And by optimistic I mean they say it\u2019s going to be their biggest game ever. Currently they\u2019re putting their projections at 7 million units across <a title=\"Xbox 360\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19882-Xbox-360\">Xbox 360<\/a>, <a title=\"Playstation 3 (PS3)\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19888-Playstation-3-(PS3)\">PS3<\/a> and <a title=\"PC Gaming\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/21037-PC-Gaming\">PC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The game has been a big project for the Japanese publisher, and will include popular characters from the whole series. The projected 7 million may not be a pipe dream, considering Resident Evil 5 managed to score a global 5.8 million units sold. In order to be Capcom\u2019s best game ever, Resident Evil 6 will have to surpass the current champ, Street Fighter II, which sold 6.3 million copies.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just Resident Evil Capcom has consulted their crystal ball on, predicting Devil May Cry to launch this year with around 2 million sold, as well as a number of 1.5 million on Dragon\u2019s Dogma and 1.4 million on Lost Planet 3.<\/p>\n<p>They have not yet confirmed if the world is going to end in 2012, but that would be in conflict with the Lost Planet 3 prediction.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"Gamesindustry.biz\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2012-05-11-resident-evil-hopes-to-sell-7-million-says-capcom\" target=\"_blank\">GamesIndustry<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Resident Evil 6 Platinum Edition revealed \u2013 sell your children\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/35845-resident-evil-6-platinum-edition-revealed-sell-your-children.html\" target=\"_blank\">Resident Evil 6 Platinum Edition revealed \u2013 sell your children<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/35738-resident-evil-6-features-3-campaign-stories-video-and-screenshots.html\">Resident Evil 6 features 3 campaign stories \u2013 video and screenshots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/34699-where-to-get-your-gamer-swag.html\">Where to get your gamer swag<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/35668-resident-evil-operation-raccoon-city-review-ps3.html\">Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/33201-special-edition-xbox-360-4gb-kinect-coming-to-sa.html\">Special edition Xbox 360 4GB Kinect coming to SA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"E3 2012: The games that will be there\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/37086-e3-2012-the-games-that-will-be-there.html\" target=\"_blank\">E3 2012: The games that will be there<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Predicts 7 million copies sold across all platforms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":35761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[31,1502,1816,2251,3317,2037,2894],"class_list":["post-37664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-capcom","tag-devil-may-cry","tag-dragons-dogma","tag-lost-planet-3","tag-resident-evil-6","tag-street-fighter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37664"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37689,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37664\/revisions\/37689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
