Capcom Reveals Lifetime Sales Rankings: Resident Evil Dominates

Capcom has unveiled comprehensive sales rankings for its most successful video game franchises, with Resident Evil emerging as the clear leader at 167 million units sold. The data, released through a recent financial report, showcases significant performance gaps between the company’s top-performing series.

Monster Hunter secures the second position with 108 million units, while Street Fighter rounds out the top three with 56 million units sold. The substantial difference in sales volumes highlights Resident Evil’s dominant position in Capcom’s portfolio, outselling its nearest competitor by nearly 60 million units.

1. Resident Evil – 167 million units
2. Monster Hunter – 108 million units
3. Street Fighter – 56 million units
4. Mega Man – 42 million units
5. Devil May Cry – 33 million units
6. Dead Rising – 18 million units
7. Dragon’s Dogma – 13 million units
8. Ace Attorney – 13 million units
9. Marvel vs. Capcom – 12 million units
10. Onimusha – 8.7 million units

The rankings reveal interesting patterns in franchise performance. Dragon’s Dogma has achieved 13 million units sold with just two mainline games and a regional MMORPG, matching the sales figures of the more extensively published Ace Attorney series. Meanwhile, Onimusha maintains its position in the top ten despite minimal recent activity, having only released a remaster and VR demo since 2018.

Several franchises on the list have demonstrated strong sales despite extended periods without new releases. Ace Attorney, for instance, has maintained its 13 million unit position without a new installment since 2017, excluding ports and compilations. The data provides valuable insight into the long-term performance of Capcom’s intellectual properties, regardless of their current active status in the market.
