Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition sells 1million worldwide

This is a game first released on the Gamecube then the PS2 and recently the Wii. It seems that people appreciate an excellent port and especially when it is such a great value for money (not to mention when there are not a lot of good games on the console). On play.com the sale price is just STG25 (EUR38.99) and in the US it is USD30. Although i played it on the Gamecube i also got it for the Wii after reading the reviews. I played a bit but then unfortunately i then gave it up. It is fantastic game for those who have not played it before and the Wii Edition is probably the best of the three versions. If you own a Wii and have not played Res4 before then do yourself a favour and go out and buy it. One of the very best!
Update:
Like i mentioned above the game was released at a lower price point by Capcom because it is an older game with new motion sensing controls fitted on to it. However i just had a look at the Micromania website and they are selling it as a full priced game at CYP35. It is a significant price difference so have it in mind.
