Resident Evil 5: Zombie basher saves the day for console makers

Traditionally, January and February have always been slow periods for the gaming industry, but new data suggests a rebound. It only took couple of games to nudge the ailing console sales into a higher gear and revitalize interest in both the PS3 and Xbox 360. New releases like Killzone 2 and Yakuza 3, which launched earlier this month, are already showing a positive impact on not only game sales but also PS3 hardware. But it was last Friday's launch of Resident Evil that have sent the sales up of both PS3 and Xbox 360.
