Even if it did do 900k, it will be a result of massive channel stuffing,and unit price will collapse in such situations.
We know how bady the game sold in Japan and also heard things about it in EU. Would USA alone account for 600k? Not if we believe the NPD September results,...
The quote itself is suggestive that the game was a cheap port. After all, the Switch is easy to develop on and this is a port of a 3ds game. It doesn't need to sell much to be profitable.
I kinda agree with you, but TBF it should be over 300k by now

I like how they haven't updated the Mega Man image since EXE OSS.
Yeah it really seems that Capcom expected the Switch to bomb terribly, maybe even more than the Wii U.
But three of those aren't even RELEASED yet, they literally can't count those.
It crawled to sub 200k after so long in Japan. Given that i shipped 200k to Japan, I am not sure how not selling through first shipment is "strong". What does "strong" even mean when you think about that, channel stuffing isn't strength of any kind. It only makes sense if their expectations are rock bottom IMO.
Do you believe it sold through all 100k in Asia? Nintendo's weakest region? Probably hasn't sold first shipment there as well.

They tried that with Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and people always complain about how "cheap" the game looks.
Isn't that exactly what they did with 7?
Last i remember is that it wasn't nearly as expensive as 5 or 6.
Well apparently Capcom lowered RE7's budget and sales target, and yet it still underperformed. How much lower can it go?

I kind of regret purchasing this back when I did only for the fact that it's still in my backlog I think I paid $38ish and now it will be for sale for $15 on Black Friday at Target. I definitely think I'll enjoy the game and that it's worth what I paid though.
I'm thinking Monster Hunter World will do well as long as Capcom doesn't have some insane goal for it.

MH World is the first HD console MH (more expensive, drastically lower userbase in Japan) and will rely heavily on western sales. I think expectations will be pretty high.
THey complained, but how did it sell? Looking at Steamspy the game is close to million on PC, so I wonder what the return on investment was. And if there's maybe a middle ground between Rev2 and RE7 budget they could target
I guess based on the wording here " Cumulative " , Then I guess the +400K in the last quarter includes the Pre order shipments for the Gold Edition
It's an okay game. I love the Bakers, unfortunately that is all I really cared for and I feel like their stories ended far too quickly. Once they move out of focus, there really isn't anything interesting to grasp on to.
It has it's moments that make it worth playing for sure and I think the first person perspective really works for Resident Evil. I just wish we would have gotten more enemy designs, a return to the undead from classic games and a bit more in the way of mansion exploration. Let me get lost in your world again.
The game just falls apart around the 60% mark, turns into an uninteresting fps with terrible bullet sponge enemies and no tension. Worth playing but it's only baby steps in the right direction for a company that seems to still fear some of it's roots.

Everyone that buys RE6 makes the right choice in my eyes. I hope Capcom has learned their lessons and attempts to make RE8 in a less bloated RE6 style. So more like RE4-5 than 6.
I mean that series of games literally spans a decade. Hell for some between those and the movies that is RE to them
It's a great game. A lot of the classic RE design sensibilities carry it though. Which is good, but it would probably be an even stronger title if it went more in that direction.
And I'm not talking about camera perspective, but level design and item management. Combat needs some work too though.

RE7 is one of the best horror games I've played in a long time, so it actually makes me kinda sad to see it not selling as many copies as RE6 did.
Basically. I stepped in at RE2, and that had solid moments of action by the time we left the Police Station. Hell, the first scene is a major car crash and you are already surrounded by zombies.
It didn't come out until October. Though I think physical shipments were extremely low.
The steam spy results and sales will be skewered because the first episode became free afterwards, anyone who downloaded it 'has' the game but hasn't bought the 'DLC' (the rest of the game). Considering that, 1m isn't great.
Well with RE6 being one of the best sellers in the series what do you expect? People like both styles and some people like one or the other. I'm pretty sick of this 'war' between sides that's been going on since 4 came out. All of the RE games have found an audience so why do we have to belittle each other's tastes?
And believe me, I've been here from RE2's release. I'm pretty fed up with the obnoxious superiority reactions / posts some fans throw at each other regarding this series.
