on the PlayStation.

While Street Fighter remains a constant concern for Capcom, it has been overtaken by other franchises in the company's portfolio some time ago and, with the latest remake versions of Resident Evil 2 y Resident Evil 3The zombie murder series officially sold more than twice as many units as Street Fighter, putting Ryu and his friends firmly in the shadows.

• Resident Evil – 98 million units
• Monster Hunter – 63 million units
• Street Fighter – 44 million units
• Mega Man – 36 million
• Devil May Cry – 22 million
• Dead Rising – 13 million

Monster Hunter also surpassed total Street Fighter sales a while ago, but it still lags behind Resident Evil in terms of total sales, which is understandable given that the first Monster Hunter game isn't appeared only in the PlayStation 2 era.
