Dino Crisis 2 The Best
Dino Crisis 2 Essentials (Also known as Platinum)

Dino Crisis 3 Xbox (There was a apparently a platinum release of Dino Crisis 3 in japan so SKUs might have been combined for this title}

Dino Stalker PS2 (Also known as Gun Survivor 3: Dino Crisis in Japan) (I'm assuming even the guncon bundle exclusive to japan was kept together for sales purposes)

(Not Counted)
Dino Crisis 5th Anniversary Pack
Dino Crisis Dungeon in Chaos (Mobile, also known as Dino Crisis 3D)
Going off the capcom sales data this would be the total sales per title with all SKUs combined per title.
Dino Crisis - 2.4 million (19th Best Seller)
Dino crisis 2 - 1.2 Million (57th Best Seller)
Dino Crisis 3 - >250,000 (Thanks to Bruno MB)
Dino Stalker, Dino Crisis 2 PC, Dino Crisis PC/DC (Possibly PSN release as well) - 550,000 between them
-Without much data atm for how all of these are separated, the idea that they all share in the 550,000 pool is the only idea I have. Which means sadly that the series indeed tanked fiercely once capcom did Dino Stalker and Dino Crisis 3. I would say that the PC and DC ports didn't sell anything crazy, and that perhaps the PSN sales aren't being counted. But there's no way to be sure.
-It's possible that Dino Crisis 3 actually sold more than Dino Stalker despite being Xbox only in japan. Only evidence is the platinum release of the game in japan. Though the title never sold 1 million copies in total so unsure how that came to be. This coupled with there being no actual sales data for that title and perhaps the ports selling better than I thought. Especially if PSN is counted in the total.
-I will look some more for sales info and bump the thread if I come across SKU sale specifics for the unlisted titles.
I would like to add that for the series time frame, that these sales to me look fine. DC is still holding in the top 20 for capcom, and DC2 while 50% less than DC1 was also released a good few months after the PS2. I do sort of wish the series would have moved 100K with the recent $1 PSN sales to get it to 4.5 but looks like it wasn't enough. Though those were flash sales so maybe a good amount of people just missed them. Hopefully some steam PC ports of DC1 and DC2 could get the number close to 5 million. This data does make me wonder how a new Dino crisis title would sell. Based on it's style I would say at least 1 million copies sold would be a given. But that's a pretty arbitrary idea with no actual data. Aside from there being a lack of a AAA Dinosaur title and the popularity of Jurassic World. I really hope someone at capcom JP see's this thread so they can replace the DC3 logo and Patrick Tyler. We all know Regina and Dino Crisis 1 are the face of the series.

I wanted to make this thread to share a lot of the stuff I have collected over the years through various searches and to consolidate a lot of Dino Crisis information into one place. There's no sites that seem to have this sort of information consolidated.
If I have missed anything worth compiling, I would greatly appreciate you telling me. I would especially like help in the merchandise section, due to there not being many resources there aside from people selling. This is probably the biggest collection of Dino Crisis items all in one place. Even though it isn't everything. I hope a lot of people can get some use out of this, and i'll be updating this when I see anything new.
