Resident Evil 5 has sold nearly five million units according to Capcom's chief financial officer Kazuhiko Abe.
In an interview with Reuters, Abe said it had sold 570,000 units in April after reported sales of 4.4 million in March.
Meanwhile, the publisher's US branch has denied that the second mystery game due to be announced at E3 is Devil May Cry 5.
"Hot rumour bust of the day: Capcom E3 Mystery Title #2 is not - repeat, NOT - Devil May Cry 5. Now, what do you think it is?" the company said on Twitter.
Cubed3 (thanks vg247) has added up previous Tweets to establish that it's an action game in an existing series, but isn't a remake.
All of which gives us pause to reflect on Capcom's most successful series list from earlier in the month. Resident Evil is no doubt still in front, and the next biggest series after recently updated ones and DMC are Onimusha, Dino Crisis and Ghosts 'N Goblins.

5 million? Makes me worry how they will approach the reboot reboot with 6. As a fan I want a back to roots "one for the old fans" RE but from a business sense it would be silly for Capcom not to continue on the sad arcade route it's gone with 4/5.
Hope it's not DMC, boring series. More Dino Crisis would be nice though, thankfully I never touched 3! |

5 million is well deserved imo. Great game. Even the Versus mode was fantastic fun imo.

Nobody seems to have played Oni 4, it was completely in 3d with a free camera system, spanned over two discs.
I got bored half way through it. The worst in the series, imho. |

Ugh, 5 millions sales?! I hope they were serious about re-booting the series again for Resi 6, because I thought Resi 5 was bloody awful, saved by an enjoyable co-op mode.
As for the mystery game, a PS360 Monster Hunter or Dino Crisis would be great, thanks. Whatever it is, I hope it's not a Wii exclusive (or is this the mysterious alleged PS3 exclusive?!). |

Where did you get those from? They must be false; it's not possible that the PS3 version sold more than the X360 version |

woow,the ps3 version sold more!!! anyway i hope its a great next gen onimusha.i loved the series upto 3,and its been long since ive played onimusha.i just hope they find a way of bringing back sanosuke,i loved one coz of him. dmc needs a rest,let them bring it close to end of next year. if you're reading this capcom,please bring onimusha,and set it way in the past of japan with only one main character,a blast of a story and a villain ill love to hate....
