For reference, REmake sold only 1.35 million units back on GameCube - the original 1996 Resident Evil on PlayStation sold 2.75, almost exactly double. It’d be a pretty big milestone to break and something that’s never been accomplished in the history of the company. 7 million units from reaching the original RE2‘s sales.
RE2 Remake has now topped it’s 4 million unit mark at 4.2 million units, nestling it in the top 10 best selling Capcom titles of all time, and just. That’s not all, however, as REmake 2 is also ticking up, albeit slowly. RE7‘s continued growth makes Capcom’s goal of 10 million units over its lifetime seem almost conservative given that it’s only been two and a half years Unlike other games in the series, it hasn’t left its launch platforms yet - so who knows how far RE7 could go. Resident Evil 7 is still steadily rising, now at 6.4 million units - spitting distance from the next RE up the ladder, RE6 (at 7.3).

Outside of that, the Resident Evil series is still doing wonderfully as well.
That’s up two whole millions since the last time we talked about all this, back in May. Capcom’s best selling title of all time, Monster Hunter World, has just broken 13 million units sold, blowing past the second-highest title, Resident Evil 5 (at 7.5). It seems like those times are pretty well and truly behind us now, as Capcom’s numbers continue to rise and surpass expectations. We all were starting to feel a bit shell-shocked as Capcom’s numbers started to shake, and some were even starting to panic over what was being deemed “below expectations”. More often than not, it feels like we all just watch in slack-jawed dismay as something we really love grossly under-performs while some dumb trash breaks records year after year. It’s really gratifying, as a fan, to see good decisions rewarded.
