when a GC third party sold a million it was a flop! when 360 does its a success!

The Guys at capcom are hypocrits! when RE4 sold 1 mllion on he GCN they cried out flop. But when lost planet sells 1 million on the 360,

They celebrate. we shouldnt even buy there garbage on the wii!!!!!

They may be viewing Resident Evil 4 in terms of the rest of the series.  Lost planet was an original game without an established following.

well ,consider re4 came out late in gc life cycle with around 20 mil. user base plus there're no game on gc worth owning for 6 months before that it should do a lot better.

On the other hand, 360 only has 10 mil. user base and a lot of good games coming out at the time, selling 1 mil. isn't bad at all

Looking at the time frame is the key here.

Different budgets, differen sales goals. You can't compare the amout of money Capcom spend in RE4 to what they spend in Dead Rising.

Plus RE was already a deep installed franchise and was supposed to do much better than that. 

I am not sure what Capcom expected. Resident Evil 4, although a good game, is very different from the rest of the series. Capcom abandoned the story after CV and made Resident Evil 4. I didn't buy it at launch (even though I had a Gamecube) because it did not follow the story of other Resident Evil games and it didn't have any zombies. I finally ended up buying it when it came out for the PS2. I gave it a chance and liked it but you can't say that about every other Resident Evil fan before RE4. Some were disapointed by it.....some don't even like it.

What I don't understand is why did Capcom have to change the enemies etc. We could still have the same control with zombies and the story could have continued from CV.

Well, you could argue that the ZOMBIEZ horse was pretty much beaten half-to-death, and learning that it didn't revolve around the same old T-Virus crap is exactly what made me want to pick it up, it was a Resident Evil I hadn't beaten already!
