I was just gonna talk about that, RE7 didn't dethrone shit. All of these articles are clickbait by people who think "secretly winning" is the same as actually winning.
Even the idiot who wrote this recognizes it's not true:
After 11 years, Resident Evil 5 has finally lost its top dog spot to none other than 2017's Resident Evil 7!

Yet these ass kissers want to push that narrative:
Titles which sold more than 1 million copies each are listed with videos and screen shots.

...perhaps because RE8 is coming out soon.
But we know better:
...and it clearly shows that RE4 was the only big change since it took the second place.
Even some replies to the tweet point out to the obvious:
weird they decided to separate 5+5G to make 7 look better?
All these idiots can think that ignoring the Gold Edition makes 7 the
actual winner, inside their minds that is reality I'm sure, but in the real world things haven't changed. RE5 still reigns supreme as the Chad of the series, RE7 will genuinely get my respect if it gets to 10 million. But even then it will remain as the black sheep of the series and a game for losers
