Indeed.
I edited this into my original post just in case but I was too slow.
Sure but then we have RE 2 Remake which relased just LAST year and sits at 5.8 and has been out less time than them all.
Yes but there's no denying the success of "traditional" RE titles.....again, look at the sales figures of RE 2 remake which came out a year ago. The same way RE 7 is selling exponentially faster than the third best selling game- well RE 2 RM may well pass them both up. The bottom line is people are minimizing the impact of the perspective and throwing around tangibles , such as RE 7's sales and response, as a metric to allow change. I think we are all in agreement in saying that things will be more clear after RE 8 releases and it will give a better gauge of what indeed is "best". Cheers.

What if those people have played the game? Or tried the demo?
??? RE6 disappointed Capcom (they had to reforecast their sales goals twice) and RE2 only sold 500k more copies than RE7 (3m vs 2.5m). RE5 sold only 1.5 million in the first week (although 5m by the end of three weeks!), while RE6 sold 600k its first week. But more importantly, all of these games are still selling. Why? Well, for the same reasons RE7 is doing so much better. So, like I said, "This literally counts for every game there."
They explained Eveline in RE7 in a way that's fairly consistent with the rest of the series. It'll be fine.
People who played it were apparently pretty happy with it, to the point where Capcom promoted it to a main entry, so... No?
I'm honestly not sure what you mean.
True. We don't even know the full figures for RE5 and 6 since the Switch version isn't counted.
The 9.3m figure includes the re-release of RE6. RE2R sold 5m its first year (Jan-Dec), while RE7 sold 4m from Jan-Oct, so I'm not sure the Gold boost affected its tracking too much.
If your entire point was about what "disappointed Capcom" or not, then sure, I guess? But to me, it seemed like you were moving away from that particular point and adding asterisks to RE7's current sales figure for reasons that you'd have to add to all of the others (sales, price drops, revisions, re-releases, etc.). If you want to get to the nitty gritty, you also have to consider distribution differences. They used to ship more than they'd sell (sell-through, since they're technically sold when shipped) and Platinum Titles only counts for shipped for retail. Despite shipping a ton of copies at launch, RE6 only sold-through 600k in its first week but obviously it picked up steam through the years.
You think RE2R and RE7 will get 9-11M range??Yup I wouldnt be surprised if RE2 eventually became the #1 or #2 top selling RE game with 7 right behind it.
But like I mentioned in my edit. RE7 was made by 120 people, RE2 Remake had over 800 according to Capcom's NHK broadcast a few months before release. So RE7 could have very easily be a much more profitable title than RE2 was.
'Resident Evil 2' Remake Reportedly Took Over 800 Devs
We knew that the journey to recreating the magic that was Resident Evil 2 would be a big one, but [...]comicbook.com
Because it took RE5 and RE6 many more years than RE7 to hit 7m, despite RE7 trailing in the initial race to 5m. Also, RE6 shipped 4.5m at launch and depending on area, could warrant another 500k being shipped out within 6 months. RE6's actual sell-through in the first week was 600k ww.
