Sad for such a good game.

Hmm...maybe now this will cause Capcom to stop milking the Resident Evil cow for a while and go back to some of their other franchises *cough* Onimusha.

They also delayed MH 4 for the 3DS in Japan.

Wow. $1 billion difference is pretty major.

I hope they actually make it to their expected sales. This was a great game. I am sure it will still be enough to make a RE7.

Well that really sucks for them. I love Capcom and always wish them the best. I was hoping RE6 would do much better then it did.

I'm surprised by the hate for this game. I loved it but some still preffer 5 despite its ancient controlls and pathetic story. It makes no sense to me.

Yea it was " initially strong but subsequently weakened" cause everyone was really hyped over the new Resident Evil game and then got our hopes crushed when it sucked. So yea, you guys aren't gonna get much money from people, cause you made a bad game. Coming from a long time RE fan, I wish they would just stop making the Resident Evil games. The classics will always be amazing and 4 really was my favorite, but 5&6 were just terrible. I get that they are trying something new to bring in more fans, which obviously didn't work, but now they are pushing away their older fanbase. IDK, but I've lost all hope in the Resident Evil franchise. P.S. Also, stop making those god awful movies as well. There is no point in Alice shooting zombies in right black latex except to give us guys wowzers in our trousers. Plus, how is it that it's a zombie apocalypse, but some how Alice and Jill always look like they just came back from a day at the spa? Answer me that?

I personally loved the game, but what do you expect. RE fans have been demanding a true return to survival horror for years, and Capcom didn't deliver. I guess they finally decided to speak with their wallets this time.

The game was definitely hurt by the unfair review scores. Far from the best RE game, but it was a fun ride, better than average. That said, here's to hoping Capcom will bring the series back around to what the fans and critics seems to want, survival horror.

I recently restarted Director's Cut and realized how much I missed that feeling of finally getting whatever type of key and and venturing into the unknown.

People need to take the game for it is. Trying to keep up with the modern day shooters isn't going to fair well. It's a sad thing that most people choose to play Call of Duty or Halo or whatever the popular shooter is. It's all about what you prefer, I hate to see that the sells are going to be that major for Capcom. I own RE6 which it's sort of like someone has to pull my arm for me to even get through some of the game. I hate feeling like that especially for my much love for RE. As I've gotten older though I've seen my taste for games change a little bit, RPG's are starting to take over my backlog collection at the house. Capcom you need to start bringing a new/old feel to the games, Enough said. Not that my opinion matters lol

I was actually thinking about picking it up soon because of the update that recently came out fixing the camera.

Although I don't think RE6 is a bad game by any means, Capcom kind of deserved this. Hopefully it'll wake them up to make a traditional survival-horror RE that harkens back to RE4. That would sell and be much better than RE6.

This is all too customary when a long-standing franchise goes through an identity crisis. Stop trying to turn Resident Evil into a run and gun action adventure theme park Capcom. Respect yourselves, respect your franchise, and respect your fans. Take Resident Evil back to it's core horror/survival roots, which is the reason why the franchise became so huge to begin with.

Bring back Breathe of Fire.

Even though I enjoyed RE 6 better than 5 it was still not the major improvement they boasted.

I liked it but until they take away some action and add some survival horror back into it at about a 50/50 ratio the sales will keep declining with every new game until they have to cancel the series.

I also believe their exclusive DLC deals with Microsoft is hurting their sales with people that only own a PS3/PC.

well, thats sad.

Can't say I am sad to read this one. It was a terrible game that went against everything Resident Evil stood for in order to deliver us one of the most generic shooters of recent memory. Add on top of that the fact that it wasn't even playable, and you have yourself a recipe for disaster. Hopefully this teaches Capcom a very important lesson. Stop trying to appeal to everyone. Resident Evil 4 sold over 8 million copies. Was that not enough money for you? You had to go and make it even more action oriented with RE5, which again sold over 8 million copies. Was that not enough money for you? The problem was, you burned us all with RE5. We told you we didn't like how you pretty much moved the entire franchise to the action genre. We told you that we wouldn't keep buying more RE games if you kept trying to make them into shooters. You didn't listen, and now you are paying the price. I hope you've learned your lesson.

I hope this doesn't affect the development of other franchises or new IP's; and maybe any new Resident Evil game might be a little closer to reality. Are they really still survival horror?
