That's odd, VG charted has it at over 8 million but that says under 6 million. If it did 8 million it would be Capcom's best selling game ever.

This need some explaining. If it actually only sold ~6 million. That would definitely make RE6 seem like less of a failure.

This game in reality has sold lot less because the cumulative shipments of RE5 (PS3/360/PC) is 5.8M.

@ MiSan7573 - RE4 was a more satifying title, but RE5 is arguably more fun. They have different qualities.

something doesn't add up here!? Even accounting for the HUGE 1 month release of this game which is from 03/06-04/06 this game sold an amazing 1.6 million (360) copies for the first 4 weeks http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Resident+Evil+5+-+PS3[7675]®2=All&game2=Resident+Evil+5+-+X360[7676]®3=All&game3=&weeks=5 . Then it sold ONLY 950K for both the 360 and PS3 combined according to Capcom's report. So does that mean VGC has a heck of a OVERTRACKED for this game!!! http://www.examiner.com/x-6894-Video-Game-News-Examiner~y2010m5d10-Sales-results-for-major-Capcom-games-in-Fiscal-Year-2009?cid=exrss-Video-Game-News-Examiner

That isn't ironic at all. But if you found it disappointing you don't have to cry about it. I personally enjoyed RE5 because it felt more like a shooter.

The awards arguement isn't worth much. RE4 might have been the best game of its time. Frankly I don't remember too many great games in 2005. But RE5 was definitely not the best game of 2009.

I don't know where people get the idea that Resident Evil was a PS game because it never was!

The first Resident Evil was on Sega Saturn and PC. Resident Evil 2 was on Nintendo 64, PC, and Dreamcast. Only Resident Evil game to stay exclusive is Resident Evil 0 which has only been on Gamecube and pretty soon the Wii.

I still predict in the long run this sells better on the 360 thanks to America alone (the country that always saves 360 sales) on the other hand SFIV is going to be really damn close.

Almost everything about the game is great aside from a few things. Bosses were somewhat lackluster compared to RE4. Game was a little too short for the single player campaign. And it's quite a noticeable downgrade with controls after you play RE4 Wii edition but there's nothing they could have done about that.

However the biggest disappointment was the story. I blame it almost entirely on Shinji Mikami having nothing to do with it. Just, to me, completely ruined everything the other games had built up. It had some good parts too it but everything involved with Wesker was just not good. Disappointed me a lot. Other than that a great game.

Excellent first week, and I think it'll have some good legs. 2m is a near-lock, I think. May hit 3m worldwide, which would be great for Capcom.
