The next title in the Resident Evil series could be a reboot.
Take this information with a grain of salt, but Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi told 1UP in a recent interview that the next title in the Resident Evil series is going to be a reboot. Here's what 1UP has posted on their site:
"In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game's producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable Resident Evil 6. That's not to suggest that there's anything wrong with the evil at hand. Quite the opposite; it's awesome fun, and we've beaten the game from beginning to end, and have a week's worth of detailed, insider info for you to enjoy. Check out our exclusive interview, videos of unseen levels, and our final hands-on preview to see if Capcom's controversial new survival-horror game lives up to its legacy."
1UP's interview with producer Jun Takeuchi will be available tomorrow, so by then we'll be able to find out if this supposed "reboot" rumor is true or not.

Why reboot the games? Why not reboot the movies instead?

Personally I think that they should give it a rest after RE5 and think of what (if any) new direction they can take the franchise in other than just setting each new chapter in a new location.

Reboot is s term that needs to be left far away from video games.

I thought RE5 looked like a lot of fun, but I felt the controls were needlessly complicated for a survival game.

@ Todd Vote
reboot is a good term as it is naturally a programing term idiot !
Resident Evil desperately needs one ! It hasn't changed game styles since the inception ( save for the style that game out for the Game Cube in comparison to it's Ps2 counterpart) ~
