Resident Evil 6 ships over 4.5 million copies worldwide

4.5

4.5 million copies of Resident Evil 6 shuffled onto retail shelves worldwide for the game's launch, Capcom today announced. Along with the shipment figures, the company revealed a total of 50 million sales for the Resident Evil franchise as of June 2012.

Of course, shipping figures are not the same as sales figures, but that doesn't stop Capcom from proclaiming the numbers prove Resident Evil is "just as popular today as it was 15 years ago when the first title made its debut." Our review of Resident Evil 6, along with the overall consensus of the press and indications from the public, suggests current popularity isn't so clear cut.

Terrible game, even RC wasn't this bad. At least the new film will make up for it. As it always does.

As I have enjoyed the Resident Evil games and films right from the start, I highly enjoy playing this game. It is great that the RE franchise is still going strong.

The game is actually pretty good, it has a few flaws you need to be willing to ignore but good nonetheless.
