It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

when you are paying for a service it becomes a problem. A single game is not going to be sufficient perhaps a month free/extra to compensate for all those days when people couldn't play.
something like 1-2 million people signed up within what 3 weeks? no one can predict that and they we're caught unprepared last i checked other companies we're caught unprepared too when alot of people logged onto play one game.

Hmmm. Problems. Let's see I have had XBL for more than 5 years and besides the little bit of down time I had for the holidays (4 hourse for me) Xbox Live has added hundreds of continued excitement and fun for me and my family. Obviously, there have been people that has had some down time. This is unfortunate. You know the cable company does not give you any added bonus when the cable goes out. Anyways, MS put out some top hits this year, especially Halo 3 (well as far as nline gaming). I think they ever estimated that this many people would buy a 360 and sign for XBL. MS stated in a note that they met their XBL fiscal goal 6 months early. There were 7 million plus people just playing Halo 3 on XBL the other night. It would have been nice if they anticipated this and made sure there servers and infrastructure was ready for this, but they did not. I think something simliar happend when Gears of War was released. I think the game increased XBL account by 40% and they had some XBL issues for a couple of days.
XBL is a very strong online service, argubaly the best, but MS needs to fix any problems with there online service. Once they fix it they should make sure it does not happen again, but they also need to take the surge of accounts as a compliment...
