Total of 44 games sold over 1 million copies
Capcom doesn't appear to have lost steam at all over the years, and they've got the numbers to prove it. The Japanese industry giant has recently revealed their top 10 sellers up until the fiscal year ending in March 2009. The entire list of games to exceed 1 million copies sold is 44 strong.
The top 10 sellers aren't at all surprising, dominated mostly by Street Fighter and Resident Evil games, along with a few others, including the most recent Devil May Cry and a Monster Hunter title. Some other notables to appear elsewhere on the list are Resident Evil 4 (PS2) at 13, Dead Rising at 24 and Lost Planet at 25.
Sales numbers are for a single platform, so a few multiplatform games appear on the game more than once for different versions; note that PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sales are lumped together, where applicable. Here are the top 10 on that list of 44, along with year of release and total units sold.
- Street Fighter II (1992) - 6.3 million
- Resident Evil 2 (1998) - 4.96 million
- Resident Evil 5 (2009) - 4.4 million
- Street Fighter II Turbo (1993) - 4.1 million
- Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (1999) - 3.5 million
- Resident Evil (1996) - 2.75 million
- Monster Hunter Freedom 2 G (2008) - 2.55 million
- Street Fighter IV (2009) - 2.5 million
- Devil May Cry 4 (2008) - 2.4 million
- Dino Crisis (1999) - 2.4 million
3 of these are street fighter and 4 are resident evil. Which leaves a bit to be desired. *koff*originality*koff*
