The game, which is a remake of the original PlayStation hit from 1998, has now sold 12.60 million units worldwide, according to the list, placing it in the third slot of Capcom’s biggest money makers, right above RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard, now in fourth with 12.40 million units sold. Capcom’s biggest success story appears to be Monster Hunter: World, which is in first place with 19 million units sold.

With over 100 titles that have sold more than one million units, Capcom stands alone in the video game industry.
