... You clearly recognize that your numbers for RE5 are a combination of the original and Gold. Why are you saying it's a singular release? |
I'm not sure if this is a miscommunication or you are not understanding what I'm saying.
Based on the Top 10 you posted, and its order, I infer you took it from their Platinum Titles Financial page, this one:

Problem is, Capcom has a very weird way to display their platinum titles. There's only one criteria they adhere when doing so, and that's calculating the sales of a specific released version based on the time it was released. Resident Evil 5, originally, was only released for 360 and Ps3. The same year RE5 was released, it got ported to PC, but that's unaccounted by Capcom because it released at a later time.
With that in mind, you said the following thing:
"CAPCOM does not have a singular installment to any game series to break 10mill. Im honestly shocked by that. RE6 is nearly CAPCOM's top selling game but misses it by a measly 200k to RE5"
CAPCOM does have a singular installment that has sold over 10m and that's Resident Evil 5. By using only the first entry in their Platinum Titles financial, you miss the fact that the Gold Version, the PC version and the Xbox One/PS4 version are all accounted on later pages, which add to the total sales number of Resident Evil 5.
It is the same case with other entries on the list. Resident Evil 4 original version, the GameCube one, is listed alone at 1.8m. But RE4, the installment, the singular game itself, has sold more than that with the PS2, Wii and HD ports which are all also accounted in the Platinum Financials but in different sports based on the time of the release of said versions.
