Capcom has been on a hot streak for more than a decade now, only mid release is DD2. Wilds is an okay MH game, if a bit too non-performant, but its not dogshit. It sold like hotcakes bec of goodwil from Worlds/Iceborne

Ahy aluld you be surprised? It's a common thing that the follow up would underperform if the previous entry was a critical bust. People lose interest, they don't check out the next entry no matter how good it is.
RE7 ended uo becoming a colossal hit for Capcom though. They took a new approach after RE6 was poorly received and started focusing on long term success rather than short term. It's their 3rd best selling game of this time.

RE7: Went in a different direction that massively put off the RE fanboys who just wanted actionslop, also RE was only just starting to focus on PC development so it's success on steam would be limited
RE2: Specifically catered to fans of classic RE, which also wasn't the same crowd who just wanted actionslop
RE8: Benefitted from promises of being more akin to RE4, also people had grown to appreciated first person RE at this point, setting looked interesting
RE4: Directly appealed to actionslop fanboys, but was then held back by the people having the attitude of it being a "demake"
RE9: Avoided remake accusations by being a new game, appealed to actionslop crowd by bringing back roundhouse kicking leon, even appealed to non-actionsloppers with the grace sections
