Resi returns this year ?

Capcom has announced that it plans to release its colossus of a title Resident Evil 5 simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 before the end of its financial year, that would be April 2009.
The news comes straight out of the company's latest financial report and also lists Bionic Commando and MotoGP 08 as planned releases before the end of FY 08.
It's worth noting that the financial year ends next April. Looking back over past release dates, Resident Evil 4 came out in January and March in Japan and Europe respectively, so there is a chance is won't make the shelf before Christmas.
This could happen, a chunky developer interview with plenty of gameplay footage was shown just a few weeks back and the game sounds to be well on its way. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we are all itching to get our hands on Resi 5, which is quite possibly the only game that could knock GTA4 of its record sales top spot. As long as its not rushed the the sooner it arrives the better.
