Capcom has recently announced that the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 has been outsold by their also critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 remake; managing to sell a very impressive 5 million copies since its launch on the 25th of January this year.
It is also worth mentioning that the Resident Evil 2 remake sold 4 out of those 5 million units within its first month since release, making it one of the best-selling titles in the Resident Evil franchise, as well as one of the fastest-selling games. The best-selling game in the franchise is the fairly divisive Resident Evil 5, with an overwhelming 11 million units sold.
The original Resident Evil 2 was first released in January of 1998, and has managed to sell a very impressive 4.96 million units as of February of this year, when Capcom revealed sales numbers for every single one of the titles in the Resident Evil series.
Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake has become one of the best-regarded titles in the series, and sales numbers actually helped the developers make the decision to remake Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Considering that before Resident Evil 7 the series was on an all-time low, it is nice to see it making a comeback in full force.
