The highlights of the new releases included in Capcom’s financial results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year 2023 were the Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6 video games. On the other hand, previous iterations of the Resident Evil series, such as Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, continue to do quite well financially.
The former has racked up an astounding 13.13 million copies sold during its existence, bringing the total number of copies sold during this fiscal year to 1.18 million (an increase from the 12.6 million copies announced earlier this year). During the same period, the Resident Evil 3 remake sold 970,000 copies, bringing its total lifetime sales to 8.04 million. This is an increase from its previous total of 7.6 million. As of right now, lifetime sales for the series have reached 150 million, which is an increase over the 146 million that were recorded as of June 30, 2023.
Alternative Ways, an alternative path for Ada that is playable in Resident Evil 4 Remake and is accessible as paid downloadable content, was just recently made available. The number of units sold was not given; nonetheless, the downloadable content has been met with widespread praise.
