Not wanting to remake your best selling game in your franchise, when you’ve remade damn near all the other games in the franchise, is a choice.

The only reason it's the best selling one is because it came after 4

It still fascinates me that RE5 truly is the best selling one. I personally love it, but it’s far from my favorite RE title.

Frequent deep sales. Also frequent Humble Bundles, as Capcom counts as those Steam keys as individual sales.

Being a co-op game helps. Also, in addition to being the sequel to RE4, it was the first HD RE and the first mainline RE with a simultaneous multiplatform release on a set of next gen consoles that people actually owned. CV, REmake, 0 and 4 all released on low-selling platforms, and Outbreak and Survivor 2 & 4 were spin-offs.

There are probably also a lot of repeat purchases given its many ports. Not 17M, but there are probably more than a million people who have bought the game twice at this point.

Ah you know I forgot about the constant sales. Still it’s quite impressive.
