Let's see. Considering how many millions more PS2's are sitting in Japan than Gamecube, it should've sold 500,000 more copies. Also, RE is only a remake of a series many people got sick of because of Capcom's rushed sequels. Onimusha is going to be the next sequel to go to ****s, aka it's the next RE.
Take a look at RE. 1 was good, 2 was a little worse, but still good, 3 started to suck, CV just kept going down hill. Then it was ported on every possible system. Most people can honestly say, it's getting a little old. The remake of 1 will be good, but I don't see it curing the RE-sickened gamers. RE4 and RE0 have been a long time in the works, and I see those actually doing a lot better.
Onimusha on the other hand, isn't old yet. The first one was good, and now people want the second. It's quite obvious that a new game, plus a larger installed base should give you greater sales. Wait until Onimusha is avaliable on every system, and on the 30th game in the series, they can remake the original, but it's still 6 years old, and a game everyone is sick of, except the big fans. In this case, a lot of RE's fans are PS2 owners Capcom pissed off. RE4 for PS2 was one of my deciding factors in buying a PS2, and RE was the only reason I wanted a PSX.
And yes, Onimusha became a million seller, but not in 3 days. I'm pretty sure the RE remake will become a million seller too.
