Resident Evil 6, known in Japan as Biohazard 6 (バイオハザード6,Baiohazādo Shikkusu?) is the ninth video game installment in the Resident Evil series. The official reveal trailer was released on Capcom's YouTube channel on January 29, 2012, with the release date set to November 20, 2012. However, the Captivate 2012 trailer showed a different release date, being October 2, 2012; the game ultimately released on the latter date worldwide, and on October 4 in Japan. In its first week, the game sold 4.5 million copies, with its Japanese sales of 676,585 surpassing Resident Evil 5's already impressive 398,747.[5][6] Despite this, the game failed to reach its six-month target of 7 million units by 31 March 2013.[7]
