Resident Evil Franchise Tops 50 Million Shipments Worldwide

Capcom has released updated sales numbers for 16 of the company’s best selling titles.

With the help of new releases such as Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, the Resident Evil franchise remains Capcom’s top performer as of the end of June 2012. The Devil May Cry series saw a boost by 1 million units likely due to this year’s release of the HD Collection, although Capcom hasn’t provided any sales information on how well the collection has sold to date.

As a comparison, we’ve included previously revealed sales data that Capcom shared back in 2010.
