Resident Evil 4 comes out top in March

Delving into the March market data, and sales were actually down a little bit. 2.7 million digital and physical games were sold (GSD data), which is a fall of 3% year-on-year.

The Resident Evil 4 remake claimed the No.1 spot, despite launching late in the month. The Capcom game didn't sell quite as strongly as the Resident Evil 2 Remake or the recent Resident Evil Village, but surpassed the performance of 2020's Resident Evil 3 remake.

65% of Resident Evil 4 sales were on PlayStation platforms, 20% on Xbox and 15% on PC.

Holy fuck that's huge. Assuming, as the title states, that the digital sales are included. Surprised PC is that low.

That resi platform split

 

[Remember_Spinal]

I wonder what the split between ps4 and ps5 was. Capcom made a good decision doing cross-gen it looks like

 

[FatKaz]

Jimbo heading towards capcom HQ right now

"So about that acquisition?"

 

[avenovah]

And this is only the middle of a generation! Japanese publishers are free not to publish games on Xbox. They have nothing to lose.

Yikes

 

[Nhomnhom]

So much for PC being Capcom main platform.

You ok Remji?

It is Capcom's main platform... they did a press release stating as much... and I already explained exactly why that is.

And they're grouping PS4 and PS5 together.

 

[Nhomnhom]

And they're grouping PS4 and PS5 together.

Still crying over PS4 and PS5 sales counting as PlayStation sales?

 

[FatKaz]

And they're grouping PS4 and PS5 together.

And?

If we are only comparing playstation sales to pc that is an irrelevant comparison

If we compare it to xbox, well history has shown most sales of games come from the current gen not last gen.

If they release on xone your only getting a few more percentage swing towards xbox and not pc.

Nope. Still crying that PC is Capcoms main platform?

All I care about is this..

RE continues to grow massively on PC

 

[Johnic]

What does that have to do with anything when we don't have the same data for consoles? We do have sales data, though.

[FatKaz]

Did a quick graph to represent the platform split between xbox and playstation.

You thought those pathetic figures were a flex?

 

[Shmunter]

Pc is wait for sale or crack

 

[KiryuRealty]

Xbox barely outselling the PC port shows how niche XBox is becoming.

 

[ethomaz]

But but but Xbox is 100% digital and when included the split is different lol

There is go another narrative.

Removing PC you have 76.5% PS vs 23.5% Xbox that is very close ratio for physical.

Now I understand why you commemorate the flop numbers on Steam Desk.

You were already used to bad numbers.
