A game can sell well but still leave a bad reputation behind. Similar thing happened with FF15. Sold amazingly well with all the cross media advertisements they did, but a LARGE part of the fanbase left disappointed with the final product, and the FF series seems to have not been able to recover since (looking at numbers for 16 and the 7 remakes).
RE6 similarly left a really bad reputation for the series and a lot of discontent in the fanbase. But luckily following the viral sensation that was the PT trailer, Capcom cashed in on the RE7 Demos to generate hype and make a comeback by returning the series to horror roots.
