Alinea Analytics said PS5 accounted for 48.1% of copies, while Xbox Series X|S made up 8.6% as the game crossed $500 million.
- Resident Evil Requiem passed $500 million in revenue, becoming the fastest Resident Evil game in Capcom's catalog, with Alinea Analytics reporting the milestone on Monday as PlayStation 5 leads platform sales.
- Sony's PS5 has shipped 95.3 million units this generation, vastly outpacing Microsoft's current Xbox consoles, estimated at over 35 million units—a figure trailing the 58 million units the Xbox One sold previously.

- Industry analyst Rhys Elliott at Alinea predicts Requiem will surpass the Resident Evil 4 remake's $600 million lifetime total, though the game saw a 4% daily revenue decline on PS5 during the film's opening weekend.
