- The latest sales data show that Capcom's highly anticipated remake of Biohazard was unable to
meet the sales expectation, the game has only sold around 104,000 units in Japan in the first weekend.

Dreamcast, and Bandai has sold 246,000 units of One Piece Grand Battle II for PlayStation.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>In Japan, the 'Cube is pummeling the Xbox. You want to hear a great game getting bad sales? How about less than 100,000 TOTAL sales for Dead or Alive 3? And that's easily the best selling Xbox game over there and is off the top 50 charts already</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>'Box is whuppin' 'Cube here, software sales-wise. It's third here easily but a comfy second in Japan. I think that's what Eric was referring to, the next-gen systems</div>
