With the release of their latest quarterly financial report, Capcom also recently updated their investor relations pages.
For those unfamiliar, Capcom lists very detailed game sale informations for the benefit of their investors on their company web page, which they update once every financial quarter. The Game Series Sales lists total sales for franchises that have sold over 1 mill units across all titles, and Platinum Titles lists every game that has sold over 1 mill. Capcom is very unique in this regard, as almost no other company in the industry provides as detailed sales information.
These were updated as of December 31st, 2015, so anything sold after that will not be counted until they update their pages for this quarter.
Franchise sales:
Dead Rising - 8.3 -> 8.5m
Devil May Cry - 14 > 15m
Dragon's Dogma - 2.3 > 2.4m
Lost Planet - 5.8 -> 5.9m
Monster Hunter - 33 -> 36m
Resident Evil - 65 -> 66m
Street Fighter - 36 -> 37m
Individual game sales
Monster Hunter X - 3.2m (new)
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate - 3.9 -> 4.1m
Resident Evil 5 - 6.9 -> 7m
Resident Evil 6 - 6.3 -> 6.4m
Resident Evil (HD Remastered) - 1.1 -> 1.2m
Resident Evil Revelations 2 - 1.5 -> 1.6m
Resident Evil Revelations - 1.4 -> 1.5m
Street Fighter IV - 3.3 -> 3.4m
As you can see, they don't list decimals for their "pillar" franchises (RE, SF, MH, DMC, DR). Despite no individual DMC game seeing an update this quarter, this at least means that sales for DmC DE and DMC4SE were enough to bump the overall numbers up. We might get more detailed sales info for both titles when Capcom releases their annual financial report later in the year.
Overall, their net sales and income increased since last year. They credited their game releases (consoles, PC, mobile, online/browser) for this improvement.
According to the 3rd quarterly report, their sales expectations for SF5 is 2m. Vanilla SF4 has sold 3.4m overall, as you can see above, and the franchise and its popularity as a whole has expanded a lot, so reaching 2m should be very easy.
