Shut the hell up. You post the same thing on every comment. The west doesn't buy JRPGs and Japan buys Apple which is from the US. You should at least know wtf you're talking about when you post stuff like that

Looking at these numbers, you can see why Capcom went more towards action. This is what consumers want.

Will reach 5mil before the end of the year. People will buy it due to hype for RE6.
Nice to see sales so much high than the 360 version. Why the hell Capcom would give Raccoon City and Resident Evil 6 exclusive content on 360 is beyond me.

Wait 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 1.7 million (PS3) 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

I:/ Dude, m1987mp, cool it. I for one could see immediately that RE5 wasn't going to be as good as RE4. It had the same tired control scheme (which was great in RE4, but outdated now) and wasn't scary. RE4 was truly frightening and the characters at least had some depth. In RE5, Sheva and Chris basically have no reason to get all lovey-dovey when they do. I was gagging during that "emotional" scene because there was zero character development outside of the whole Spencer Estate thing. Get a grip, this game was not as good as past entries.

@m1987mp: You should probably calm down mate, alot of people consider this the poorest main series entry. While it's by no means a bad game, it's certainly not up to par with the earlier entries. It has very little of what originally made RE successful, it's basically a TPS.

Umm... Ok...
If you hate the new direction the franchise has taken, why buy the games?
I get the fact that you're a RE fan, but why pay 50$ for something you don't even like? That's just... weird...
Hell, if you hate the new games, why are you even a RE fan in the first place? If you're a fan of the old RE games, but hate the new ones, then just... stick to the old ones...
