Resident Evil 5 & 6 still pulling in a lot of cash for Capcom

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest game of all time? Not to Capcom’s check book, it isn’t. According to sales figures, its two successors Resident Evil 5 and 6 are still somewhat big money makers for the company and have done quite well for themselves over the previous year.

Resident Evil 5, which is the best selling Capcom game of all time, still managed to sell a reasonable 100,000 units since June 2014, bringing it to a grand total of 6.8 million copies. Not bad for a game that is six years old. The game is not held in nearly the same regard as Resident Evil 4, but it is one of the few shining stars from the franchise over the last ten years.

The other major game couldn’t be held in more contempt throughout the gaming world. Resident Evil 6, despite its reputation as a colossal critical failure, still sold 300,000 in 2014, bringing its total from 5.9 million to 6.2 million since last June. Come to think of it, I was one of those sales after I picked up Resident Evil 6 for pocket change during a PlayStation sale.

You can blame me, I’m sorry.

Resident Evil Revelations 2‘s smaller budgeted gamble is also paying off quite well for the company, and it has sold 1.1 million units across digital and physical releases. Don’t look now, but Resident Evil HD Remaster is also a million seller. In total, the series has sold 65 million copies worldwide. Anyone still think that they should cancel the movie franchise?

I think it goes without saying that Resident Evil is the company’s most valuable property. However, heading into its next fiscal year, the cartoonish Monster Hunter Stories and Street Fighter V are still considered to be the company’s top contenders. Would Resident Evil 7 change that? I’m not sure if the world is quite ready.

Meanwhile, Mega Man 2 from 1988 is still the best selling Mega Man title. Just saiyan…

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
