P.S. The use of caps in an internet comment mustn't always b interpretated as screaming, or as a rude gesture (at least not necessarily), they're also used to make others take notice of a special observation in a non agressive manner. Just so u know, noob...!

DAMN! Congrats @ getting pretty much everything wrong, genius! First, I don't remember blaming Crapcom for the cheaply done port, but since u mention it,... it kind of was, wasn't it? Second, about the 1st. part of your comment, no, that's bullshit. I see u have no idea what a "good margin" really is. Third, If leaving the 3ds out for the sequel was such a bad decision, they wouldn't be doing exactly that; but they are, that's cuz the first game on 3ds was a dissapointing SALES FAILURE for Crapcom and they were expecting much better from it. If you don't like it, go and make a petition to see if they change their minds about it. We all know how effective and efficient those Change.org petitions are for these sort of things, right? Hahahahahahaha, XD! About being inflamatory, no, I just don't like all the fanboy bullshit here and I call it for it. If u and others are so in denial or so stupid to only want to see inflamatory behavior or trolling instead of valid criticism, that's your choice. Besides, the same could be said about others, but as long as they are defending everything Ninty related, it's all good I guess! And,... "Stop being screaming?"... "BEING screaming"????!!!! Really?!!... I don't know if I'm begging 2b moderated, but u sure should b begging for a better education. Good luck with that change.org petition, lol XD!

Wait...I can't...what? Leaving the 3DS was an ass-backwards decision if ever there was one. The 3DS version of this sold the most by a good margin. And the port being done cheaply isn't the 3DS's fault, it's Capcom and their inability to make intelligent decisions concerning where their resources go. Stop being screaming like a child and being inflammatory, btw. You're just begging to be moderated.

"Making it EXCLUSIVE FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME" on 3ds damaged it. That's pretty much the sum of what I typed b4 in regards to that, not just the fact of releasing it for it. Once again, some of u really need 2 have a better comprehension of the stuff you read. THAT temporary exclusivity was indeed, A PISS POOR & TERRIBLE DECISION about it. The whole sales declining thing is just a lame excuse. If u want better sales 4 ur product, then make a good product (RE game) instead of giving fans something they never asked for, like spin offs, on rail shotters, or more action and less horror. The "cheaper to make for 3ds" thing doesn't cut it either, since it makes nothing to explain that initial exclusivity. In d end, the home consoles just got a CHEAP port of that version with minor graphical improvements and the convenience of a much bigger and better screen, but that was it,... oh, also support for trophies/achievements, for those who care about it. Hell, they might as well should've done that from the beginning, but everyone knows what that time exclusivity was all about, of course. Now that there isn't any type of deal in place,... what did Crapcom decide to do???!!! They decide to release THE DIRECT SEQUEL for almost everything else, but the original platform that received da 1st. game; tragic for some, but HILARIOUS for everyone else. That proves that is about profits, alright,.. being as much profitable as they can with Revelations 2, and bcuz of it, it's precisely that the 3ds was left out this time around.

Releasing the game on the 3ds did nothing to damage the franchise, thats only your opinion, its not a fact. You keep on saying its a fact doesn't make it so. Sales have been steadily declining game by game fir resi so releasing a cheaper to make game for 3ds was not the worst decision. For me its in my top five games for the system. Games don't have to sell millions and millions on a handheld to turn a profit.

U wanna see something really awful n' pathetic? That's ur reading comprehension, for sure. I wrote that it was the decision to make the game timed-exclusive to 3ds what damaged the franchise, (even more) and therefore, its initial further appeal AND SALES. I never said anything bad about the quality of the game itself. Revelations is far from perfection, but it's better than the other last 3 R.E. games that Crapcom published.

It's still a fucking sales failure for the franchise, you moronic whining bitch. And how much has the 3ds sold since, huh?! Basically, what I typed b4 was correct,... it was A TERRIBLE DECISION TO MAKE REVELATIONS TIME EXCLUSIVE TO THE KID FRIENDLY & WEAK 3ds, the game always felt out of place there, it would've been MUCH BETTER to put it somewhere else from the start, and yes, Crapcom just damaged the R.E. franchise even further by doing so.

Crapcom idiots! Things like this r exactly why that company is in the state it is. It was a terrible decision to make Revelations time exclusive on 3ds. It would've sold much better had it been available on PS3/360 from the beginning. Revelations sold miserably on 3ds considering the install base, and the game itself always looked out of place in that lil' kiddy handheld. Lol Crapcom, whatever money Nintendo paid u clearly wasn't worth it. U just damaged the R.E. franchise even further, XD.

The flaw in your argument is you're ignoring the PS360 have massive libraries with countless noteworthy titles. The 3DS on the other hand doesn't have many noteworthy titles, so I find it surprising more 3DS owners didn't get this game.

Anyhow, I'm not here to crap on the 3DS. The 3DS and this game are great. However, I'm bothered by these lackluster numbers because they don't encourage publishers to bring more core games to the 3DS.

Revelations could only bump up in sales at the moment by way of a PRICE CUT. I keep reading on the web about people being on the fence about this game. And the only thing stopping them is the current retail price. The game could be sold for $29.99 tops. But it's still usually selling for $40-35 bucks (plus tax). Unless Capcom gives it a price cut soon, there will be no sales bump. 3DS XL or no 3DS XL. Only a price cut would do it. It may happen after it's first year on the market. And when and if it goes down to $19.99, you will see this game sell like crazy. Until then, a lot of people are on the fence.

I'm very interested in seeing how the 3DS XL impacts core titles like his and KI:U. Unlike the Dsi XL which had the most appeal for and was marketed to seniors. Many people who would be considered a part of the core audience seem to now have a much larger interest in the 3DS many said that the XL would push them to jump in first day. Though I'm sure MK7 and SM3DL will benefit the most, I curious if core titles vs. casual will see bumps.

I really hope that Capcom will share the true sales number with us and hopefully not the number sold to retailers, but instead sold (though how many copies were sold to retailers is what matters to them in terms of profit I believe).

I agree with phantomlink nem. I think you misunderstand the difference between capcom shipping to retailers and actual games sold. I wish your numbers were right though as that would make me happy as a resi fan.

Its not that i dont believe the possibility phantom, but they explicitly say the numbers up are sales numbers. They can be lieing, we dont really know for sure, but i'm just going with the official numbers here until theres a trustworthy source saying otherwise.

Shipped = sold to retailers, that's the money that counts to CAPCOM. If MH3G is more in line with VGC numbers is because it wasn't overshipped like SSF43D and is still selling.

Phantomlink, check this link here http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html on number 50 and read the bit up-top. Its sales numbers according to them.
I'm extrapolating the number for this game based on how undertracked SSF43D is and im beeing pessimistic about it. I doubt theres 400k copies of SSF43D on retailers shops right now.
Notice also that number 29 MH3G seems to be more in line with what we have here on VGC.

@Nem. Capcom figures are shipped copies, not sold to costumers.

Given how undertracked SSF43D is (by 400k) i am guessing this games real sales must be on the 700-800k units at this point.

@Cold Light

2) Well, if you're trying to sell something to a crowd that barely knows your brand and you don't advertise it and even refuse to give it a decent sales pitch (like Capcom did with Revelations on the 3DS), you cannot possibly blame that crowd for not buying your product. And even if you try to come up with excuses as to why you don't advertise it properly ("that crowd doesn't look like they will like my product, so I won't spend a penny advertising it to them"), nothing you can come up with will change the fact that you have only yourself to blame. So yeah, Capcom-Unity gets all the blame here for not putting some effort in selling their wares on the 3DS. They must know that M rated games and RE games are not exactly established on handhelds. So it was a no brainer to at least set aside a budget to market Revelations. But they really didn't. And the results are right there for all to see. Capcom in Japan advertised Revelations a bit more and they sold more units than Capcom-Unity did. Same game, same crowd, different sales tactic. Different results.

3) I think Vita will bounce back. But presently, according to recent reports, the best selling game in the NA market is Uncharted for Vita and it has only sold a bit higher than the 100k mark. While the other games barely sell from 50 to 80k. Sony needs to fix this situation and they will at E3 (I hope).

The sales are quite good for a first year console and rumors say that were gonna get a new resident evil on 3DS starring claire and the 2 resi movies in 3D at the end of the year.
This game sold very well, the development costs arent high and were shared with SF43D and mercenaries and i suppose the upcoming RE:downfall. Capcom is no doubt making loads of making off this.
It certainly wouldnt be able to do it on the Vita, with a much smaller installed base and higher development costs.

@ AngryAztec:
1) k
2) Point number one is that you are blaming only Capcom and their poor marketing, but maybe Nintendo handheld gamers generally weren't really interested in RE:R. And point number two is you thinking that people all around are stating that Vita version would sell more than 3DS one. It is pretty impossible and port could be only an improvement of this game's overall performance. It could be close, but no more. And maybe it would increase popularity of handheld RE games.
3) I admit all problems of Vita, hell, I don't even going to buy one until some really serious reasons come. But all that doom crap is crazy and often pointless. And ignorant, yes.
4) Capcom is doing a lot of bullshit today. DLC, marketing, killing its own franchises, losing key people. But some decisions could be right. And I think decision to narrow the audience of this game is silly. Yes, today RE on handhelds isn't looking popular and it's bad.

@Cold Light -

1) GTA Chinatown Wars sold better on DS than PSP. Regardless by how much. It's kinda ridiculous to say that it didn't by "quite a lot" since the point was that it still sold better on DS. And digital sales back in the early days when the game came out didn't make a dent in terms of revenue. I dunno why you even went with this, considering what I said still stands as fact. DS version sold better. If you have tangible proof of the contrary, provide a valid link that says it did. If not, then shut it.

2) Too much ignorance in your own reply (I treat you the same way as you treat me here, do you like it?). It's ignorant if you think "Nintendo platforms" are one and the same. They're not. You can't compare the Wii with the 3DS or even the DS with the 3DS. Each platform provides unique challenges and opportunities. Even if on the Wii, Capcom screwed the RE brand name by failing to deliver games that the user base wanted (games like RE4, which was a hit on Wii and not on-rail games). So you got different and specific situations with each "Nintendo platform". And this happens because unlike what you think, Nintendo gamers don't actually play on all Nintendo consoles. Some of them are handheld gamers. Some of them never play on handhelds. Another big fail in your reply, is that didn't notice that MAHTOORE games don't exactly have a very long track record on handhelds. Especially RE games. Unlike on home consoles, the RE brand name has yet to become popular with HANDHELD GAMERS. That has yet to happen on any handheld. And another thing that made your reply ignorant (sorry but you went there), is when you talk about my points being ignorant and yet you agreed that Capcom sends out games to die by not advertising them properly. Congrats for agreeing with my "ignorant" point.

3) Don't be so sensitive whenever someone talks about the Vita without using rose-colored glasses. The fact is the Vita barely has any system selling software on it. Proof of it is the lackluster sales of the hardware on every market out there. This actually happened with the 3DS as well after it launched. So no, no one is "bashing" the Vita here. The Vita can still recover and continue having a long life. The point is, Uncharted is undeniably the best title the Vita has and it still has sold the same amount as Revelation has worldwide. And unlike Uncharted, Revelations has had no advertising and a lot of competition. So, there is nothing at all that would make anyone with a forehead think that game would sell better on a system like Vita. When it's best title (Uncharted) has not exactly sold better than Revelations.

4) Capcom didn't mention Revelation because they weren't thinking of issuing a budget to promote it. That just wasn't in the cards. Unlike you, Capcom Japan was a bit more realistic with how the RE brand sells on haldhelds and didn't see any indication that it would suddenly start selling like on home consoles, where the brand was already established as a certifiable hit (with RE5). That's why instead of using money to promote Revelations, they instead went with promoting the hell out of Operation Raccoon City. Because such a twitchy game was a sure bet on home consoles. And there was minimal risk with that game becoming a hit. What with all the CoD fans on home consoles (and almost none on handhelds).

@ AngryAztec:
1) DS version of GTA: Chinatown Wars has less than 300k advantage above PSP version (remember, there are also digital sales of PSP version which aren't tracked). That's not quite a lot. Anyway, game underperformed everywhere.
2) Too much ignorance in your words. Yeah, RE is the most popular mature-rated series on the Nintendo platforms, but there are already two examples of its games on 3DS that weren't huge hits. 3DS owners just care much more about other types of games. Even if it was poorly marketed, Capcom guys show themselves as idiots when they are producing big-budgeted title and just throwing it on the street without proper advertising.
3) I can understand Vita bashing (it really has a lot of troubles to solve), but Uncharted will sell much more with time. It's one of the biggest titles here and still worth 50 bucks and it isn't bundled. It will more than double its current numbers later. There is no alternative at this moment.
4) And yes, there is fine perspective to sell some Revelations on Vita with minimum costs of porting. RE series is popular on PlayStation platforms as well, you know. Finally, in Capcom's financial report this game is barely mentioned in line with niche Asura's Wrath and UMvC3. And it's not a very good sign for RE:R's performance.

@Conegamer, because the game was sent out to die with little promotion. There is a lack of awareness of the product within the 3DS user base. And even among those that have heard about it, they haven't been given the adequate sales pitch. Mostly because Capcom-Unity can be arsed to do it. Instead they're hoping that regular fans will promote the games and do their job for FREE.

@Heavenly_King - LOL Dude, GTA Chinatown Wars actually sold WORSE on the PSP. It actually sold a lot better on the DS. Get informed son.

And another thing, the Vita best and practically the only title to really own on that system (Uncharted) has sold pretty much the same units worldwide as Revelations did on the 3DS. And unlike on Vita, Revelations had a ton of competition from other games. Games that were better advertised and promoted. Considering the lackluster sales of the Vita at the moment, I dunno what makes you even think Revelations would sell better there. Since the problem is not with the platform, but with Capcom-Unity's tendency to send games out to die, unless they're ACTION games designed for twitch gamers.
