[game_preservation] Capcom reveals lifetime sales numbers

[Captain Commando]

I found the source list with system names and release dates.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/876/876329p1.html?RSSwhen2008-05-23_111800&RSSid=876329

Some interesting things about the list:

No arcade games are on the list.
RE4 sold more on PS2 than on GC or Wii (but not more than those two
combined).
Code Veronica is the only Dreamcast title on the list.

It's also interesting to compare this list with ESA estimates of console
penetration and how many systems were sold at the time of release. That will
give you a different set of numbers.
