Umbrella Chronicles ships one million worldwide

The last we heard, Capcom's on-rails homage to the Resident Evil series was nearing one million sales. Capcom made the news official today, though, reporting that Umbrella Chronicles finally reached the lofty landmark.

After being available at retail for only four months, the game has shipped one million copies worldwide. Yes, that's "shipped" and not "sold," but it's still impressive despite the technicality.

Most of us at Nintendo Wii Fanboy loved the zombie shooter (then again, we're big fans of the Resident Evil series), but we know some of you didn't like the on-rails experience. Even so, it's always good to see third parties succeeding.

This is Capcom's second game to break one million on the Wii -- the first, of course, being the company's other Biohazard game, the Resident Evil 4 port.

I hope the success of Resi4 and Resi Chronicals will help sway capcom to releasing Resi5 to Wii as well.

Resi4 was a GC game and has someone of the best GFX on wii. The wii has double the power of the GC so games should look much better.

Please Capcom. Show them how it's done.

Sadly, all this will encourage them to do is release more GC/ps2 ports :(

I cheer anytime I see a post here about a Capcom game making money in the perhaps naive hope they use the profits for Zack & Wiki 2...

Come on Capcom, get the message! Resident Evil sells well on Wii!

So please announce RE5 for Wii soon! It will obviously sell well and I have no doubt that it will sell even better because many people (like myself) who have not purchased the other two RE games would buy RE5 for Wii in a second.
