For the past 5+ years, Capcom has pretty much been on a roll with some of their best selling and received video games ever, which hasn’t slowed down yet.
The company just updated its growing list of platinum titles that have sold over 1 million copies, which lets us see how Capcom’s fighting games have continued to grow as of September 30, 2023.
Although Street Fighter 6 is listed at 2.40 million copies, we already knew the newest entry is more accurately at 2.47 million in total worldwide after around three months on the market.
We can now see, however, that SF6 is already ranked as Capcom 44th best selling release of all time just behind Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition and Resident Evil 6, which it will surely take over in short order.
Interestingly, Street Fighter 5 still managed to push around an additional 100,000 copies in the quarter up to 7.4 million in total, but it wasn’t enough to keep its top 10 spot on the list.
That has now been taken over by Devil May Cry 5, which is also listed at 7.4 million, but I guess theirs is slightly higher.
Overall, most of Capcom’s modern fighter releases saw a notable bump over the three-month period, and that’s nice to see other games selling besides SF6.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite have all moved up 100,000 units as well with the latter having caught up to the original MvC3 release in sales.
Unfortunately, the Capcom Fighting Collection has not made the list yet, meaning it hasn’t crossed the 1 million mark while both of the Capcom Arcade Stadium releases have.
As for the company’s other flagship title this year, the Resident Evil 4 remake is already up to a whopping 5.4 million after releasing in March, so that’ll probably be up in teh top 10 in short order as well.
Said top 10 is now solely made up of recent Monster Hunter and Resident Evil games aside from the aforementioned DMC5.
Capcom basically admitted that Street Fighter 6 doesn’t quite have the selling power that the other two top dogs do, but they recognize that and seem happy with its performance thus far.
Beyond that, the developer is still claiming to have another major unannounced project in the works that’ll release before the end of this fiscal year, so we’ll probably be learning more about that soon.
