Actually not bad
good for them.
I'm sure it was profitable, but it didn't do great.
The best game since RE2, but not a great seller. I can not understand this. If you have PSVR and have no RE7, you are losing an amazing experience. Like, life changing.
Ah... with the gold edition i guess. Still not interested and i hope the remake (assuming it sticks to the classic style) will do better. I'm not a fan of FPS RE.
Yeah that is not getting to 10 million
No one expected it to sell 10 million, and the other games in the franchise didn't reach 10m either.
It will do over 5m lifetime, I think that's pretty good for this game.
Poor legs
Actually really normal
According to Capcom's financial sales, Resident Evil 5 sold 9.5m (for some reason they list the vanilla version and the Gold version separatedly). If we add Steamspy data, since the PC version isn't listed, Resident Evil 5 has sold 10.5m units. And this is still without taking into account whatever sales the PS4/Xbox One port might have given it (it's probably over 11m).
I don't doubt Resident Evil 7 is pulling some decent numbers, but it ain't touching Resident Evil 5 anytime soon, (which is Capcom's best-selling game to date behind Street Fighter 2 I think).
I meant to add, it's not like any Capcom game has to reach RE5's level of sales these days, though RE7 did start with some unrealistic expectations and they had to tone them down afterwards.
