Whoa, okay, so, here’s a wild ride through Capcom’s recent money-making spree. Like, they’ve pulled in 45.5 billion yen—about $302.2 million—for those three months ending June 30th. Can you even imagine counting that? Maybe not—and guess what? That’s a jump of 53.7% compared to last year. Totally crazy, right? All thanks to their games, which is what they call Digital Contents. Whatever that means…
They popped in a shoutout for Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil Village, the Resident Evil 4 Remake, and of course, Street Fighter 6. This Devil May Cry thing, somehow, just blasted off, partly ’cause of that anime on Netflix. Like, who knew anime could sell video games like hotcakes? But it happened.
Anyway, Devil May Cry 5 has hit this massive 10.5 million copies sold. Just to blow your mind a bit more, 1.7 million of those flew off the shelves just recently. Insane numbers like these make my head spin. Meanwhile, Resident Evil Village sits at 12.2 million, and the OG – Resident Evil 4 marked 10.6 million sold. And hey, Street Fighter 6? A cool five million, probably helped by its appearance on the Nintendo Switch 2. No surprise there, really.
When you total it all up, Capcom shifted 14.16 million games during this time. That’s up 48% from last year. Imagine that—a sea of games… Anyway, I’m getting distracted.
Oh, and their operating profit? Yeah, it shot up like fireworks—90.8%—landing at a whopping 24.6 billion yen or $163.4 million, if you prefer dollar signs. Numbers this big nearly make me forget what I was doing. Is it time for a coffee yet?
