The Zone of the Enders series sold 1.8m with only two games in the entries. The original 4 silent hill games sold around only 4.8 million in total.

Its not that much of a difference

and thats by far his biggest success apart from a MGS game. Im not sure the VGC numbers are correct on the SH games.

Those were different times, the fact that the HD collection almost outsold the original games shows the potential. Also Konami never released ZoE on PC and PS4 who are more future proof platforms.

Silent Hill was never as big in sales as most people think,  why else do you think they closed down team silent at the time? Its because of low sales, tough it still ended up more than the newer silent hill games made by western studios.

However the original team silent games could have sold much much more and keep selling if konami would have released a properly running HD remaster just like ZoE did if not even more. They still have the possibility today on PC and at least PS2 classic version on PS4 using Sonys emulator. A properly done remaster would be the best choice imo. These old games are still popular in todays zeitgeist, they never were just treated properly
