What do you get when you add waggle to one of the most critically acclaimed games ever, and then slap a $29.99 price tag on it? You get over 1 million units shipped worldwide, that’s what!
Today, Capcom announced that Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition has hit the 1 million unit shipped milestone. Imagine that, an M-rated "hardcore" title selling by the boat load on the Wii! Hey, maybe people actually will buy these kinds of games for the Nintendo’s console if they’re actualy — gasp — good! Hey Valve, are you listening?
It remains to be seen whether or not Capcom can repeat the success with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which hits shelves on November 13 … the same day Super Mario Galaxy is in stores. Ouch.
