RE6 Remaster: 2 Mil
Total: 9.5 Mil
It's literally just one person that does this and continues to do so in almost every Resident Evil/Capcom related thread. Best to put them on ignore.

Likely 99% of it. The game was at a standstill until the switch port hit
EDIT: OH you mean total. Give me a sec
Probably a majority of it since the 3DS version never saw a western release.
Uhhh.. yeah, gimme a sec… I'm coming up with 32.33% uh, repeating of course, percentage, of switch sales
Yes, they're super happy with it. Legacy Collection is at 2 million.
The big difference between the two is the tone. The action in RE7 gradually builds up, and it feels earned when it goes for the more crazy encounters. Even then, it's nowhere near the level of the frantic pace and ridiculousness of RE6 and 5.
RE5/6 are outlandish from the get-go, which makes its action feel so totally off from the rest of the series.

1.8 Million was 3DS as of Sept 2017, so if we're really generous and say 3DS did 2 million.
The switch version is 1.6 Million. give or take (I'd imagine it's closer to 1.8 Million and might be a 50/50 split or close to it)
yeah i meant total, obviously the 3DS version isn't selling anything these days.
thanks.
Vergil reminds me of an actor. But I just can't figure it out. Bugged me so much while playing it lol
Hadn't realised that MH was Capcom's best performing current series, and by a long way as well. Crazy considering it never performed particularly well in the west before World.

Capcom is the goat dev. I usually say they are second only to Nintendo, but really I think they have surpassed them for me. I just enjoy their stuff a little bit more. (although Smash & BOtW are GOATS) and happy to see my favorite franchises get worldwide success. PS fans were really hungry for Mh to come back and I'm sure a lot of new folks tried it out for the first time and fell in love.
I can only imagine how stuff like DMC RE and SF are going to play with the new SSD and CPU! My God...next gen is gonna be amazing!

Awww yea can't wait for DMC V to become a 5m seller. Those are some good ass legs.
Also RE7 gonna take the RE throne from RE5. I wonder when RE2 will outpace it.
None of those SKUs are new titles like SF4 -> Super SF4. Its all just digital upgrades. 4.5m is great regardless of how you want to look at it.
Also They combine the SKUs of every game ever since PS4/XB1 gen. Thats why RE7,2 are way higher than other RE titles.
But yes the chart would look very different. SF2 will probably be at the top much higher than Monster Hunter , possibly followed by RE5.
I do agree that the chart is very unfair to older titles. SFV is in no way Capcom's 10th most successful title by any measure.

Master Edition [World + Iceborne] sales are only counted towards Iceborne figures, I highly doubt World wouldn't keep its first place.
I think you are forgetting the bajillion editions of SF2 that were released back then. The 6.3m figure is just for the First Launch SKU of SF2 on the SNES.
For titles older than PS2 era , Capcom don't count new SKUs towards the game sales ( stuff like PS "Greatest Hits" SKUs ).
Heck just adding the SKUs you see on the Platinum chart alone give SF2 around 14m of sales. Then theres tons of other budget SKUs that aren't shown because they didn't exceed 1m individually.
World + Iceborne is at 21 million. How much do you think SF2 sold to be "much higher"?
Am just throwing numbers here but , the Street Fighter Franchise sales were close to 35m before SFIV launched. Am willing to bet at least 25-30m of that is from SF2. Maybe 3-4m for All Alpha SKUs and around 1m from all SF3 SKUs.
Combining them for sfv actually made sense because if i wanted to keep playing sfv with my friends i didn't need to buy the new sku, while back in SF4 days i had to rebuy the game again just to keep playing with everyone else.
Exactly.
A fair comparison would be to combine sales of Super SFIV, AE and Ultra. Which roughly add up to around 5m.
Now its obviously unfair to ignore Vanilla SFIV's 3.4m sales. So I'd still say SFIV was the more successful title. But SFV wasn't a failure by any means , and it didn't release on Xbox. It would easily be over 5.5m if it was on Xbox too.
You only technically had to rebuy SFIV once to stay current (per platform). Vanilla SFIV had no upgrades, but Super SFIV could be upgraded all the way to Ultra.
Super SFIV and SFV virtually have the same exact sales model, and they now have virtually the same exact sales: 4.4 million (2010-2014) vs 4.5 million (2016-2020).
To me, the story really is that Street Fighter, the franchise, has sold 10 million copies in the last 10 years if you include Street Fighter x Tekken's 1.4 million copies. A steady million each year. Not world breaking numbers, but I think that's the actual size of the Street Fighter audience right now.

Nice solid results. I've grabbed everything Capcom has put out and they've definitely done a great job of things lately (even if I missed a few areas from OG3 in the remake...)
Hoping that we get to see the new MM game soon, as well as this rumored Capcom compilation (Arcade Stadium).

You're making calculations on the rounded numbers, the difference between the raw numbers must indeed be 600k.
Looks like the sfv haters finally shut up about its sales numbers. I guess it got too hard to downplay 4.5 million copies sold, not to mention all the season passes and cosmetics sales loll.
We both know that'll never happen! SFV could continue selling plenty per quarter and you'll still have the annual "SFV is dead" posts pop up here. Despite proof to the contrary!
SFV's legs after AE and CE have been pretty crazy. At this rate it will easily be over 6 Million by the time SFVI is out.
SFV might end up being a more profitable title than SFIV. Especially since it has far more profitable monetization models like you mentioned.
I think 5 million is a lock, but 6 million might be a stretch without new content.
If it gets any special upgrades for PS5 I can see a decent number of people buying, though.
These numbers are from the sales data up to March 31st, four days before RE3 came out. The next update to the Platinum titles list will be after June 30th, which April 1st - June 30th is the next period counted.
Yea 6m before SFVI might be a stretch. But 6m LTD seems like a lock.
Am just expecting another boost around SFVI announcement. USFIV got the same boost when SFV was announced.
