Resident Sleeper
WhenResident Evil 6first released back in 2012, it sold over 634,933 copies in its first week. WithCapcom reporting that 2.5 million copies ofResident Evil 7have 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.
