Resident Evil 4 Remake was the best selling game in the U.S. in March 2023, while the PlayStation 5 remained the best selling hardware.
Revealed through the latest data from Circana (formerly NPD), Capcom's remaster of the classic horror game outperformed March's other new releases including MLB: The Show 23 and WWE 2K23.
Both of these titles were also outperformed by last month's Hogwarts Legacy, which placed second overall in March but remains the best selling game of 2023 so far. MLB: The Show 23 placed third, followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, The Last of Us: Part 1, FIFA 23, WWE 2K23, Elden Ring, Madden NFL 23, and Mario Kart 8.
Video game hardware spending increased 10% year over year, with PS5's increased availability leading the push as the best-selling console in both units sold and dollars made. The Xbox Series X and S placed second in dollars made while the Nintendo Switch placed second in units sold.
Sony declared hardware production issues over in January after a semiconducter chip shortage plagued the entire tech industry, and the PS5 has had strong sales performances since.
Resident Evil 4's strong performance was also expected after Capcom announced it had sold four million units in its first two weeks on sale.
In our 10/10 review, IGN said: "The Resident Evil 4 remake is the series' most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realised to the full extent of its enormous potential."
