Everyone's Favourite Resident Evil Game Somehow Tops Nine Million Sales

Can’t wait for my copy of Resident Evil 5 Super Ultra Turbo XD Rainbow Remix on my backwards compatible PS5....cause we all know capcom will find ways to port and sell it’s old games even with backwards compatibility on the horizon.

I didn't buy 5,6,or 7. Are they worth playing?

@Cutmastavictory 5 is fantastic if you have a friend to play with (it’s split screen too on PS3/4) 6 deserves to be tossed into a toaster oven, but still can be a good afternoon killer with a friend.
But 5 is just phenomenal. Was my first RE game besides getting wrecked as a little kid with PS1’s nemesis.
Almost have two platinums in 5! Haha just one more trophy in my PS4 version to go.

This has to be because theres always copies of 5 and 6 in the Walmart bargain bin. An abundance of cheap copies available is the only logical explanation.

Of RE6 one, second hand it was a fiver I think only played the first part of Leon's story then stopped

I really liked Leon's episode on that game.

I hope RE2 remake goes on to sell this many, it's the best in the series.

I've only ever bought 7 to play it on psvr. Haven't got around it yet, though.

Has it met Capcom's sales expectations yet?

5 has a soft spot in my heart for being the first PS3 game I owned. 6 is awful. My biggest disappointment last gen.

@Splat Ever try RE: Operation Raccoon City? Cause that game was even bigger of a disappointment of a RE game last gen.

How? The game is garbage, just goes to show the majority will buy any shooty nonsense, 7 and 2 remake are a million times better with 5 being half decent

Resi 6 is a good game. It has problems. The first half of Leon campaign is a good horror experience if you play on Professional like the game was meant to played on. The second half isn’t as good because it doesn’t put in itself in a location to use hordes like the first half in the city. I’ve got it and do a few of my friends. I’d love to see another Resi 6 Resi game that likes an improved version of the first half of Leon’s campaign. It has all the marks for a Resi game.

Sadly I bought this just to finish off my RE collection on the ps4, I'm apart of the problem and brought shame and dishonor to the gaming community T-T

I'm planning on playing through this series in chronological order. I'm actually looking forward to this one. I know it's not the survival horror people wanted, but I don't mind taking a detour to just play an action game instead, and from what I've heard, this game does have some really fun action sequences.

Eh, I still really liked RE6. Really solid coop game all around too. Not really sure I understand why it's popular to hate on it.

@kyleforrester87 would be fine if you could put her in a box like Ashley, but she is just annoying. Take away all her weapons and get her to carry your ammo is the only way to play.

@thefirst nah. People took a huge dump on it at E3 because it was all bombastic action and no survival horror. Hence, a lot of the hype got killed before it came out.

@Frigate very cool avatar mate! I think I’ve seen it somewhere but can’t recall where, could you please help me out? 😄

Remember having a blast playing this with a buddy in co-op. Never felt any re was scary and enjoyed them more for the campy action... of course until re7 freaked me out.

@3MonthBeef Started with 3. I probably played Code Veronica on Dreamcast the most though. 7 is my favorite, but some of my best coop gaming memories were playing 5 and 6 with my brother.

I think the people who claim 6 is terrible are saying it's terribly nothing like 1-3. 6 itself is still a fun game... again, in my opinion.

@zazzy
Not at all, although if you said it was easily the best Resi game, I would be quite concerned, heh.

How is RE4 not the highest selling game in the series!? It's one of the most highly rated games ever, and it was released on GCN, PS2, PS3, PS4, PC, Wii, Wii U, 360, Xbone, and mobile.
I personally bought it on 3 different systems.

RE5 was funny when Leon is in the jeep going over the sand dunes getting whiplash and taking wesker out with an RGP.
The multiplayer was fun as well.
RE7 is amazing and RE2remake and RE1 remake as well i loved 0 on the gamecube.

@sketchturner RE4 is way overrated IMO; decent horror game and decent action game. Had it been like the village and the farm the whole game it would at least have been a great horror game.

I'm just gonna say it, RE6 is by far my favourite game in the modern series. 4 is a huge escort quest (ugh) and 5 is borderline unplayable solo thanks to Sheva's appalling AI. Compared to either of those games RE6 is a near masterpiece!

I bought RE 6 (for PS3 back in 2012 and PS4 in 2017 to have all the games on PS4) so I'm part of the problem. That said, as garbage as Chris' and Jake's campaigns are, I don't regret getting the game because I thought Leon's and Ada's campaigns were really good. Of course, I hope Capcom never goes back to that style. What we got in RE 2 remake is what they need to stick with. Eventhough I love RE 7 I don't want to see first person perspective return in the future unless it's a VR exclusive spinoff game.

@kyleforrester87 haha

@Arugula are you mad?

@Stragen8 that's a spinoff

@Imagremlin better than 7?😝

@carlos82 are you mad?

@sketchturner actually 5 is cause sold 11 million copies

@Undeadlogan why because I think Resi 7 and 2 are better than Resident Evil 6? Because they are much better

@carlos82 oh ok

@Imagremlin so sales determines which game is better?
