Zombies good for Capcom piggybank, Resi Evil the top franchise

From this year’s financial paperwork, Capcom is undoubtedly behind Resident Evil as it’s revealed to be their biggest selling property - over 40m lifetime sales.

Their second favourite? Mega Man with 28m, though Street Fighter seems a little envious and determined to catch up at 27m. Other franchises are nowhere near these hot shots.

Resident Evil 5’s bulging co-op muscle has massacred its way past 4 million sales, with Street Fighter IV crotch-kicking through 2 million. Here’s Capcom’s Top 15:

1. Resident Evil - 40m

1. Mega Man - 28m

2. Street Fighter - 27m

3. Devil May Cry - 10m

4. Monster Hunter - 8.5m

5. Onimusha - 7.8m

6. Dino Crisis - 4.4m

7. Ghosts ‘N Goblins - 4.4m

8. Final Fight - 3.2m

9. Ace Attorney - 3.2m

10. Breath of Fire - 3m

11. Lost Planet - 2.7m

12. Commando - 1.2m

13. 1942 - 1.2m

14. Sengoku BASARA - 1.2m

Capcom unleash another zombie craze this year with the release of Dead Rising 2 which is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
