SFV has amazing legs (like Chun-Li of course) and RE7 is a monster. Speaking of monster, MHW will forever serve the best crow

Yuja Wang has amazing legs... Chun-Li is a fictional character. She has whatever legs they give to her.

I remember when Capcom used to be afraid to bring the Monster Hunter series to the US. World blew up beyond belief.
The next version of Monster Hunter is going to be absolutely insane with an unlimited budget and support for years.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Capcom should make the next MH their absolute cash cow (kinda like FFIV for SE) and then finance all future RE with this.

Glad to see RE2 is selling so well. That game was such an achievement.

 

[Diddy X]

Good, re7 was great.

 

[GenericUser]

Quality games performing well (MH) and lots of sales for one of my favorite franchises of all time (RE) - win win. Capcom really deserves this success.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

RE2 remake is on its way to become the best selling RE game. It's selling at much faster rate than any other RE game.

RE3 remake was not as good as 2 but still excellent and much better than all the garbage that came after 2004. Hope it is sells well.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

RE2 remake is on its way to become the best selling RE game. It's selling at much faster rate than any other RE game.

I know! RE8 will also be massive considering the success of RE7 too.

 

[mejin]

I remember when Monster Hunter would be finished if it wasn't coming to Nintendo. Good times.

 

[martino]

i hope capcom will see there is room for a tps re game like remake.
sure it's easier and cheaper to produce horror fps....so my hope is sadly not big

this dragon dogma sequel needs to be announced now.

 

[ZehDon]

Glad to see RE7 doing so well, playing it in VR is still the scariest experience I've ever had. Also really happy to see REmake2 doing those kinds of numbers. I adored it, and would love to see an original entry made in that same style.

 

[yurinka]

It's amazing to see Street Fighter V still selling copies on its 5th year, this quarter even without new character releases or big eSports events. It's only 200-300K copies away of passing 2 games (the original RE2 and MHF3) and becoming the 8th best selling Capcom game ever (7th if we don't count Iceborne because it's a DLC) and 2nd best selling Capcom fighting game ever.

It is also nice to see RE7 and RE2R up there with potential of ending the two best selling RE games ever, and DMCV still selling as the best selling DMC ever. And well, MHW still there breaking historical records.

[Killer Sakoman]

Yes, but I don't like the character Ethan. They need to develop him alot in this game. I also hope for varied enemies and boss fights.

God bless Capcom.

I don't like all their games but they sure all are professional and the ones I do like, I like a lot.

 

[Camreezie]

You would think with those numbers they would give us a new Dead rising , even if it was a reboot after the damage 4 did

 

[sojuwarrior]

is SFV at 4.7m considered to be disappointing? what are the sales figure for SFIV like?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Dragon's Dogma is 5 mil+

It should be turned into a franchise.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

is SFV at 4.7m considered to be disappointing? what are the sales figure for SFIV like?

Quite the contrary. It is the 10th best selling Capcom title of all time and the 2nd best selling fighting game from Capcom from a single SKU - all this while only being released on two platforms. It’s debatable whether or not SFV would have sold more with both the XB1 and Switch included, but I’m sure it would have been a couple million extra at the very least.

 

[mckmas8808]

Makes me wish Capcom is going to make RE8 work in PSVR for the PS5.

 

[DiddyKongRacing69]

SF5's continued success is a disgrace since it is probably one of if not the worst entries in the series.

 

[Kokoloko85]

SF V doing well despite the crap start. It deserved some of the hate at the start it but it has done well since. It had hate since it was announced as an Exclusive

 

[Ten_Fold]

Sf5 is probably my LEAST favorite and played sf game, got all the way to like ultra diamond rank and never touched it again, just wasn’t a fan. I’m still glad it sold well enough so hopefully sf6 will get a good budget.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

SF5's continued success is a disgrace since it is probably one of if not the worst entries in the series.

Said no one ever. It’s one of the best.

 

[SilentUser]

Capcom is doing damn fine. Good! They produced some great games this gen.

 

[Reindeer]

is SFV at 4.7m considered to be disappointing? what are the sales figure for SFIV like?

Don't worry, they probably made ten times that with microtransactions.

 

[WellSheet]

Okay. So...Okami is definitely due a sequel. A true sequel. Unless that game cost a 50+ million dev and marketing...at what... almost 15 years ago to develop? 3.1 million should show Capcom - if it’s budgeted right - they can soft reboot or make a sequel and it could actually BE a hit (relative).

 

[Dee_Dee]

MHW is one of best games this generation. Happy for its sales

Seems like everybody is making money on consoles these days, the gaming world community has grown by millions this generation.
Even once niche games like Yakuza and Persona are selling millions, when once they just expected 500K per installment.

 

[sleepingbear]

My favorite publisher/dev in the business by far. Glad to see they are doing well

 

[Azurro]

I'm surprised re6 has sold so well, given how badly received it was.

 

[Pejo]

MHW is in the running for game of the generation for me personally, but please Capcom - no more clutch claw in MHW2.

Anyways, I'm glad that they're enjoying success, I look forward to what's next.

 

[TGO]

RE2 Remake creeping up on RE7 already.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I'd like to know the split between vanilla SFV, Arcade Edition and Champion Edition (plus the split between PS4 and PC). I think it's fair to say the game's done decent in terms of regular sales, but it's a blessing the DLC sales have been very strong otherwise it'd be disappointing overall.

With the DLC factored in I supposed SFV has generated more revenue than SFIV did, even if versions of SFV have been on steep discount sales every now and again on Steam.

Quite the contrary. It is the 10th best selling Capcom title of all time and the 2nd best selling fighting game from Capcom from a single SKU - all this while only being released on two platforms. It’s debatable whether or not SFV would have sold more with both the XB1 and Switch included, but I’m sure it would have been a couple million extra at the very least.

"Single" SKU isn't quite true. They've had three: Vanilla, Arcade, and Champion. The difference is unlike with SFIV people with Vanilla could just simply buy the Arcade and Champion content if they liked, bu that still technically makes it 3 SKUs. If you want to split that into platforms, then you have to consider PS4 and PC variants of each to run on the respective platforms.

Conversely, SFIV had versions across PS3 and 360, and the 3DS (much later), in addition to PC. It also had a Vanilla, Super, and Ultra editions but no way to just buy the extra content if you already had Vanilla. IIRC SFIV LTD sales were about 6.9 million across all versions and platforms. However, SFV has definitely generated more revenue and profit due to DLC, but I'm not sure if that's exactly a fair metric to go by in comparing performance with SFIV considering that type of DLC model wasn't really possible in PS360 era (even if the tech were mostly there, the mindset among gamers definitely wasn't, neither were purchasing habits WRT physical/digital).

Monster Hunter World could sell 20M and Icebourne 20M if they don't bring out the sequel too soon from now.

 

[Astral Dog]

omg im so happy for RE7 one of the best horror game ever

 

[Astral Dog]

RE7 will get another push when VILLAGE gets closer and the portable Switch 2 edition gets released one day

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Monster Hunter World is killing it.

 

[Helios]

is SFV at 4.7m considered to be disappointing? what are the sales figure for SFIV like?

Depends on how many copies were sold at a discounted price, I guess. The game goes on sale like every few months with free trials. Probably helps that the game is in a much better state than it was in the first few seasons.

 

[Astral Dog]

They just released two of those recently, now its the time for another wonderfully horrific VR fps adventure

Also its silly to say just because its first person its easier or cheaper to make, Capcom made best first person horror the perspective works very well maybe they just wanted to push their vision a bit further, i bet VILLAGE is gonna be more ambitions than many people expect

thx Capcom

we'll see
RE7 feel not high level of production in comparison to remake to me
and i don't like the type of game at all so i will not hope they produce them.

If you want to split that into platforms, then you have to consider PS4 and PC variants of each to run on the respective platforms.

I see where you are coming from. However, I would still say it’s a single SKU (as Capcom also think) because every single person who had the original vanilla gane could upgrade to the Arcade/Champion version of the game for free - which includes free balance, modes, gameplay changes etc. With SFIV there were multiple editions where someone had to buy in order to be in the same player pool, hence they were separated. It’s interesting what you said about revenue, I wouldn’t be surprised if SFV generates far more revenue than previous SF titles with their current model.

 

[yurinka]

is SFV at 4.7m considered to be disappointing? what are the sales figure for SFIV like?

I'd say no.

As SKU it's the top 10 best selling Capcom game ever (9th if we don't include Iceborne because it's an standalone DLC). And selling at this speed it has been done this last year, I think it's pretty likely that will outsell 2 games more becoming the 8th best selling Capcom game ever (7th if not counting Iceborne). The only other Capcom fighting game SKU that sold more than SFV is the first SFII for SNES.

Can't be exactly compared, because the SFV updates are free DLC, while in SFIV were almost always a separated game. On top of that SFV still didn't end its lifecycle while SFIV did, and SFV has been only released in 2 platforms while SFIV was in 6 platforms. In any case:
SFIV 3.4m
SSFIV 1.9m
SSFIV 3D 1.3m
SSFIVAE 1.1m
USFIV 1.4m

Combined, it's 9.1m. But again, can't be compared because in that figure each player who has been updating to the newer version or bought the portable one is counted several times, while isn't the case in SFV because there he buys or download stuff for free.

We also have to consider that for that same reason, SFV made a ton of money more than its sales number because in addition to these game updates during these 5 years they also released a ton of free and paid dlc, and it must had great DLC sales because if not they would have stopped it before, and they mentioned that the season v was going to feature more content than initially planned because of great player support buying the previous stuff. SFIV series instead had a very little amount of DLC.

If we look at daily active users on Steam (we don't have it on PS4), we see SFV has more than SSFIV/SSFIVAE/USFIV (seems to share the same Steam SKU since it has tracking way before its launch and the other SFIV skus don't appear in steam.db):

If we look at Twitch viewship, number of tournaments, tournament participation or tournament viewship SFV also has better numbers than SFIV series. As of now we can only see the later moments of SFIV series at sullygnome.com:

It's very likely that SFV may have already generated more revenue than the entire SFIV series. Consider also that in the Capcom financial report of the year MHW was released and become the best selling Capcom ever they did put SFV on the cover story instead to talk about the comeback the game was having after its weak launch due to the improvements and relaunch they did with SFVAE and the eSports. A year later Capcom also decided to be commited to heavily invest on eSports (so SFV) as a key focus for the present and the future of the company starting a multiple decades long roadmap. This means Capcom is very happy with SFV even if it had its issues specially at launch.

 

[WellSheet]

It’ll be interesting to see - depending on factors - where RE3make’s sales lie in about a year. Maybe 5ish million?
