At more than five million copies sold since its January 2019 release, Resident Evil 2?s remake is outpacing sales of Resident Evil 7 in the same span of time. Resident Evil 7, which now closes in on seven million copies sold, did not reach the five million benchmark until March 2018, nearly 15 months after its January 2017 launch. Resident Evil 2 hit the same sales milestone in December 2019, not even a full year after landing on store shelves.
Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel Ahmad called attention to this in a recent Twitter post. Ahmad also noted that sales for the Resident Evil franchise as a whole have surpassed an incredibly impressive 95 million. The analyst?s post on the matter is linked below:
