    With this data already being slightly out-dated, obviously it appears that Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles will feature on the next update, considering it had shipped 950,000 units at last count and is still going strong. In fact, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is still amassing sales around Europe, so who knows where it will finally end up if re-released at a lower price-point as well at some point. What else could be on the horizon, though? Devil May Cry 4 is a possibility, following its strong start on PS3 in Japan, whilst Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice could be in with a shot after accruing more than 500,000 sales in Japan alone and the Western release on the horizon.

    Great news! I really like the Wii edition of RE4, it is the definitive version so it isn't really surprising that it has sold well.

    Kind of a burn that RE4 sold more on the PS2 then it did on the GC. HAHA! Samething happened to Code Veronica, sold more on PS2 then DC.

    Robertd, considering the difference in installed hardware base for the PS2 compared to GC on a worldwide basis, I'm stunned the GC version finished so close to the PS2 edition, actually.

    That's true Jesusraz I don't think PS2 Resi4 sold enough. If PS2's install base is 100 million + than 2 million sales isn't even a scratch.

    Shame that it did diminish GC itself even more. Releasing it to PS2 was like taking one of the only 3rd party million seller away from Cube.
    But it did great - all of Resident Evil on Cube. Great to read that 3 on this list are cube-titles - and not even exclusives!
    I find your lack of faith disturbing!
