Capcom is one of the giants in the gaming industry, and it earned its reputation through its stable of hit franchises. This year has been a good one for the company, with titles such as Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6 releasing to critical acclaim. Capcom’s most recent quarterly report revealed the company’s bestselling franchises, and there aren’t many surprises.
Capcom franchises continue to thrive – here are the top five as of July 2023
As a surprise to nobody, Resident Evil tops the list, with 146 million units sold in the franchise’s entire lifetime. This number has been boosted by Resident Evil 4 Remake, which has sold 5 million units as of July 2023.
Other titles in the series also continue to sell well, with Resident Evil 2 Remake surpassing 12 million units sold. Fans of the franchise can look forward to RE4 Remake’s VR mode which is in development.
The rest of the list looks like this:
2. Monster Hunter – 94 million units
3. Street Fighter – 52 million units
4. Mega Man – 40 million units
5. Devil May Cry – 29 million units
6. Dragon’s Dogma – 7.7 million units
Monster Hunter’s lifetime sales are to be expected, as the report also reveals that Monster Hunter Rise has sold over 13 million units, with Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak selling over 6 million units. Street Fighter 6, the latest entry in the series, launched in June and has already sold over 2 million units.
Plenty of upcoming Capcom titles will ensure those sales numbers stay high. This includes Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy. Hopefully, the indefinitely delayed Pragmata also sees the light of day eventually.
