You Won’t Believe Capcom’s Top 10 Best-Selling Games – Shocking Rankings Revealed!

by

Summary

  • Resident Evil tops Capcom’s list with 167 million sales, followed by Monster Hunter at 108 million.
  • Ace Attorney and Devil May Cry fans express desire for new installments.
  • Some Capcom series made the list despite not receiving new entries in years.

Capcom has unveiled its ten highest-grossing video game series throughout its history, offering some intriguing surprises. While it’s no secret that popular Capcom franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter would likely appear on this list, there are a few games that have managed to secure a spot despite not having seen new releases for quite some time.

1979 marked the beginning of Capcom’s journey, but it wasn’t until 1983 that they launched their first arcade game. In 1985, they debuted the popular title “Ghosts n’ Goblins” and home console games for the very first time. Since then, this innovative company has created several iconic game series, some of which are still thriving in today’s gaming landscape, including those that made it onto our list.

According to a recent financial report from Capcom, their ten most successful games have been announced. Leading the pack is Resident Evil, closely followed by Monster Hunter, with Street Fighter rounding out the top three. There’s quite a gap between these three titles. Resident Evil has sold more than 167 million units throughout its existence, Monster Hunter has moved 108 million units, and Street Fighter has seen sales of approximately 56 million. The remaining games in the list include Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Dragon’s Dogma, Ace Attorney, Marvel vs. Capcom, and lastly, Onimusha.

Capcom Top Ten Sellers Reveal Interesting Insights

  1. Resident Evil – 167 million units
  2. Monster Hunter – 108 million units
  3. Street Fighter – 56 million units
  4. Mega Man – 42 million units
  5. Devil May Cry – 33 million units
  6. Dead Rising – 18 million units
  7. Dragon’s Dogma – 13 million units
  8. Ace Attorney – 13 million units
  9. Marvel vs. Capcom – 12 million units
  10. Onimusha – 8.7 million units

As a passionate gamer, I’ve got to say that there are some truly captivating titles on this list that have garnered quite the following. However, it’s worth noting that several of these beloved series haven’t added new chapters for quite some time. For instance, Onimusha, which ranks at number 10, has sold approximately 8.7 million copies. While it’s a fan favorite, it’s been rather quiet since the 2018 remaster of Onimusha: Warlords. Despite this, it still manages to hold its ground. In fact, the Onimusha series is set to release a new entry soon, but since 2018, it’s only offered a VR demo, which is quite unusual for such a well-loved series.

Similarly, Ace Attorney has moved 13 million units, yet it’s been a while since we’ve seen a fresh installment (excluding ports and compilations), last being in 2017. On the other hand, Dragon’s Dogma has managed to achieve the same number of sales with only two mainline games and one Japan-only MMORPG. It just goes to show that while some series may take a break, their allure and impact can still be felt in the gaming community.

Long-standing fans of Capcom’s popular series are questioning why many of the top ten games appear to be at a standstill. In online discussions, they’ve expressed a desire for new installments of games like Ace Attorney and Devil May Cry, while also expressing anticipation and excitement for the upcoming Onimusha game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Some fans have voiced their disappointment over games that didn’t make the top 10, such as Dino Crisis, using this news as a platform to request sequels or remakes from Capcom.
