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
-
Mega Man - 28m
-
Street Fighter - 27m
-
Devil May Cry - 10m
-
Monster Hunter - 8.5m
-
Onimusha - 7.8m
-
Dino Crisis - 4.4m
-
Ghosts ‘N Goblins - 4.4m
-
Final Fight - 3.2m
