I don't understand why people are trying to say Revelations 2 wasn't as big of a success just because it had an episodic release. So TellTale Games are all a failure just because people can download the first episode and ignore the rest? It won't make any sense.
The story in Revelations 2 ties in nicely to each of the subsequent episodes. Once we end it, we usually get a kickass trailer showing some of the events from the upcoming episode. Unless people really hate the first episode, I don't get this logic of just purchasing one episode when the game was priced really reasonably as well.
FWIW, here is what Capcom said about Revelations 2 in their fiscal report ending March 31st.
And they were happy with the sales as of June 30th.
Now we all know that Remake sold 1 million as of June 30th so Revelations 2 selling 1.4 million in such short amount of time is impressive to me. There is no way a hypothetical Handheld + Console version would have sold more, since it is no 2012 anymore. The popularity of the series also took a nose dive after the release of RE 6.
Also being more inclined towards digital sales offers Capcom a better revenue stream.
Remake must of been a surprise success for Capcom as it seems to have led them to work on RE0 HD and RE2 Remake.
