Since the release of the first Resident Evil game in 1996, the series has shipped over 33 million units (as of October 30, 2007) and is valued as one of Capcom's strongest and most original intellectual properties (IP). RE4 Wii Edition retains the intensity of the original Resident Evil 4 while bringing players a totally new play experience through the use of the Wii Remote. In this way, by retaining the interest of the core fanbase and expanding outward toward new casual players through the Wii platform, Capcom has broken the 1 million units milestone, and successfully captured the attention of a new set of users.

It is Capcom's on-going plan to aggressively pursue the continued creation of unique and inspired creations for the Wii, including such titles as Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, which is set to go on sale on November 13th, followed by We Love Golf! in 2008.

To stay at the cutting edge of the next generation of gaming, Capcom is committed to researching and developing new processes and techniques specific to each of the unique platforms to create a revolutionary gaming experience. Building on the success of last year's Dead Rising and Lost Planet for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, both of which were million-sellers, Capcom's success at shipping over 1 million units of Resident Evil 4 on the Wii reflects the strong, creative R&D facilities which have allowed the company to be a success on every major next-gen platform.
