It took nearly four years, three different platforms, and five different SKU releases, but Biohazard 4 has finally surpassed 1 Million sales units in Japan alone according to tracker Famitsu. The last game to sell 1 Million was Biohazard 3: Last Escape on the PSone nearly ten years ago; before that, Biohazard 1 and 2 were the only million sellers. Meanwhile, Keiji Inafune said a few weeks ago in Famitsu that he expects one of the versions of Biohazard 5 (obviously the PS3 version) to sell 500K units.
The breakdown is as follows:
Resident Evil 4 (PlayStation 2): 454,979 [total as of the end of 2006]
Resident Evil 4 (PlayStation 2 The Best, 2006): 148,868 [total as of the end of 2007]
