Resident Evil 6 'lost its momentum' to fall 2M short of target

the fact that 4.8 million people bought this turd of a game shows that brainwashed fanboys will buy anything.

What's next? Resident Evil soap to wash their brains? come on guys, RE6 is garbage and everyone knows it; read the pro reviews!

Maybe if it wasn't a pandering fest the game would have been better. I have no problem with updating it for the times or changing it if needed. I am not even against the idea of making it more action like if it can be done right or keeping the horror. I am sure before Persona 3 came out and people heard Atlus was adding a social element people probably thought that was stupid because why make your character have to go to high school in an RPG where you are saving the world? Of coarse now if Atlus did not include a social element in Persona 5 people would be outraged. Change can be good but it needs to be done right. The reason Resident Evil 4 was good is because you can tell Capcom put some effort into it where as with 6 they wanted to make an action packed game to try and capitalize on games like COD and Gears.

"If you're interested in innovation and believe that games could be more than shooters, then you realise that sequels kill creativity and innovation " david cage .. if they reboot the series i wont buy it ..

I hope Capcom loses more money after the debacles of Resident Evil 6 and DmC: Devil May Cry. Oh wait, my dreams are coming true, thank Capcum~

What the hell is "survival horror" anyway? How having this "survival horror" would suddenly make the game better? This whole argument is so stupid.

I enjoyed 6 but not like I did the others in the series. It is time to bring the horror back. Resident Evil catapulted survival-horror. It can do it again.

Don't play stupid Capcom, we know we confuse you with buying millions of copies of Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 but you are not listening to the feedback. You know what we want. Compare critic/user response of Resident Evil 6 to Resident Evil Revelations and you have your answer. Too busy looking at sales numbers Capcom. Styles like Resident Evil Revelations may not sell 10 million copies but it will provide a good source of steady profit each installment.

I can guarantee that if Capcom listens to the whining "fans" and release a game like they demand, it will flop even worse in sales. Why? Because the butthurt whiners are not really fans. They are just bandwagon haters. These people just hate Resident Evil, period, and would not buy a game in the series.

oh christ here comes the bandwagon hate comments...(re6/DmC were both phenomenal IMO)

Let's hope Shinji Mikami's ZWEI will show the way once more.

Fact : the majority of butthurt gamers who bash Resident Evil 6 never played the game.

Both games were viciously attacked by butthurt fanboys who didn't even play those games for the most part. The amount of immaturity is ridiculous.

What a relief those two monstrosities were financial disappointments. Now maybe Capcom will reexamine the way they have been treating their fans lately. I just hope against hope the same happens with Dead Space 3 this week.

Lets just hope Dead Space 3 hasnt got the same fate as RE6

Oh, Capcom is thinking of rebooting Resident Evil now, huh? Resident Evil: Twilight? Buncha chain-smoking transvestite-looking emo's cursing like sailors and killing zombie's? No thanks, Capcom. You don't have to reboot the series... did the DmC fiasco not teach you anything? Stop being idiots and just bring back survival horror and stop trying so hard to change and evolve the games. Just give fans what they want and you'll have your sales.

Where is Dino Crisis?

In keeping with the current trends don't be surprised if someday you see articles with titles like "Lego Resident Evil Coming In 2014".

*YAWN*...this is the very reason why I couldn't...and still can't get into the past survival horror titles. Too much back tracking, running past enemies instead of killing them...just boring.

Capcom hasn't been on my good side lately but I do agree with the direction they are taking the series by adding more action. However, I do believe that it needs a bit more of the horror aspect..I can do without the survival

If you think a game series can stay the same for eternity you're an idiot. RE4 was way different from RE 1, 2 & 3 yet it got lots of praise. RE6 isn't all that different from 4 and many things are done even better. You're simply stupid if you think majority of people want to play oldskool horror games in modern graphics. YOU NEED A CHANGE TO STAY WITH THE TIMES. I didn't put that in capitals without a good reason. I paid a retain price for RE6 and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't like Chris' campaign but all the other campaigns are great. One other thing: RE series hasn't been scary for years. RE4 and RE5 weren't scary either. You have to accept that fact. If you want a scary game, look elsewhere. They're not out of market yet.
