Resident Evil 6 Shipping 7 Million Copies Is Very Likely

Yesterday, Capcom released the shipping figures that they expect for their big upcoming games this fiscal year and Resident Evil 6 was pegged at shipping 7 million copies. While that may seem like a lofty target, it actually has a pretty good chance of happening and here’s why.

if its good it will.

[Blastoise]

Resident evil Raccoon city wasnt good...that sold loads anyway

[Dante112]

Word. I'd be shocked if RE6 didn't make those numbers.

[Blastoise]

@Dante112 Yeah and this is the next main title not even a spinoff. To be fair though resident evil 6 looks pretty good

[TrendyGamers]

Yeah, it has already shipped 2 million.

[NYC_Gamer]

Hmmm...it could behind the Resi brand name plus with the addition of mainstream online modes...

[WeskerChildReborned]

Anything with Resident Evil in the name will sell. Example, Resident Evil Opertation Raccoon City.

[Criminal]

I'm excited for what they're doing with the Co-Op in this game.

[TrendyGamers]

I'm just excited for RE6 in general.

[MistaDonzie]

What are they doing that's new for the co-op? Me and my GF LOVED playing through RE 5's co-op--even though it wasnt scary. If it wasnt for the co-op, I would have hated RE 5 since it wasnt very thrilling or scary.

[FarCryLover182]

I hope it sells enough to recoup development costs, but I don't want them to make a killing profit wise. I do not want them to continue the series in this manner. If they could make a console/pc version of RE that is like RE Revelations, then Capcom...you could have my money!!

[BringingTheThunder]

you dont want an RE7?

[FarCryLover182]

Well, yeah I do. I just hope this game is good. From what I've seen so far, my hopes are low.

[Lord_Sloth]

If they advertise during the Walking Dead it will. Honestly advertising is what Capcom lacked and yet they never seemed to grasp that. They always thought it was the fact that they weren't western.

[shodan74]

Well, I won't be getting it. Not a fan of the more action-oriented approach the series has gone down I'm afraid.

[pbasson]

7 Million, very optimistic. Does any one remember who we are dealing with Capcom, for all we know a Ultimate RE6 may be in the works as we speak.

[aDDicteD]

lol yup that's very likely of capcom

[Regent_of_the_Mask]

It's not likely at all. I'd be surprised if they even got rid of 1 million copies of this garbage. It's not a horror series anymore, they admitted to that and said it's just going to be an action series from now, zombies have guns, and you'll likely have content locked away on the disc like RE5's multiplayer was.

If you buy this game then you're retarded.

[aDDicteD]

it has a chance when capcom stop's their dlc milking crap
