Capcom's worldwide target for MH4U (including digital dl version) is 3.9million (they shipped 2 million in Japan in the middle of Oct, which means 1.9 million to go)

They are also aiming to have Revelations 2 be a million seller

Those are very reasonable expectations for Resident Evil. I am surprised.

Its going to be episodic right? They will count each episode as a copy sold?

SexyFish · Oct 31, 2014

Seems like they're underestimating Revelations 2, does it not?

Yeah it does. It's on like, four consoles right?

Maybe they learned from DmC not to overestimate sales

Capcom having grounded expectations? Square Enix actually showing us awesome stuff regarding FFXV?

Could this be a new age of enlightenment we've entered?

Regarding Capcom, I'm actually glad they are doing this. Totally awesome of them!

Well the first Revelaitons didn't do that well and they're neglecting to release the sequel on the system where the first game achieved most of its sales, so...

They're going to meet Monster Hunter's expectations mostly because of Europe, but that's not to say that the US won't take a huge dent in it as well.

But only 1 million for Resident Evil...? I'm surprised, I'd at least expect 2 million. Especially because the game will be on multiple platforms.

It sold the best on 3ds? Really? Well now I'm even sadder that the new game is passing on it.

Not really surprised at 1 million. That's probably for the best. Even if it's on multiple systems, you can never be too sure.

MrNyarlathotep · Oct 31, 2014

Didn't the first Revelaitions only do about a million WW too?

How is episodic counted? Is a sale of episode 1 and 2 to the same person consitute as a single unit of sale?

Alo81 · Oct 31, 2014

Since people are asking - from Capcom's "Platinum" titles (aka top 50 best selling games of all time)

Razgriz-Specter · Oct 31, 2014

I think Rev 2 will do much better than 1, even with the HD rerelease people still wrote it off as a 3DS game.

Why isn't Capcom counting the 3DS numbers here? I thought it sold quite well on the handheld.

Well, that's not too far off, to be honest. I only played the PC version and I really liked it but, while it started out very good and almost felt like a return to the series' roots, after a while it really started to suffer from originally being a 3DS game. It felt underwhelming in a "well, I'm sure this was pretty great for a 3DS game but... meh" kinda way.

Duxxy3 · Oct 31, 2014

Way too reasonable on that RE prediction. Should far exceed it.

RatskyWatsky · Oct 31, 2014

That's a very fair expectation for RevRev 2. With this and Hellblade, I hope to see more devs/pubs make these smaller budget games that A: cater to more specific audiences and B: don't require 10+ million sales to break even.

Nuke Soda · Oct 31, 2014

Too bad Capcom doesn't know the secret to exceeding expectations, have none.

Oh boy we sold 2 copies, this exceeds our expectations.

ArtHands · Oct 31, 2014

I think capcom's fiscal year ends at the end of march, so it really depend when they are releasing Revelations 2 to see if that aim is reasonable or not
