It's one of my favorite games in the series, so great news for me!!
I think that I need to play the hd version for ps4 now once and for all hahah

Maybe after RE4, REmake and RE0 come to switch they can get RE5 and RE6 on there to boost the sales a bit more. Heck, you could probably even get split screen co-op working in tablet mode!

While Remake is a remake of RE1 , but technically it is a totally different game , it isnt a port or even a remaster of an old game
I've never once seen an argument about RE6 that wasn't "it's not survival horror anymore" and viewed it for what it actually is.
A bad game.
Doesn't matter what genre label you want to slap it with, it is a piss poor game.
Off the top of my head, the most notable ones would be:
1. Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock Version
2. Resident Evil 2 (N64)
3. Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles (sold 600K in FY 2009)
4. Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D
5. Resident Evil Revelations 3DS (300K in Japan alone)
6. Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 (210K in Japan alone)
7. Resident Evil 4 (PS3/360)
8. Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X (PS3/360)
9. Resident Evil Revelations (Switch/PS4/XB1)
10. Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Switch)
11. Resident Evil 5 (PC)
12. Resident Evil 6 (PC)
13. Resident Evil 4 (PC)
15. Resident Evil (Saturn)
16. Resident Evil Deadly Silence (DS)
17. Resident Evil (PSN)
18. Resident Evil 2 (PSN)
19. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PSN)
20. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (PC)
Coupled with everything else ever released, 20 million isn't too farfetched.
You can think that, but the numbers are on my side.

Thats 20 titles and 20m unlisted copies, that would mean each of those titles are all very close to the 1m mark considering there might be few more missed SKUs. ( Like budget re-releases)
The numbers include sales at $5 on PSN sales or maybe even less, so are not truly indicative of relative popularity over multiple eras.
Every RE game has sales, at some point people should come to terms with the fact that RE5 is mega popular.

Umbrella Corps was sold as low as $1 in the $1 tier of a Capcom humble bundle , Yet no way in hell it will reach that Platinum page or go near it , so extreme bargain bin prices =/= not always Multiple millions sales over years
Also , RE5 Remaster at PS4/X1 reached 1M pretty fast
I didn't say anything was more popular than anything else.
The point is, unless you have how much each sale was for, or total revenue per game as well as total sales, the numbers can be manipulated by sale prices. If for example RE6 was constantly on sale for $1, people are obviously more likely to try it out. If RE5 never hits prices that low, it doesn't have that same chance.
RE5 is a great popcorn game. Sure it's not survival horror and barely qualifies as a Resident Evil game, but as a coop action game it's up there as one of the best. It's just very... fun.
Folks get this weird possessiveness over franchises and don't like when they cater to a different audience or branch out to other genres but, really, it's totally fine as long as we don't get into "dinosaurs in space" territory.

I've never once see an argument against RE6 that wasn't bad.
In Capcom's platinum list? Yes. But that list only counts releases that sold 1m+ units. If you combine all versions of RE4, the game sold far over 7.3m.
