Thoughts:
I don't know why Capcom was complaining about Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicle's sales. Capcom should give Wii owners a new original Resident Evil game built from the ground up for the Wii, and stop giving Wii owners remakes and onrail shooters of the original Resident Evil games. I think an overall review score of 74.40% out of 100% shows that Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles isn't exactly meeting the quality of the better Resident Evil games before it.
Questions:
Do you think Capcom was correct in complaining about Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles' sales being poor according to Capcom? Or do you think Capcom is being lazy and giving Wii owners remakes, instead of a new Resident Evil experience?
