Capcom has enjoyed success in recent years with being on track for 10 straight fiscal years of operation income growth. The gaming company has sold 29.1 million units as of December 31, 2022, which is up from 25.8 million units the year before.

For the current fiscal year, which is set to end on March 31, 2023, Capcom is expecting a record breaking total for the full fiscal year with 40 million games sold. This is driven by growth in catalog games.

Capcom has also shared its list of Platinum Titles, games that have sold over one million units as of December 31, 2022. The list includes 110 games with sales over one million units, 55 over two million units, 12 over five million units, and five over 10 million units sold.

When they're done with remaking the Resident Evil games can they please start remaking / making new Dino Crisis!!!

Imagine a Dino Crisis Remake, that's be the dream.

But after what they cut for REmake 3, I dunno, I'm highly sceptical at this point.

I think at this point if Capcom can do a Dino Crisis remake as good as RE3 remake i'll be happy enough. Remake Dino Crisis 2 as well but should scrap Dino Crisis 3 or change that one.

Wait, you mean you want it to be like REmake 3 and have content cut out and last 4 hrs long?

I was hoping it would be more like 2 and be somewhat close to the OG game and come with extra content.
