So best selling MH game of all time by far, and DMC also heading towards best selling DMC game of all time. RE2, a remake is about to be the 5th best selling on such a long franchise.

Nuts.

Only thing disappointing on that list is SFV.

The MHW numbers are even more impressive when the older titles numbers include the expansions as well.

Fucking hell that street fighter v number. Street fighter v genuinely triggered me. My favourite series in bad shape this gen. The rest is great.

Always remember the caveat Capcom does when parsing out numbers, they round down their sales numbers to a large degree.

So something like the DMC Franchise could have been at 17.9M sales and it still says 17.0 million, which then is updated to 20.0 million after DMCV sold 2.1 million.

how's monhun world in japan? is it on par with previous monhun, or did World sales mainly come from the new international market and they're losing players in japan?

In Japan I can't say off the top of my head, but probably around the amount the first MH Generations did. This time around most of the sales come from international markets.

Fascinating for many things:

RE5 gets so much hate but it's the second best swing RE game still above critically acclaimed entries like 4 and 7.

So glad to see RE2make at 4m already. I hope there's at least another 4 in the tank.

Fascinating to read Breath of Fire is included there.

SFV was a colossal step down in saws from IV. Like, holy shit.

By "SKU" they mean each individual game in the series or are they taking into account MvC3 PS3 and Xbox 360 as 2 SKUs?

SFV has outsold every DMC title.

To be fair , SFV is a modern game so Capcom counts Discounted SKUs and GOTY Editions ( Like AE ). For older games those aren't counted. I am Fairly certain DMC4 + SE + Budget re-releases + PC would be way higher. Heck maybe even DmC or DMC3.

DMC Franchise before DMC5 has sold 17.9m units. Its quite obvious the each title has sold more than the platinum page suggests. And given how poor DMC2 was received , I am guessing the other 4 titles did the heavy lifting in terms of sales.

Edit :

Devil May Cry 4 - 3M
DmC Devil May Cry - 2.4M
Devil May Cry 3 - 2.3M
Devil May Cry - 2.16M
Devil May Cry 2 - 1.7M
Devil May Cry HD Collection - 1.2M

This only adds up to 12.7m. There is still 5.2m sales of DMC games that aren't accounted for.

So RE2 still didn't catch up to RE6's first week with 1 more platform. Dissapointing to say the least.

Would games like Gargoyle's Quest and Demon's Crest be considered part of Ghouls 'n Ghosts or a seperate thing?

Yea interesting question. I wonder if COTA,XmenVsSF,MSHvsSF are counted as part of the MvC series or SF series. And even something like Capcom vs SNK.

I wonder if Capcom will ever release a complete list of all titles for each franchise.

So RE2 still didn't catch up to RE6's first week with 1 more platform. Dissapointing to say the least.

You have to be trolling lol , RE6 had a development team that was like 4 times the size of RE2's team and god knows how big the budget/marketing was. RE2R possibly had the most profitable RE launch in recent times.

Goddamn , guess I was wrong. I read that RE7 was really small compared to 6. So I thought RE2 would be similar.
For the record, while it's not listed there, Resident Evil 7 didn't have a small team either.

Speaking of RE7, happy to see it's been getting some growth. Probably be over 7 million within the next year or two.

Something to note about Remake2 , Capcom announced that the game sales broke 4M Copies as of 27 Feb 2019 , So from here we can say that in a whole month , Remake2 sold only 200K copies , which is worrying for the game's legs imo , especially that there is no content planned and there is no additional content to be added in a Gold Edition at all

SFV is only on two platforms, PS4 and PC.

SF4 was on PS3, 360, PC, PS4, 3DS, Xbone (via BC).

SF4 also had a forced revision in Super SF4 as well. And the title updates of Arcade Edition and Ultra were both sold as physical discs in addition to the dlc expansions.

A bit of a travesty that RE4 isn't far and away the best selling RE game. It's a top 5 game of all time. Just so damn good. Hopefully the switch release sells like 5 million lol

Is SF2 sales based on at least 7 different version and many ports or not?
For MHW sales is only based on 3 SKU, so I would say that MHW is Capcom best selling game if true!

According to what? I see you already got corrected about the team sizes but why are you so defensive? Because I wanted the game to do better? I know RE2 did great but to hope RE2 sells closer (or even better) to RE6 with 1 more platform is not some otherworldy expectation. Besides it's not all about budgets and team sizes which proved to be true so many times. RE2 is a legendary game and everybody went nuts for the Remake, critics and fans loved it death unlike RE6 which had terrible reviews and mostly bad WoM after that but it still sold more units.

Just to clarify RE is one of my favourite franchises from the PS1 days. I completed every game multiple times except RE6 because I found it terrible but I loved every second of RE2R.

Here's your worry topic for today.

Before the end of February, Capcom announced they had shipped 4 million units of Resident Evil 2 Remake. By the end of March we're at 4.2 million.

Which means RE2R shipped no more than 200k in the entirety of March. Legs aren't promising, especially with the DLC not being dated yet.

MHW is the best selling MW game... now Capcom will wise up and stop making crappy MW games for handhelds.

Man I love these handheld ghetto arguments.
