Capcom Announces 53.7% Increase in Q1 Net Sales

Sure, here’s a rewritten version with a more human and chaotic tone:

Alright, so Capcom, you know, the big Japanese company that’s been around forever making video games? They just threw out some numbers for the months leading up to June 30th. And, wow, they raked in something like ¥45.5 billion. I can never quite wrap my head around yen, but apparently, that’s about $302.2 million. Not too shabby, right?

And get this — that’s up by 53.7% compared to last year. Why? Well, mostly because of the Digital Contents sector, which is just fancy talk for their games. They mentioned a bunch like Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil Village, the Resident Evil 4 remake (can’t believe they’re still milking that, but hey, it works), and Street Fighter 6. Devil May Cry 5 especially got a boost thanks to some Netflix anime. Who knew an old-school button-masher could get a new life because of a TV show?

And let’s talk numbers for a moment — almost like Capcom’s become best pals with big sales. Devil May Cry 5 hit a whopping 10.5 million units, and during this last stretch alone, 1.7 million flew off the shelves, metaphorically speaking. Resident Evil Village? 12.2 million units. And not to be left out, Resident Evil 4 snagged 10.6 million. Oh, and Street Fighter 6? They pushed out five million copies — helped along by its hop onto the Nintendo Switch 2 — which was a fun twist, I guess.

So all up, Capcom carted out 14.16 million units of games. And that’s a 48% jump from last year’s 9.53 million, if you’re keeping track.

Oh, and while I’m rambling about numbers, operating profit soared by about 90.8% to ¥24.6 billion (which is like $163.4 million). Math never was my strong suit, but those seem like pretty sweet digits.

Anyway, kinda wild seeing these guys chugging along so strong, right?
