For RE7, I'm going to say that they probably should have anticipated less. The franchise name had been run through the mud and the marketing for it wasn't exactly "in your face". Now, Monster Hunter XX on the other hand, that's surprising to see it miss a sales goal of 2 million. Really not surprised about DR4.To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of coop and the push for super horror is what caused the lower sales. I think Capcom was being conservative considering RE6 is their third highest selling title, even after the trolling RE 5 got.
