Today Capcom released an update of shipments of its million seller games including titles like Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 2, and Monster Hunter: World.

We learn that currently Devil May Cry 5 has shipped 2.1 million units, Resident Evil 2 has shipped 4.2 million units, while Monster Hunter: World is at 12.4 million units.

Those are certainly some quite flattering numbers considering the reach of each series, and show how Capcom has improved the quality of its games considerably over the past few years.

Speaking of the respective franchises, Resident Evil has shipped 91 million units shipped, Monster Hunter is at 54 million units, Devil May Cry is at 20 million.

The numbers are updated as of March 31, 2019.

Damn, DMCV needs to sell more!!!

 

[JimmyRustler]

Very nice. Soooo glad for RE2. Even more impressive when you consider that it hasn't been heavily discounted yet.

 

[Graciaus]

I only bought DMC5. I thought it would do better then that.

DMCV had so many cutscenes I bailed like 5 chapters in.

RE2 was dope though.

 

[deriks]

DmC 5 deserves more sells

 

[Hudo]

Excellent news. That means there's money for Mega Man Legends 3.

 

[The Shepard]

I brought and loved all 3, capcom have redeemed themselves this past few years Imo. Other studios should take note.

 

[CyberPanda]

Good job Capcom.

Let see the spin the Nintendo fanboys put on these numbers.

Great for Capcom, that means RE3 is a lock..........Monster Hunter is a beast, .......I do hope they work on the engine though, it takes really beefy hardware to run Monster Hunter and I wish it would look as good as Project Awakening for the next entry....

Skus shipped doesnt equate to actual sales.

How did they manage to sell 12,4 million Monster Hunter . . . I always though outside of Japan this Game is dead . . .

That’s what Nintendo bots thought. Boy they were proved wrong.

I'm really happy for Capcom they are becoming one of my favourite developers. Bare in mind as a pc gamer I wasn't really exposed to their franchises early on.

 

[VertigoOA]

I guess that’s it for dmc

 

[Solarstrike]

Saving the best for next-gen. Dragon's Dogma 2 will lead the way.

I'm hearing rumors from a "reliable" and popular Smash Bros leaker that a new Mon Hun or Switch is in development too!

Seeing as Gen was basically the "greatest hits" of early Monster Hunter, and with the rise of the mega popular World, I'm predicting similar mechanics (an update) from world with an all new story and numbered entry. honestly keeping Worlds Monsters out and including new ones with the obvious classic roster.

And why not really? It's more popular than ever before, and a new game on the go would be more than welcome.

Sorry to derail, but Capcoms balls out right now and I'm hoping it's true.
