This is just objectively wrong ... just like you saying RE "went into third person". REVII did have ridiculously high expectations from Capcom at launch that were not met, but it's technically the fourth best selling game in the series when including remasters and the second best selling in the series not including them. Resident Evil 5 with Remaster: 12.1 mil Resident Evil 5: 10.1 mil Resident Evil 4 with all versions: 10 mil Resident Evil 6 with Remaster: 10 mil Resident Evil 7: 8.5 mil Resident Evil 6: 7.7 mil Resident Evil 4 (original 6th gen only): 3.9 mil I feel it's a little stupid to include every remaster available when talking about the most popular games in the franchise. When people have to rebuy a game to experience it again, that's obviously going to affect sales. |
He may be talking about launch sales for Res 7. While Res 7 did undoubtedly sell well lifetime, it's launch was a disappointment, with Capcom only shipping/selling digital 2.5m copies first week, compared to 4.5m for Res 6 and 4m for Res 5 first week. The small launch shipment caused Capcom's stock to fall several percentage points at the time, as investors were expecting a launch in line with the previous two main series games. |
Probably just me thinking that was lifetime actually, my bad.
