up the multiplayer formula between each of the 3 Lost Planet releases, but on the other hand, I really wish they'd let each release basically have toggle switches to enable you to roll back to legacy rules instead of restricting you entirely to the new additions.

Also, I'm still butt hurt about how they practically just left Lost Planet 2 for dead the moment they realized it weren't pulling CoD numbers on launch and reviewers made outlandish claims such as "Episode 3-3 is IMPOSSIBLE". (And I still think it's a bit sad that they had Inafune and such go out and apologize for its lack of vision/direction and so forth.)

And the end result is flawed & unpolished in parts (not all of it). Like I said before, this game has very high high's and very low, lows. That's why I gave it a score between 6.5 and 7.5 which would basically make it a 7.0. The same score that News Bot gave it.
Now, considering the man power, resources and the money spent, the end result gives ME the impression of them being somewhat lazy and that they probably figured that the game would well anyways on the name brand alone. Even if the gameplay and general quality of the product was not exactly top grade.
Instead of trying to ride on the coat-tails of the success of RE5 they should've spent more time polishing RE6. Like Mikami did with RE4.
Fuck we can wait, right? What was the rush? The anniversary? For that, they could've just remade RE2 or released RE 1.5 and that would've kept us busy until RE6 was ready for showtime. IMO, ORC and Revelations was enough, but I guess people need their mainline/canon fix.
Anywhoo... agree to disagree and all that jazz.
I would change the lazy word by something like amateur status or incompetence, better to describle a unpolished and rushed job
They didn't succeeded in any degree like said, who are they trying to fool? Seriouly
i can't find a s* to reuse in the next game, only a bunch of lessons to what not do again

If they play their cards right, they could make RE6 into a success story.... in terms of sales at least.
