Stats prove it: Classic games beat newer franchises

Recently, the Capcom videogame company released “lifetime statistics” for its franchises. (Thanks PalGN for the headsup.)

Reading the raw stats doesn’t give too many surprises. The Resident Evil, Mega Man & Street Fighter franchises take up the top 3 positions.

But what if you looked at the whole chart, and divided each sales figure, by the number of titles released? That would tell a very interesting story…

Wun Hundreh Milyon Dolleurs!!!

So, why’s Kylie Minogue’s ex-boyfriend on J-OMG?
…didn’t you see that SWAT film?

(Don’t worry – it all makes sense after the jump.)
