Remake of Resident Evil 4
Capcom last disclosed remake sales in its financial statement for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. At that time, the company reported that by the end of the year, the game had been bought 6.48 million times. The total sales of the Resident Evil series as of the end of 2023 amounted to more than 154 million copies.
Now the remake of Resident Evil 4 is the seventh best—selling game in the series, according to data from Capcom's "platinum list of games." It includes games with sales of over 1 million copies. However, we note that in this list, the company separately counts sales of game reissues. For example, Resident Evil 5, released in 2009 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and Resident Evil 5, released in 2016 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, are different games in the list with different numbers of copies sold.
