News:: Resident Evil 7 tops Japan sales charts but pales in comparison to Resident Evil 6

When Resident Evil 6 first released back in 2012, it sold over 634,933 copies in its first week. With Capcom reporting that 2.5 million copies of Resident Evil 7 have shipped worldwide, it seems to be doing just fine for itself. However, only 187,306 of those were sold in Japan thus far, less than a third of the last numbered entry. That was still good enough to land it the top spot in sales this past week, followed by an otome game (granted, a popular one).

Look, I may weaboo enough to learn Japanese and live in Japan, but I'm not so far gone as to spend 5,000-8,000 yen on cheaply made visual novels. Especially not when I can be spending that money on Costco sized packs of bacon and waffles.
