Capcom announced that pre-orders of RE6 are already outselling those of the previous games.
“The pre-orders for Resident Evil 6 are off to a fantastic start. The best start a Resident Evil game has ever had,” said Christrian Svensson from Capcom. “We’re saying, ‘Get the hell out of the way.’ We’re a big game. We’re letting you know we’re coming. We’re giving people plenty of room to move around us.”
“I can’t even tell you how many people looked at that package and approved it,” he said. “Nintendo of America, Nintendo Japan, ESRB, I don’t know how many people internally, and our guys in Japan. I can’t come up with an excuse for it. It just happened. We’re not happy about it. It’s embarrassing. I can’t really sugarcoat it. There are new processes that were put in place that involve people outside the company. We’ve redefined who has final say over packaging. I’m cautiously optimistic we won’t be seeing this happen again.”
