More on this gameAmidst some fairly bizarre questions an internal Q&A with Resident Evil 5 Producer Jun Takeuchi has revealed his intensions for the title's sales figures.
Takeuchi-san claimed within the slightly dated interview, "At the low end of the scale, I would say 2 million copies worldwide. I'd like to see it start there and eventually reach 3 million copies. I think users in Europe and America will be particularly pleased with the game's content."
Such a figure would compare favourably to Capcom's latest million-plus sellers, (Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Devil May Cry 4) but would still lie behind both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 which according to the publisher's figures shifted 4.9 million and 3.5 million copies respectively.

I doubt it, sounds like RE5 pushes RE4's action/horror instead of survival/horror concept even further - zombie explosions ahoy.

The code veronica series had really good puzzles.
Does the RE5 have puzzle?

I can't believe Leon and Christ never met each other, i guess RE5 happen right when Leon is still saving Ashely from Re4

I'm looking forward to getting this game. Even though, I'm planning to getting both ps3 & xbox360. Mainly due to the different outlook of the games.
