Japan’s Capcom, huh? So, they just dropped some crazy numbers—about ¥45.5 billion, which is like $302.2 million, all in three months till, oh, June 30, I think? Anyway, apparently, that’s a whopping 53.7% jump from last year. And guess what? It’s all about their game stuff. Games! You know, those Resident Evil and Street Fighter things. Ever heard of Devil May Cry 5? Yeah, the one with a Netflix anime. Makes you wonder if Netflix is helping boost those numbers. Seriously, like, who knew?
Devil May Cry 5 hit a cool 10.5 million units. Imagine slinging that many games. And get this, 1.7 million of those were just in the last quarter. Mind-blowing, right? Resident Evil Village’s not far behind with 12.2 mil. Oh, and Resident Evil 4? Another 10.6 mil. Street Fighter 6 is hanging tight at five million, thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2. I mean, anyone else feels like getting their game on now?
So, Capcom’s throwing around 14.16 million units total. Compare that to last year’s 9.53 million. That’s a 48% jump. Numbers like this, you think of those old arcade days. Not that I’m saying I miss those days. Or maybe I do? Anyway, business-wise, their operating profit soared. Like, up 90.8% to ¥24.6 billion, which is $163.4 million if conversion rates are your thing. Pretty wild, huh?
