Resident Evil 5 has shipped 4 million units across the world already. It’s only been out in the US since Friday, less than 4 full days ago. Now, shipped doesn’t mean sold, shipped just means how many units Capcom has sent out to stores and sellers. I doubt it’ll take long for the game to actually sell 4 million, if it already hasn’t.

Capcom has also said that Wii Owners/Resident Evil fans will be “very happy, very soon”. What does this mean? A new Resident Evil game for the Wii? Could the Resident Evil Zero port that is only out in Japan be coming to the US and the rest of the world?
