Capcom Platinum Titles & Franchise Sales Update Nov. 2nd, 2022 - Devil May Cry 5 passes 6M, Resident Evil 2 Remake passes 10M, & more

So proud of 2R, it was different but kept enough of the original to keep long fans happy. No true dual campaigns but what can you do.
SF6 seem like it has a good chance of being something that's out during the launch window, right? I'm sure Ichinose's team is already well into planning on the next Monster Hunter for Nintendo hardware, but SF6 really doesn't need a bespoke version all that much when the hardware target isn't going to be too crazy and RE Engine being so scalable already.
RE7 is closer to RE2 more than Village is close to RE7; but, to answer your question, it's probably the relative lack of DLC keeping it in the news and lack of a price drop. RE7 and RE2 see steep sales.
7 had less contemporary quality RE games to compete with. Village is just one of many current gen RE games.
Oh yeah, now need for a bespoke Nintendo version these days. Especially with SF6 as it'll still be targeting hardware weaker than Drake (PS4).
Wasn't the combined sales of IV at ~9 million?
I do think if V had actually gotten an Xbox port it definitely would've been in the 8-8.5 million range.
Not anymore Even when you combine the rereleases RE7 has sold more now in less time. RE7 is the new GOAT. Proving once again Horror RE>>>>Action RE
Okamiden isn't happening unless it's a remake, due to the DS stuff and the fact that it has legit N64 fidelity visuals that HD won't be able to fix up alone.
Okami 2, I think, is going to hinge on a lot of things going absolutely right to make it possible, especially if Kamiya really wants Platinum to have a hand in it and if he can sweet talk his friends over at Capcom to keep at the effort to maintain interest. I don't think it's as impossible as it was a decade ago, but it's not going to be easy.
Why doesnt Capcom reflect that? Eitherway seems like RE7 is on its heels.
It's on the site.
And both games sold the same this update so no ground was gained today.
I know it's always been budget priced, but I'm still so impressed RE5 managed to sell over 2.5m just on PS4 and XB1.
It's a stupid amount of game for the price tag it usually runs at. Gold Edition really turned that game into a monster and an easy recommendation for just about every type of player out there.
I wasn't counting the 3DS port, just doing a straight home console and PC comparison, since SFV has no handheld port. The 3DS game brings the SFIV total up to 9.6 million.
DMC5 is only 200k away from breaking into the all time Capcom top ten.
Which would make it the only non RE, MH, SF franchise to do that. You'd then have to go to spot number 26 for the next one which is Dead Rising 3.
I expect similar for Dragons Dogma 2. A mix of DMC, Monster Hunter and Skyrim in a Capcom game? If done well it'll be Capcoms next big thing.

There's just something about RE fpv that makes the experience feel more personal, and spookier too.
On the topic of DR. I really hope we get to see it on the RE Engine. Should be a crazy experience, with how good it looks, and performs.
Im a simple hater: I see that RE3make sold half of what RE2make sold, Village outsold it completely in a rather short time and that its the slowest selling mainline game since RE5 and Im happy.
If given the proper attention, a bit bigger budget, and main division, it could match RE2make's sales.

Village selling 6.6 million [before recent DLC / Gold edition] seems like a great figure to me, considering its only been out for less than two years. That seems like a decent sales figure for now, no?
It's been my favourite mainline RE game since RE2make and RE7. I fell in love with it the second I saw the view of the Village in its mountainous setting in those opening moments, it's an absolute joy of Gothic horror with the strongest villans the franchise has had in a long time so I'm pleased to see it doing respectable numbers.

These numbers don't reflect the boost Village will likely get from the DLC. Then there's boosts it will get from RE4 releasing, and RE9, and later sales once it gets cheaper. It's gonna be at 10M in no time.
Same. For the type of horror that RE aims for, at least modern RE sequels, FP makes more sense. More claustrophobic, more of an intimacy with your surroundings. Looking at someone's bum the entire time doesn't have the same effect. That makes more sense for action stuff.
It's also probably gonna be the game that knocks SF2 SNES out of the top 10, after 31 years.
It's fair to say now that focusing so much effort on Resistance was a definite mistake. While there was a chance that it could be a big hit, I feel like it was obvious early on that it wouldn't make much of a splash.
Even the release gap isn't an excuse. RE2 is pretty handily outpacing RE3. The latter is doing close 2/3 of what RE2 did at the same time. I bet the gap is only gonna grow wider over time.

Seems its doing fine. And with Capcom games having really long legs, and sales, the game will no doubt keep selling for years to come much like other games in the series.
This really doesnt say much. The only thing between RE2make and Village was RE3make which wasnt the best RE game out there, lets just say that.
Fully agree. But Im not sure how Capcom even could think that PvP game they dont plan to support and didnt even invest in basic functionalities can be anything other than dead on arrival.
The fact that Devil May Cry is Capcom's 5th best selling franchise with DMC 5 close to popping in the top 10 of their platinum titles, but we might not see another game outta that series anytime soon is cruel.
Well Capcom needs to get another team to develop it - since Itsuno probably took his DMC5 team over to Dragons Dogma 2. Im all for more DMC though. As long as its good DMC. No DMC2, no reboot DmC... just more Nero and Nico.
Personally, I think SFV would be within striking distance of Tekken 7 and SFIV if it had an Xbox port. If Xbox One systems only added 2 million to the tally, SFV would be at 8.8 million sales.
Yeah that was a poor way of phrasing it, and that's my bad. I should have said;
As much as I loved RE7 and RE2 remake, Village has solidified itself as my absolute favourite of the recent Resi games.
As already mentioned, all versions of RE7 are combined together under one listing. RE5 isn't. It has three listings. The two in the OP and the Gold Edition re-release that has sold 2.3 million copies. That version is no longer sold so it saw no increase. It also released on Switch, but that version hasn't cracked 1 million yet. You have to combine all those numbers. RE4 is the same way
Except it's selling faster than 7 in the same cycle? (RE7 only got above 6M two years after release, in 2019).
In terms units sold per period, it goes like: Resi 2 >> Village >> 7 >>>> RE3 (which the latter is way slower compared to the first three).
