Capcom updates their best-selling games list, Monster Hunter: World & Rise, and RE7 top the chart
The three games that top the all-time chart of sales for Capcom in units sold are Monster Hunter: World with 18.6 million, Monster Hunter Rise with 11.7 million and Resident Evil 7 with 11.7 million as well, while the Resident Evil 2 Remake not far behind with 11.2 million.
It's worth noting that the sales are not combining subsequent releases of certain games.
For example, Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 seem to be at an almost-tie in the chart, placing 6th and 7th respectively, both with 8.6 million copies sold. However, Resident Evil 5 is listed 3 times in the list. The first one being for the original Xbox 360 & PS3 release back in 2009 (with the Gold Edition release not far behind for the same consoles), and the more recent Xbox One and PS4 release appears lower on the list, summing up to an amount of 13.5 units for Resident Evil 5 total, displacing Resident Evil 6 in this regard which makes up around 10.9 million across all its versions.
Keen eyes might have also noticed that one of the most influential and beloved titles from Capcom is nowhere in the Top 10 of the list, with this title being Resident Evil 4.
RE4 does appear until the 31st position of the list. However, as explained before, this is only for the re-release of the title for the PS4, Xbox One and PC, without considering any of the other versions and releases throughout the almost 2 decades since its release. All in all, the original Resident Evil 4, combining all versions throughout consoles and releases, sums up to around 12.3 million units sold, placing it just below Resident Evil 5 in total sales, and still carrying a spot above Resident Evil 6.
