Resident Evil Requiem is still doing bonkers business while elongating Capcom's generational win streak, but the new big-screen reboot didn't make as big of an impact on game sales as you might expect.
The short version
- Still, according to estimates from Alinea Analytics, the ninth mainline game in the horror series has made over $500m (around £377) and counting.
- Resident Evil 4 's remake has supposedly made more than $600m after three years, for comparison.
- Some other interesting stats: Resident Evil Requiem's most popular platform is reportedly PS5.
