Despite Negative Reviews, Resident Evil 6 Broke Records

A slew on critics labeled Capcom’s Resident Evil 6 as uninspired, tired and plain boring. But fans seemingly didn’t listen because shipment for the new title have surpassed 4.5 million units, Capcom has announced.

The figure breaks Capcom’s previous records to become its highest-ever shipped title at launch.

Said the publisher:

Capcom has for many years used its multi-platform strategy of developing titles across many game platforms to make its brands even more popular.

In addition, Capcom uses the Single content multiple usage strategy to maximize the value of its content. By continuing to use these approaches, Capcom is determined to provide a diverse spectrum of game players worldwide with games that meet their highest expectations.

Resident Evil 6 was released last Tuesday to a barrage of confusing reviews. See them all here.
