Reportedly, back in February Resident Evil 7 was working its way up the list of best-selling Resident Evil games, then sitting at number three behind Resident Evils 5 and 6. Or should that be called Residents Evil?

Recently, there have been new sales numbers from Capcom, it's moved 7.9 million units and pushed ahead of the base versions of the other Resident Evil games. (The numbers would be slightly different if Capcom counted things like Resident Evil 5 Gold and the various ports together, but they're all lined up separately for some unknown reason.)

To share a little perspective, Capcom's #1 game is Monster Hunter World at 16.1 million, which is like the sales figures for two Resident Evil games combined. However, it is still interesting to note that Resident Evil 7, with its infamously snail pace of a launch, has built such a long tail compared to games that enjoyed much better opening months.
