Resident Evil 3 and 4 Remakes close in on 10 million copies sold

Unlike most publishers, Capcom consistently releases their game sales data – providing up-to-date figures for all of its ‘Platinum Titles’ (games which have passed 1 million units in sales). As part of their latest report, Capcom has revealed that multiple Resident Evil games are biting at the heels of 10 million total units sold.

Updating the Platinum Titles section on their Investor Relations site, Capcom has shared its latest sales data as of the 31st of March. While the company had already disclosed the impressive launch sales of Monster Hunter Wilds, it is now officially currently sitting as the 7th best-selling Capcom game of all time with 10.1 million units sold – pushing Resident Evil 5 out of the top 10.

Speaking of Resident Evil however, the last quarter proved to be a rather significant one for the franchise, with both Resident Evil 3 Remake and RE4 Remake closing in on 10 million copies sold – both currently sitting at 9.9 million.

Of course, despite the release of MH: Wilds, other other Monster Titles continue to sell well, with Monster Hunter World Iceborne passing 15 million units (15.2M) – and Rise’s Sunbreak expansion nearing 10 million (9.8M); pushing total franchise sales past 120 million.

Considering the fact that Monster Hunter Wilds only released at the tail end of February, I expect Capcom’s next quarterly report to have the game easily as one of the publisher’s top 5 best-selling titles of all time. We will have to wait and see.
