Capcom’s revealed sales targets for several of its top titles due out during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, including Resident Evil 6 and DmC.

Sales of 7 million are projected for RE6, which launches October worldwide. Capcom did not include PC sales in the estimate, suggesting that it’ll be a later release. Additionally, the company expects sales of 2 million for the controversial DmC – Devil May Cry reboot, which interestingly is lower than the 2.7 million sell-through figure its predecessor mustered. Elsewhere, sales of 1.5 million are expected for Dragon’s Dogma, with Lost Planet 3 coming in at 1.4 million.

The forecast is fairly reasonable for the most part, though we’re not entirely sure on DmC with the amount of fan backlash its received. Then again, perhaps the new look will bring in a different crowd.
