Gamespot.com reports that Resident Evil 5 will be out by March, 2009. Let's see what they have to say...

Since the original announcement of Resident Evil 5 nearly three years ago...

As for empty promises, Two Bit News announced 3 months ago that we were going to consume a whole truck full of pumpkin pies by ourselves, however, since then we've sobered up, sorry.

In a section on the publisher's projections for its fiscal 2008 year
(which runs until March 31, 2009), Capcom said it "aims to sustain
solid growth by introducing Resident Evil 5 and titles in other core
franchises."

Allow us to translate from corporate BS to gamer speak: "You have to wait another year, so we're disguising it by saying 'fiscal year', and also nobody wants our other games so lets put out another Resident Evil game."

The publisher broke down a few of its sales expectations,
with the next installment in the survival horror franchise projected to
sell 2.3 million copies worldwide. The upcoming Bionic Commando revamp
is expected to sell 1.5 million units worldwide, while Lost Planet:
Colonies' success is pegged at 610,000 copies.

2.3 million??? GTA4 sold 2.3 million just in Luxemburg alone. How about instead of setting your sights so low you put effort into making yet another quality game and let the people thrown their money eagerly into your already swelling pockets? Because let's face it, as bitter as I may be, I'm gonna buy the damn thing.

Capcom also touted its Monster Hunter franchise, which is
exceptionally popular in Japan. Monster Hunter Freedom 2G for the
PlayStation Portable was launched in March, and the publisher expects
the Asia-only release to rack up 1.5 million in sales in its first year
on shelves.

I have nothing negative to say about the Monster Hunter series. Lest I be eaten alive by fanboys. Including 2BN staff members.
