![]() RE5‘s life-to-date sales are calculated as a combined total from the PS3, Xbox 360, and full-game downloads via PSN (which, thanks to its PlayStation Plus appearance, is the likely culprit for the unexpected bump in sales), Xbox Live, and PC. While the news of Street Fighter II‘s fall from the top of Capcom’s charts is devastating to Resident Evil 5 haters/ SFII lovers (like myself), there is a footnote in the sales data that provides a small bit of comfort. This places the classic fighter smack in the middle of a nasty Jill sandwich, with Resident Evil 6 and its 5.2 million in sales stalled out in third place. The update to Capcom’s Platinum Titles list on their investor site reveals that LTD sales of Resident Evil 5 have now reached 6.5 million units, beating out Street Fighter II‘s 6.3 million. This past week Capcom revealed that life-to-date sales of Resident Evil 5 have overtaken Street Fighter II, making the fifth (lackluster) entry in the Resident Evil franchise the Japanese publisher’s new best-selling video game of all time.
