5 is one of the best Coop games ever. I got it on 360 and PC. And I'd get it in a heartbeat for Switch as well. Coop and Mercs on the go? Would be lovely.
I'm going to guess it's not an exaggeration as the opinion is shared by many people and has been detailed why countless times, and rather it's just an opposing opinion.Well deserved. RE5 and 6 are both amazing games. This over exaggeration of 6 being bad needs to stop.
It sold a lot more but Capcom has a weird way of counting their game. The number you saw ( 4.9 million ) is only from vanilla PS game. It didn't even include Dual shock version, let alone re-release on another machine.
Capcom just start combining multiple SKU of the same game recently ( eg - RE7 )
Without coop no, it won't.Let's see those numbers next year. RE2 will obliterate every other RE.
These numbers add up to roughly 65m .... Yet Franchise sales are at 86m.
Just goes to show how much missing data is there. 20m is a huge gap.
Especially when you consider the older titles. I bet Capcom dont count re-releases or ports of older games. Like that RE1,2,3 number is probably just for the PS1 Launch SKU. No Dreamcast,N64,Saturn,PC or other budget SKUs counted.

There are a ton of missing spinoff games from that list though.Yea , there are a lot missing in the platinum list
Resident Evil 4 for example misses the following : PS3/X360 version , PC original version , PC Ultimate Edition
For RE2 case , I hoped that Capcom would reveal the true number of the original's sales due to the occasion of the Remake , but they still said that it sold 4.9M which is only the PS1 version according to platinum page

6 is terrible...dunno what drugs you are on now or where on while playing but I'm a little jealousWell deserved. RE5 and 6 are both amazing games. This over exaggeration of 6 being bad needs to stop.
It is a more consistent experience than RE4. RE4 suffers from too many lows for it to be regarded as the best game in the franchise but I do appreciate how it revamped the formula for the series entirely. RE4 build upon that but had the mandated co-op as its most egregious flaws but beyond that, I think it's likely the 2nd best RE game after RE7, with RE4 bring 4th. So deserved.
Crap encounters, crap story, forced co-op which makes singleplayer crap, and crap Quick Time Events.nope , you just have bad taste thats all , RE 5 is amazing
Good work Capgod
It was in the part of greatnessThat rock really is the victim in all this. What did it do to deserve this?
It'll be awhile before we see another RE game pass 11 million. Wonder which game will do itz
I've been telling people for years that this is hands down the best Resident Evil game! People have asked me why I say this, and the answer is simple.....
******************M-E-R-C-E-N-A-R-I-E-S- M-O-D-E*************************
RE5's Mercenaries mode is the best in the series and has an enormous amount of replay value. I have invested over 1000hrs into RE5 for Mercs mode ONLY. It's already an incredibly challenging and rewarding game in single player, but when you add another partner and in the Gold Edition's case 3 other players, it becomes an insanely fun game! I'll keep banging this drum until the day I die. RE5 is one of the greatest games of all time and that is mainly because of Mercenaries mode. There is a reason why you still see people streaming the game quite a bit to this day. It's just that fucking good!
Millions disagree with you.Crap encounters, crap story, forced co-op which makes singleplayer crap, and crap Quick Time Events.
If anything you have bad taste.
RE5 wouldn't consistently be selling more than RE4 because of RE4 clout. If you want to point at anything that helped the numbers so much. It's the coop.
