Since Capcom announced earlier this week that Resident Evil: Revelations will receive a price cut, pre-order sales for the title have jumped dramatically on Amazon. Resident Evil: Revelations wasn’t even in the Amazon top 100 prior to the $10 price cut, but now it’s sitting pretty at number twenty-one. Resident Evil: Revelations is already out now in Europe, and is due for release February 7th in North America.
That’s a good thing for sure, since it’s a very good game as well!
And the real reason Capcom dropped the price is finally revealed. Shocking *sarcasm*
man capcom pwns the fans. fans were crying and outrage over megaman wahhhh wahhhhh wahhh capcom put shades and was like meh ya tools. damn fans are bipolar tool sheeps. capcom 1 crapfans 0 u are joke capcom wipes there ass with ur face ya disverve to be trated as the whiny bi-polar fucks that u are.

Funny that. Drop the price and sales jump…
3DS
Capcom RER
Vita… Will be next, or it will die a slow death.
Apparently Sony is already selling Vita at a loss and can’t afford to cut the price.
I doubt it. Did the 360 “die a slow death” because it launched expensive? How about the PS3? Both have sold around have a 100 million each, which is far from a “slow death.”
The PSP launched at $250 and sold over 70 million, and back then the dollar was worth more as well…
actually the Xbox and PS3 have both sold about 55 million each
the Wii sold about 88 Million….
God dangit, spelling mistake… have=half.
PS3= 61m
360= 64m
Wii= 94m
Um no try about 66 million each. Ps3 will outsell 360 by April.
They haven’t sold close to 100 million…

PS3 was doing horribly until the price went down.
have=half, sorry about that.
Ah. Probably easier to just say 50 million. :P
Sounded more impressive.

Thanks?
Yay! The more sales, the more third party support…and lower prices for that matter! :D
I wouldn’t really say it’s thanks only to the price drop. Gamestop has a RE case as a pre-order bonus, so maybe people have gone there to get the game. Also, amazon has started a new offer where you get $10 credit when you pre-order a game from them. That money goes to any purchase you do that is sold by amazon.com (from their own warehouse, that is).
I think it’s from the Price Drop, because Gamestop has to stop offering the case a few weeks ago due to reservation deadlines…The offer might be new, but in one week? Not too many people can learn about offers like that, heck, I use amazon almost daily and I never heard of that offer. It has to be due to the Price Drop.
The gamestop case has been there for a long time now and amazon’s offer went in action not long ago. Price drop may be a reason, but I don’t think it’s the biggest reason as people could still get more stuff before the price drop. That, and the fact that people who want to use the circle pad pro will only get it through gamestop.
How does a GameStop deal cause Amazon sales to go up?
You’d be surprised.
Read: “I don’t really know what I’m talking about.”
I am surprised. Please elaborate.
Every shop in Oxford had sold out of this game… so sad.
Could this truly be the real killer app of the 3DS?
No, for many reasons, chief among them accessibility.
Nice, I hope it will continue to sell well since it’s a great game. Shouldn’t need a price cut though, to sell.
Hmmm…What if CAPCOM put the price at $50 to make it seem expensive then lowered the price (as planned) so people will say it’s a great deal? Pish-posh CAPCOM wouldn’t do that, right?
/sarcasm, It’s a great game, the demo showed it. :D
Because of price drop or because of the demo? How do you know for sure?
This further proves to Nintendo that people don’t want to pay for overpriced games, even if it is by a small margin of just $10. If Nintendo wants the Wii U to have a good launch, it can’t cost more than $350. That seems to be the price a lot of people are comfortable with. It’s also right around price of the Xbox 360 and PS3, and people are already comfortable paying those prices for old consoles, so it’s a great price for a console that’s brand new.
It also proves to Nintendo that there’s a reason Mario Kart 7 sold millions at that price while Steel Diver didn’t; value. Sell the game at what price it’s worth; Sony already does this, Nintendo said they realize this is a problem, so what’s the holdup? Why the heck is Tetris selling for the same price as Super Mario 3D Land?
Tetris Axis was apparently a good game and it got positive reviews. All the bad games have already had their prices cut, just check the website of any store that sells video games.
Wow I feel stupid now. I just checked GameStop and yeah, you’re right, Nintendo is still selling Steel Diver and Pilotwings Resort at full price. It’s only third parties that lowered the price of their games from a while ago.
The advert in UK seemed to sell the game.
(Not that I’m buying it, not into RE’s genre much.)
Hope it does well.
I hope Zavvi reduces the price of the bundle. If it doesn’t come down in price, I’ll get MGS3D instead. :)
You do know if you preordered it was £10 cheaper?

Dear Admin, this is urgent. Please get in touch with me as soon as you can..
Try Twitter, the fastest way to contact MyNintendoNews. That or via email. Comment section is one of the least effective ways to get to Sickr quickly, besides actual mail.
Ayo chill that $10 can get me lunch for a few days and maybe even a lotto ticket. Yall filthy rich suckas needa understand. FOH with that high price shit. They made the right decision.
well I was at game yesterday and both of the game stores where I live had totally sold out of it, glad I pre-ordered it. Hopefully its a sign that its selling well, and not that its under stocked
I hope Nintendo is seeing all of this. Low price = good sales. If the Wii U costs $350, they will make a lot of money.
yeah $350 would be the sweet spot for me,but i dont mind it being $350-$400.Nintendo needs to make a profit so their company can support more
$350 is a great price for the Wii U, it’s about the same as PS3 and 360. What would you rather do, spend $350 on a 5-6 year old console, or spend it on a brand new console?
i spent 100$ on a used xbox with controller,works fine but havent touched it,xbox Live costs too much and games cost alot,when you look at wii u games which are 50$(well on Amazon) and free online(nintendo isnt greedy) not to mention im not really interested in many games comeing soon,just feels like meh to me.its kinda like eating something good but you know it can be way more better,so im looking forward to wii u.Nintendo is just a company i can trust a bit more,with microsoft i feel they will mess me up,donno why
So did Japan and Europe buy the game in the equivelant of $50 or did they bring the price down for them too?
So far $50 here still, slightly annoying.
That’s good news because it shows Capcom that their games will sell on the 3DS which will persuade them to make more.
This game rocks!! Day one 4 me <3
it says already out for europe so europeans how is it? anyone get the circle pad pro
