Correct if i am wrong RE4 entered higher on the Wii, than it did on the GameCube and the PS2 and against much stiffer opposition as well. Made me happy, more people need to experience the greatness of RE4.

*hehe* great! A core game being that high in the charts! I hope that'll teach them...

I bought my copy today, too!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

RE4 on GC hit No.5 on the Top 40 Full Price chart in the week ending 19th March, 2005. No.1 was Gran Turismo 4, No.2 FIFA Street, No.3 Brothers in Arms, No.5 Champ Man 5. Super Mario 64 DS slipped four to No.8 that week...

As for the PS2 edition: it landed on week ending 5th November, 2005 at No.4 on the PS2 Top 20 and helped the game back into the Top 40 at No.7. Above it were:

No.1 Star Wars Battlefront II, No.2 GTA: LCS, No.3 PES 5, No.4 FIFA 06, No.5 The Warriors and No.6 THAW. By that point, RE4 on GC had dropped to No.11 in the week Fire Emblem landed at No.1 and failed to break to Top 40 Smilie

Fantastic news. I hope all new Wii owners, or those new to the series buy it as soon as they can. It's a great game that plays even better on Wii. [LS]

Should RE4 really be in the full price top 40 chart? As it was released on Wii at a budget price.

Very good news, i hope it stays there for a few weeks!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562
