Resident Evil 4 Remake sold three million copies in just two days

We already knew that Resident Evil 4 Remake was off to a great start after seeing the number of concurrent players over the launch weekend, in addition to high praise from reviews ahead of release. Now, Capcom has revealed more specific sales numbers, with RE4 reaching three million sales in half as much time as Resident Evil Village. 

Resident Evil 4 Remake sold three million copies during its first two days on sale, Capcom has announced. For comparison, it took Resident Evil 3 Remake five days to sell two million copies, and it took Resident Evil Village four days to surpass three million sales.

With Resident Evil 4 Remake looking like a huge hit for Capcom, it should come as no surprise that the RE franchise as a whole has also surpassed a new milestone. To date, 135 million games in the Resident Evil franchise have been sold.

Recently it came to light that Resident Evil 4 Remake could be due for a story expansion at some point. References to Separate Ways, a side-campaign that shipped with some versions of the original Resident Evil 4, were found in the files for the remake, indicating that the additional campaign will be released as DLC for the remake at some point.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
