Resident Evil 2 (the remake) has already nearly outsold Resident Evil 2 (the original)

May 21, 2019 The Resident Evil 2 remake has sold 4.2 million units.

Resident Evil 2 sales - that is, copies of the 1998 PlayStation original - currently hover at around 4.96 million, putting it in sixth place among every game Capcom has ever released. But while RE2 got a two decade head start, its remake is catching up fast. Two months after launch, the remake had sold 4.2 million units, just cracking Capcom’s all-time top ten. Those numbers are accurate up through March 31, so it’s possible the remake has already surpassed the original in the month and a half since then. We’ll likely see when the next financial quarter rolls around. The studio is making the most of the game’s success, too - Capcom’s got “numerous” new games in development using the RE Engine. You can see the full Capcom sales rankings at the company’s official site (via Gematsu). Another success story in this update is Devil May Cry V, which sold 2.1 million copies between March 8 and March 21. Capcom said those DMC5 sales have “successfully reinvigorated” the series as part of the company’s latest financial report.
