Alright, let’s dive into this jumble of Capcom’s recent numbers. So, the big deal here is Capcom, a name that echoes with arcade nostalgia, raked in some serious yen—about ¥45.5 billion, or $302.2 million if you’re into dollar signs. I mean, that’s pretty solid for just three months, up till June 30th. Wild, right?
Anyway, it’s all thanks to their games. Like, seriously, who would’ve thought? The company gave catchy shoutouts to heavyweights like Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil Village, and Street Fighter 6. I guess Netflix decided to get cozy with Devil May Cry, making a series that boosted sales. Funny how life works, huh?
And then there’s the nitty-gritty: Devil May Cry 5 hit a staggering 10.5 million units sold. Imagine 1.7 million of those flying off shelves just this last quarter. Resident Evil Village? That one hit 12.2 million. Oh, and their Resident Evil 4 remake clocked in at 10.6 million. Meanwhile, Street Fighter 6 punched its way to five million, with a little help from the new Nintendo Switch 2. Gotta love some good console synergy.
Overall, Capcom pushed out 14.16 million game copies during this period. Yeah, that’s a jump—48% up from last year’s 9.53 million. Not too shabby.
And let’s not skip over the profit part. Operating profit was through the roof, soaring 90.8 percent to a neat ¥24.6 billion ($163.4 million). Bet they’re popping some sake over that.
I dunno, maybe it’ll keep going up or maybe not. Who really knows in this business? But hey, numbers aside, it’s all just a bunch of pixels and fantasies making quite a splash.
