Whoa, so here’s the deal. Capcom just blew everyone’s minds with some crazy sales numbers. I mean, seriously, they announced it all over their website and this account called The Game Awards’ X. Why did they choose March as their fiscal year end? Who knows. Maybe it’s something about spring cleaning finances?
Okay, stay with me. So these guys hit their highest sales ever. Like, we’re talking fiscal year 2024-2025. Numbers are nuts: ¥169.6 billion! That’s $1.14 billion. And net income? Up by, like, a substantial 11.7%. So that’s ¥48.45 billion or $327.5 million, roughly. It’s like they’re on this unstoppable train, just smashing sales records year after year. Eighth year in a row. Can you even imagine?
They credit their success to big hitters like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter. I’ve spent way too long playing those, but hey, guess I’m contributing to history here.
Monster Hunter’s kinda the star of the show. Monster Hunter Wilds sold over 10 million copies right after it launched. I mean, that’s wild! Yeah, pun intended. Seems like everyone’s really into it.
Capcom’s looking to the future like it’s a shiny new game level. They’re predicting even bigger numbers next year. They think they’ll hit ¥190,000 million in sales and ¥73,000 million in operating income. Honestly, I have no idea where they get these magical estimate powers from, but go figure.
And get this—if the new Okami and Onimusha: Way of the Sword live up to the hype after being MIA for so long, it’s like, jackpot! Everybody’s waiting to see if Capcom can pull it off again.
So, there you go. Capcom is practically swimming in success, and they’re not showing any signs of slowing down. Makes me wonder what their kitchen’s like, right? Must be a cauldron boiling with creativity or something. Anyway, until next time, keep gaming!
