Gameindustry.biz is reporting that Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 is at the top of the Japanese sales charts this week.
The game sold some 91,000 units in its first week on sale, which is a fairly decent number, but compares unfavourably with the 227,000 units sold in the same timeframe by its predecessor – suggesting that the online version of the game may not have legs as a franchise after all.
… but when you consider that the game was probably little more than an art swap for Capcom, 91k units in a week doesn’t sound too bad at all.
I imagine a lot of titles would be lucky to
sell 91,000 games period. I think those
kids at Capcom will be in business a bit
longer 🙂
