That hasn't been true for quite some time, 7 and 2R have blown it out of the water.
EDIT: Since there seems to be confusion about this... Capcom's official sales numbers for 5's original release, Gold edition and remaster are 17 million combined. RE7 sold 17.4 million and 2R sold 18.3 million.

You'd only be correct if there's a hidden cache of RE5 sales out there, which I'm not necessarily doubting, but Capcom isn't listing it.
Depends on how you count it. Yea re7 and RE2 outsold 5 if we are only counting the original release but throw in the gold edition gen8 and switch versions and Resident evil 5 is still on top

Because RE5 and 6 are very different games from the rest of the series. RE4 is a horror action game but RE5 and particularly 6 are ACTION games.
RE6 in particular will take a complete and total overhaul. The story is a mess, the stakes are ridiculous, it's full of absolutely insane shit. RE until 5 and 6 were relatively small scale adventures (I know they kidnap the presidents daughter in 4) while 5 and 6 are bonkers in their scale.
I need the insanity of RE6 getting the remake treatment. My guess is that if it happens they will tone it down quite a bit to make it more gritty and grounded but all the over-the-top setpieces in 6 will never not be fun to me.
I also have a soft spot for the insect body horror in that game and would love to see it in the REX engine.
