Capcom updated their platinum titles section, which among other things includes Resident Evil VII sales numbers. And according to their latest update, RE VII passed the 10 million mark. This means that the game became the second Capcom title to sell more than 10 million copies. While Monster Hunter World is still the first.
While Resident Evil VII was quite controversial among hardcore fans of the IP, the strong sales numbers just prove that Capcom was right to switch to the first-person perspective. And the game still sells like hotcakes. Capcom reports that it sold 400k copies this last quarter.
This is bewildering considering that Resident Evil Village sold 300k copies. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake also sold 300k copies. The newer entries into the franchise just cannot catch up to the 2017 smash hit.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Some people don't like retro gaming, but still love the survival horror genre. Here's the seven best modern survival horror games.

7 is better than 8. Glad the numbers reflect this.
It might make Capcom reel in the action and bring the horror back.
That's because 7 is so much better than 8. Great story, setting, and scares. Whereas 8 had a good setting but the story was rubbish and the whole thing too linear and easy.
Absolutely disgusting
I wish revelations would come back.
This is cool and all but re2 remake was better than Re7. The Cut scenes that you couldn’t skip in Re7 made it a chore to replay, especially the mundane enemy designs, Kinda wish they put more effort into the re3 remake.
