- Resident Evil 4 (PS2) - 2.1 millions
- Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii) - 1.6 million
- Resident Evil Outbreak (PS2) - 1.45 million

*Resident Evil titles for the Gamecube ain't included because Gamecube is not a current gen console.

RE5 sales are really impressive, with the new version and the low price edition should hit 6.5 millions at least.

If there's PS2, why isn't GC included? Would be nice to see RE4's total sales.

Why is RE 4 numbers separate? Shouldn't they be combined like RE 5?

because they weren't launch at the same time

So REmake and Zero didn't even shift a million?

Capcom's decision to repackage them on Wii makes even more sense to me now.

Looks like they broke a million to me:

Wow, those Re5 sales are insane! O_O, No wonder they are making an Alternative Edition, atleast 1 million of the orginal buyers might repurchase?
...CASH COW! * MOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Seems odd that they wouldn't put them on this new list.

That's because Gamecube isn't a current gen console anymore, so they didn't include any RE GC sales numbers. RE4 GC sold more than half of the RE titles on that list

Yeah but neither is PS2 and that still made it.

Yeah but neither is PS2 and that still made it.

True. It's a pity that we don't get GC RE titles sales... REMake, Zero and RE4 for GC should be on that list. So now a PS2 is a next-gen console?

Don't make me laugh.

I agree with both of you guys. I guess it would be more appropiate if the title mentioned "current selling systems".

[Vector]

I'm guessing the PS2 is considered 'next-gen'(which, really, is 'current-gen' because it's the 'gen' that we're 'currently' in right now...make sense?) and the GameCube isn't because the PS2 is still being manufactured and sold, and the GameCube is not.

The PS2 is still being sold and selling quite well in comparison to the pretty much dead GameCube. Its still in the "league", which is what they're basing the sales numbers off.
