Quote Taken from Capcom’s financial report.
“Regarding Home Video Games segment, “Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles” (for Wii), which is the latest title of the series, achieved robust sales particularly in the US and Europe. The popularity of this title helped to make a favorable start in year-end sales.
Additionally, “Monster Hunter Freedom 2”, which was released in February 2007, joined the lineup of Capcom’s long-selling products achieving sales of over 1.5 million copies in Japan. “Monster Hunter Freedom 2” is the first title to achieve these record sales among those developed for PlayStation Portable.
In this business segment, “Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles” (for Wii), one of our flagship titles, made a strong showing. “Zack&Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure” (for Wii) and “Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes” (for Wii, PlayStation 2) also grew steadily.
“WE LOVE GOLF!” (for Wii) and “Mega Man Star Force 2” (for Nintendo DS) saw sluggish growth.”
RE.UC has sold through 950,000 units, and Zack and Wiki has sadly only sold through 300,000 units.
