Alright, so here’s the deal: I was skimming through this report about Capcom the other day. You know, the big Japanese company folks can’t stop talking about—especially if they’re into gaming. And I swear, their numbers are downright crazy. They’re saying they made ¥45.5 billion, which—before I bore you to tears with the math—means about $302.2 million. All this just in this little three-month window ending in June. Mind-blowing, right?
Now, apparently, there’s this whole frenzy about their games. Makes sense. The classics are getting love again. Devil May Cry 5? Total smash. That Netflix anime? Really juiced up its sales. I have to mention Resident Evil, too. Village and the Resident Evil 4 Remake are kind of rocking the charts, if we’re being honest. What’s the count now? Oh yeah, Devil May Cry 5 has clocked a solid 10.5 million units. And 1.7 million of those just flew off the shelves in that last quarter alone. Crazy stuff.
And oh, Resident Evil Village? Yeah, 12.2 million units. Resident Evil 4’s next in line at 10.6 million. Then there’s Street Fighter 6, which is doing pretty okay too. Five million copies? Thanks, in no small part, to its big debut on the Nintendo Switch 2. Makes sense people are snapping it up—probably because of some nostalgia trip or something. Or just ’cause it’s plain fun.
Anyway, the digits during this period totaled 14.16 million units thrown out into the world—which is like a 48% leap from last year’s 9.53 million. Wild, right? And hold up, their operating profit—it didn’t just go up. It practically rocket-shipped, soaring by 90.8% to a full-on ¥24.6 billion. That’s about $163.4 million. I mean, those numbers are kinda nuts.
So, yeah, Capcom is sitting pretty with all these records and stats. Who’d have thought gaming could be such big business, eh?
