People need to get over this weird RE6 vs 7 stuff. Like seriously, they both have great numbers. Who gives a crap? Some of ya'll need to get away from this game stuff for a while and read a fucking book.

Switch is counted in the Overall Game Series Sales that I just updated but not in their individual sections. They count as their own ports.
I didn't want to specifically point it out. You are brave. This basically.
Pretty much, yeah. The cut-off point for these numbers was March 31st, 2020.
I feel like SFV might still have potential but I won't mind if they moved forward with the next entry. I just want SF to not fade into obscurity.
Street Fighter is the centerpiece of the Capcom Pro Tour, it isn't going anywhere.
The wind is pushing me~ Into the clouds again~
I feel the blood in my veins~
Time is running free~ I feel like letting go~
Just like the Dangan~

What an amazing generation from Capcom. Hope they continue this upward trajectory next generation. Maybe bring back Dino Crisis and AAA Megaman..?
RE2 on its way to be the top selling RE game in a year or two, RE7 to surpass RE6 this quarter (definitely already has as this sales data is a month and a half old), it'll be really interesting to see how RE8 and RE4 do in comparision.
Ace Attorney jumping up another ~200k seems like a good sign for the legs on the HD trilogy release, given that came out a solid year ago now and there hasn't been any releases for the series since then. Some of it could be people checking out the existing 4/5/6 3DS/mobile ports, of course.
It's been doing great since Arcade Edition. First two years were rough, the last two have been solid.
Yeah bye bye extreme action RE and good riddance. RE4 Remake should suit fans of that style though.

I know that feel lol.
Oh for sure. When launch aligned they're far out pacing RE6 (They even were back at launch outside the actual shipment numbers which RE6 still holds the record on).
It's more just that despite whatever is selling, there's still obvious interest in Action RE titles. Which is why I imagine Resident Evil 4 remake is happening.
They're both gonna put up really big numbers. The RE brand is strong now.
Capcom is so hot again, but unlike in the '90s, they make games that do nothing at all for me. It's funny because people talk about this Capcom comeback, and the numbers show that it's clearly happening, but I never would have guessed had I not spent time here or at other gaming websites.
Good for them in general though because they have a lot of IPs that I (in theory) like.

Capcom really has to sitdown and revaluate what Street Fighter means to everyone. The cheap pops should be easy. NetherRealm and Arcsys have it figured out and you can't tell me SF doesn't have as much love and nostalgia as DBZ and MK in the US. I want the SF version of this
I could maybe see DMC5 getting a Special Edition for the next-gen systems, but SFV seems to be basically done in terms of major content support beyond the CPT 2020 Premier Pack (unless you mean Street Fighter in general).
I think RE2 is going to be at the top for a long time. I don't think anything will even come close to MHW. That shit is nuts.
Yes.
The next title (unknown if 12) entered development at end of 2018.

I think everyone has moved on. We know RE8 is coming and is horror, we know RE4 Remake is coming and everythign is pointing at that being an action RE similar to the original. Everyone is eating or about to eat so it's kinda it's own thing now.
Even RE3 was more in-line with action RE sensibilities after-all. Good time to be an RE fan on either side.
Unless you want a fixed camera game lol
I mean all y'all are really asking for any time you compare any fighting game to a current NRS one is "I wish they spent a lot more money on this".
Most people don't buy expansions.
RE6 sucked, but not because it was action. It was just a bad game.
O shoot it probably could've been out next year maybe if it was for what's going on. Looking forward to it
The action vs horror war will never not be funny as someone that just got into the franchise in 2017. They all just seem like good games to me(didn't like 4 too much personally.)
Yeah, MK has WB watching its back which allows NRS to throw "kiss my ass" money around.
Well thats what they did with Monster Hunter no? Everyone was saying how the portable games were already millions sellers and making a AAA MH game would not be worth the money invested. Sure its a gamble but maybe SF could have a similar success story with a AAA budget
Monster Hunter is a genuine cultural touchstone in Japan, making it an HD console game was as much of a no brainer as Dragon Quest was. The margins for SF no matter what will be a lot lower.
I'm happy the next gen of consoles seems like it's going to be easy to develop for too. I think Capcom (and other Japanese devs) are going to continue to surge like they did this gen.
Ah, I see. Thanks.
I just thought that at least more than half of those who bought World would've also bought the expansion since it's the most well received MH to date and that the expansion improved upon some or most of the problems people had with World.
