"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" hit the gaming world officially on January 24. Since then, it has reportedly shipped a total of 2.5 million copies to retailers, leading Capcom to happily call it a "solid start." However, not everybody is impressed.

Since the announcement of the figures, the share value of Capcom has fallen. According to GameSpot, the Tokyo Stock Exchange saw Capcom's share drop by over 3 percent in January 30, with many thinking it was due to the poor shipment of "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard."

Although Capcom has said that the game had a good start, it actually did poorly compared to previous "Resident Evil" titles. "Resident Evil 5" reportedly shipped  4 million copies on its first week, while "Resident Evil 6" was slightly higher with 4.5 million. Both have been Capcom's best-selling games of all time. These titles have accumulated 7.1 million and 6.6 million sales, respectively.

However, it should be noted that "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" has been on the market for merely a week today. Capcom said that it predicts the game will reach 4 million copies sold by the end of its financial year, which is on March 31.

Meanwhile, developers still continue to offer gamers their support by releasing more "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" content. Since some gamers have already beaten the game in just a few hours, the new content aims to provide more adventure.

"Resident Evil 7: Banned Footage Vol. 1" is out now. This is the game's first DLC, which contains two new chapters and a new mode. According to VG247, the new chapters are "Bedroom" and "Nightmare," with the new mode known as "Extra Mode - Ethan Must Die."

Those who have the game's Season pass will see the first two Capcom DLCs and an undetailed extra story chapter. The pass costs $30.
