Newsbrief: Resident Evil 7 has surpassed 5.1 million sales worldwide in around 15 months on shelves, according to publisher and developer Capcom.
The seventh main entry in the long-running Resident Evil horror franchise took the series in a new direction by shifting from its previous third-person camera to a new first-person perspective, along with thematic changes.
It managed to rack up over 3 million sales in under three weeks, but momentum slowed, and the title only crossed the 4 million mark in November last year.
Capcom had initially expected Resident Evil 7 pull in lifetime sales of 10 million, but the latest figures show it's still someway off that target.
