Xbox 360's early access to Resident Evil 6 demo all part of a plan ...

Capcom have revealed that there was a business plan behind the move to give Xbox 360 users access to the Resident Evil 6 demo ? 2 months before other consoles.

The internet is was alive in a frenzy when word broke out that the mysterious nohopeleft.com website was actually a front for the sixth instalment in the core Resident Evil series. Things really took off when the website released the first trailer for Resident Evil 6.

Resident Evil is perhaps one of the most well known video game series in the world along with Halo, Call of Duty, Mario and Mortal Kombat among a long list of others. The Resident Evil series has seen four film adaptations with a fifth one set for release later this year.

Movies aside, the game can hold its own based on what it represents as the most well known survivor horror series on the face of the planet. In fact, Resident Evil 4, which starred Leon Kennedy, won a ?living room shelf? load of Game of the Year awards and is still hailed as the best video game the PlayStation 2 console has ever seen.

However, when things come to Resident Evil 6 is where the speculation begins taking over as apart from the trailer and a few bits of information, there is very little to go in terms of what the game will offer.

One thing that could help bring an end to that is a demo of the game, which seems to be what Capcom were thinking when they announced that players who purchased a copy of Dragon?s Dogma would get a demo for Resident Evil 6.

?Purchasers of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon?s Dogma will be able to redeem this token and download the Resident Evil 6 demo globally on the Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox 360 60 days earlier than any other platform starting on July 3.?

We do not mean to start a flame war here, but for some reason news like this is sure to start a 'Xbox is better than PlayStation' debate, but so far it seems that when it comes to survival horror, Xbox has the upper hand, or at least it has the upper hand for 2 months.
