Capcom has said it is preparing to adopt Nintendo's 3DS retail digital sales initiative in the US.

"Many of our our other previously released 3DS titles will be coming to the eShop in the coming months," said Svensson in response to online questioning over a Resident Evil Revelations digital release.
Although it's unclear, Svensson's stipulation of those being 'other' titles insinuates that Resident Evil Revelations will not be among those planned for digital releases.
Resident Evil Revelations is, however, heavily rumoured to be bound for Xbox and PS3, as outed by Korean Ratings Board listings (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/380219/resident-evil-revelations-listed-for-xbox-360-ps3/) and later backed up by an alleged list of Xbox Achievements (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/386295/resident-evil-revelations-xbox-achievements-list-surfaces/) for a 'Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition'.
