Capcom reveals their top 5 best-selling franchises

Capcom has been in the game for a long time. The company first came into existence back in 1979, and they’ve been creating hit games and franchises for 40+ years. Not surprisingly, they’ve managed to rack up some incredible sales over those 4 decades, and now we know what series reign supreme.

Capcom has updated their list of best-selling franchises, and now we know the totals for the top 5 in their catalog. You can probably guess what #1 is, but can you guess the other 4? Take a second to ponder the top 5, and then read on to see how well you know your Capcom.

1. Resident Evil – 146 million units
2. Monster Hunter – 94 million units
3. Street Fighter – 52 million units
4. Mega Man – 40 million units
5. Devil May Cry – 29 million units

While I got the four no problem, I didn’t have Devil May Cry on my list. We don’t see entries in that franchise quite as often as Capcom’s other brands, but the figures clearly show it to be quite the powerhouse.

With new entries either just released or in the works for every franchise listed above, you can expect these brands to continue their dominance for years to come.
