It's lazy and more proof Capcom is hurting bad.

That's what they get for canceling 2 Megaman games

Mega Man Franchise - 125+ games: 28 million sales worldwide
Dead Rising Franchise - ~5 games - 7 million sales worldwide

Megaman has more bosses.

Megaman has more bosses.

Boom.

I'd bet the DR series has a much higher boss per game ratio: http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Psychopath.

Dead Rising Franchise - ~5 games - 7 million sales worldwide

Those are interesting numbers. Is that including handheld, mobile, and digital distribution sales?

Wonder if he got them from here:

Resident Evil doubles Megaman. I guess that's why they only care about zombies.

Those incredible movies probably helped.

It does. The Mega Man stats are now out of date by 5 years or so, but there also haven't been a ton of new games to dramatically change those numbers.

Nope, but that gives us an update

MM: 130 games @ 30 million units
DR: 12 games (??) @ 7.6 million units

They'll probably kill Dead Rising soon. They were quick to slice Onimusha despite also being one of the highest grossing titles for awhile there. I always thought it was weird that series just suddenly stopped. Replayed all of them last year and 3 was still a lot of fun.
