Resident Evil 4 Sells 3M in Two Days

A statement from Capcom announces that the Resident Evil 4 remake managed to sell over three million units in just two days following its release (thanks Wario64). For perspective, PC Gamer notes the original Resident Evil 4 took a year to hit this sales milestone following its release in 2005, though versions for platforms like PC were not part of that launch. Here's word:
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that new title Resident Evil 4 for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and PC has sold over 3 million units worldwide.

The Resident Evil franchise features survival horror games in which players utilize a variety of weapons and other items to escape terrifying situations. Cumulative shipments of the games in the series now exceed 135 million units* since the first title debuted in 1996. Now, more than 27 years later, continuous support from the passionate fan base across the globe makes it Capcom’s flagship game series.

Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the original 2005 title. In addition to reworking the story and modernizing the game feel, the 2023 release will provide both fans of the series and newcomers alike with a fresh gameplay experience, featuring highly immersive visuals powered by the cutting-edge graphics technology of Capcom’s proprietary RE ENGINE. Along with securing high scores on online review sites, the title garnered praise and attention following the release of the Chainsaw Demo, in which players could enjoy the opening of the game, resulting in worldwide sales of the title surpassing 3 million units in the first two days after the game’s release.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all stakeholders by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.

Wow the needle has really switched back over to the big budget single player game. While most online only/live service games are dying. Did not see that one coming, not that I'm complaining at all.

Good. Multiplayer getting forced into everything got old almost immediately. I'll probably pick up RE4Remake when it's on a decent sale, I still kind of remember my normal RE4 playthrough.

It's a fantastic remake and game. 100+ FPS always, 2k with RT maxed and settings as high as vid memory would allow on 3080ti
All the small things they added and a couple story changes/retcons compliment the game very well, while trimming a little of the fat from the original is ended up being mostly welcome; I do miss a couple things that they cut though - the Act 1 Gondola, and both the Bulldozer and "It" from Act 3 are gone.

Dino Crisis anyone? 🤣
I would love it if Dino Crisis got this kind of remake. It's so clunky these days.

BTW you Dino Crisis fans, check out the upcoming Compound Fracture.

Well, if anything, perhaps Sony can learn from a proper remake/port? Can't believe they fumbled TLOU. I was looking forward to that big time, having not seen anything about it and going in blind. I'm still maintaining that, though I don't want to play it right now if it runs like dog sh!t. Not going to be the ideal experience for a first timer.

On the other hand, RE4 would also be a blind playthrough since I've never played the original. I tried the demo and it was beautiful and ran flawless. I'll eventually get to it, but I'm glad to know how well it was done.

I played RE4 many moons ago on GameCube and it was one of the best games on the console. I'm definitely considering a playthrough of the remake

OK, now show us the amount of refund requests from that same time period.

Never quite understood why they (seem to have) ditched Dino Crisis. The first two were very popular but they stopped making them because the third was bad? (and it's not like medicore entries have ever stopped the Resident Evil series!).
