I think it did good enough to satisfy Bethesda. They consider TEW their IP as evident from their E3 featured image.I thought Evil Within didn't sell well.

People who still believe the new game will go back to survival horror. Here are some facts.
Best selling Resident Evil games
1. Resident Evil 5 - 7m
2. Resident Evil 6 - 6.5m
3. Resident Evil 4 (Wii/GC/PS2) - 5.9m
4. Resident Evil (PS1 All) - 5.08m
5. Resident Evil 2 - 4.96m
6. Resident Evil 3 - 3.5m
Anyone looking at the sales chart and planning their next game won't ever touch the original trilogy. In best case, we might get something akin to Resident Evil 4.
It didn't exactly light the charts on fire either TBH. Maybe they had some lofty expectations for it because it was the first time the series had a simultaneous multiplatform launch, yet the sales barely improved from its predecessor which was exclusive to PS2.Capcom is one to ignore facts. DMC4 was the best selling entry in the series and they decided to reboot the series.
They might believe they're doing that. They thought Leon's campaign in RE6 was doing that.
Everybody every where trash RE6 and RE5 somewhat but they sold so much? How? Did I miss something. I am not a RE fan btw, out of Capcom's list of IP's it's near the bottom for me.
The scores for RE5 look pretty consistent, can't say the same about RE6. Really mixed.RE6 and RE5 are awesome games and they were highly praised in the mainstream market.

What do you even mean by mainstream?I don't think the mainstream care much about the scores though.
I don't believe anything capcom say. It's going to be just as bad as re 4,5 and 6 imo. But who knows maybe capcom can prove me wrong.

You're missing the part where DMC4 did better than predictions and achieved a majority of its sales considerably faster than DMC3 did. Looking at what DmC was supposed to do (expand the audience while appealing to old fans) it clearly failed in that regard.It didn't exactly light the charts on fire either TBH.

Day one if true.
I skipped RE6 entirely, which is crazy because I'm a huge RE fan.
This is desperately needed.

Best selling DMC games
1. Devil May Cry 4 (PS3/360/PC) - 3m
2. Devil May Cry 3 (OG+SP) - 2.3m
3. Devil May Cry - 2.16m
4. DmC - 1.7m
5. Devil May Cry 2 - 1.7m
Compare this to the sales of RE series and the difference is huge.
Same here.I actually bought it,but I never played it.
cause now it's a huge mess...
Good point, I never thought about it like that. DMC3 came close to the end of the PS2 lifecycle, while DMC4 came out a little over a year into the PS3 lifecycle and a little over 2 years into the 360's lifecycle. Then you look at DmC and it came out at the very end of the PS3/360 lifecycle and pretty much bombed.You can't really compare 3 and 4 like that when the PS2 was a massive juggernaut that had far more consoles out there(when DMC3 launched) than the PS3/360 combined when DMC4 came out, the game actually beat what they were expecting it to sell.(which was 1.8 million)
If you aren't willing to compare it to DMC3, then there is the OG DMC which was a launch title afaik yet sold almost as much as DMC3.You can't really compare 3 and 4 like that when the PS2 was a massive juggernaut that had far more consoles out there(when DMC3 launched) than the PS3/360 combined when DMC4 came out, the game actually beat what they were expecting it to sell.(which was 1.8 million)
Please don't be first-person.
