Heads-up, they aren't expecting SFVI until Q1 2022, so that may factor into their expectations for SFV's sales relative to SFVI's release.

Yeah, I had hoped for more in the end as well. Even if it's somewhat expensive at 40 bucks for DLC, it offers a lot of new content. Especially for series veterans and fans, though, with many classic monsters returning, so that might also show which demographic even cares about Iceborne. I guess the broader casual demographic was done with the game after World's base game. Shame, really.
Wtf ... Then is SFV going to be CPT Finals in 2021 ? What was the whole "Champion wont auto qualify" rule for then.
yet we still won't get a new RE game in that style, just more remakes
Well to be fair. MHW has been discounted and is also constantly selling. If you launch align MHW and Iceborne sales. It would be roughly 60%. Which seems about right for an expansion.
I mean Ethan is a Civilian/normal person. While RE5 and 6 are Badass Soldier, Agent, and SPY.
You may be sarcastic here, but the sales data is from March 31st, four days before RE3 came out.
I wouldn't take those numbers as absolute. Because Capcom do not combine SKUs for old games. MMX,MM2..etc could have sold way more with all SKUs combined.
The franchise sales were over 30m way back in 2000s. There is noway a franchise could hit that number and only have 4 million sellers.
Sorry, I missed that "small" detail
I'm looking at those MH numbers and thinking back to all those years ago where people were saying that nobody wants a HD MH on console and that it would sell only 2-3 million at tops. Look at that shit. Capcom is eating fam.
Cataloge sales looks pretty good for Capcom.
No mention of RE sales on Switch it seems?
MM11 is now the third best selling single game in the franchise to right?
That's pretty cool for a franchise that was 'dead' not too long ago.
Hopefull we'll see something new soon! =)

Its super popular in the Asian market. And that's a region where Handhelds never really caught on and PC is huge. PC is a big driver of sales for MHW.
We know that RE3 has already sold at least 2.5 million, maybe even more by this point (I forget when the 2.5 number came), so those thinking (hoping?) for bomba can get that out of their system lol
Happy for the Mega Man series to get another million-seller that isn't a compilation.
Wish it was a Mega Man game that I actually liked, but at least it keeps the series from being put on ice again.

Cumulatives sales of RE5 are now 11,6 millions.
It's going to be hard for RE2R to pass RE5. RE5 on PS3/Xbox360 is 9,9 millions.

I absolutely love seeing both RE6 and RE7 so high because it shows how versatile Resident Evil can be while keeping it's popularity, even when the two games are as different and polarizing as they can be. That's just such rarity in gaming, especially when fandoms are so adverse to change.
Glad to see that SFV still has legs!
Super bummed that COVID-19 has ruined Capcom Pro Tour -- I miss seeing those in-person pro matches. *sobs

SFV number is depressing considering it's on PC and a console with a 120+ million users.
Same goes for DMC5, granted yeah it's been on gamepass for months but still.

I think there's a good chance that Resident Evil 9 will be a new third person game. RE8 would have already been in development before REmake 2's success, so fo course it was going to follow on from RE7. I feel that the game's weird demotion and reinstatement as a mainline title could very well be due to Capcom deciding to go back to third person and trying to decide whether to relegate first person to spin-off territory or not.
People need to stop making claims we'll never see X type of Resident Evil again. Before RE7 everyone had written off there ever being a survival horror game again. There will be a new third person game sooner or later.
DMC5's numbers are really good. For the series, genre and Capcom games in general. Unless sales drop like a rock, it should make it to 5M within 12-15 months, give or take.
Y'see it came out during a pandemic that's shutting down everything, so it should've sold way more because all people can do is sit home and play games. The fact that a remake of a game that was always seen as RE2's lesser brother ended up selling less in the same time period as REmake 2 shows it's an abject failure!

I hope not. Let this first person trilogy stay its course, then they can switch up the format again for 10-12.
1-3 is the fixed camera trilogy, 4-6 is the third person OTS trilogy, 7-9 should be the first person/VR trilogy
