One Million Resident Evil 4 Units Shipped
The game has already sold a million on the Gamecube and a million on the PS2 – how can one expect it to sell another million on the Wii? Well, Resident Evil 4 is on its way to do just that, as Capcom today announced that the company has shipped over one million units worldwide; each copy is being sold for $29.99.
This brings up the series total to 33 million units as of October 30, and so is valued as one of Capcom’s strongest original intellectual properties. As expected, the Wii version makes use of the console’s motion sensitive controller and some new content.
Capcom is also betting on the popular survival-horror series with new titles including Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. It has also made three hugely successful live-action films made in the Hollywood and is also working in partnership with Sony Pictures to make an animated CG film.
