Capcom Announces 53.7% Increase in Q1 Net Sales

Sure, here’s that piece rewritten:

Okay, so Capcom, you know, the big name from Japan with all those games we keep hearing about? Yeah, they just threw some numbers around, and honestly, it’s a bit wild. For the months up to June 30th, they’re saying they scored ¥45.5 billion, which is like $302.2 million if you’re keeping track in dollars. No clue why I find converting currencies so satisfying, but there it is.

And get this—I think it’s a 53.7% jump! Mostly because their Digital Contents division—or “video games” as normal folks say—went bananas. Like, think Devil May Cry 5 waving around on the charts, mainly thanks to a Netflix anime. I mean, who knew slaying demons on TV could sell games?

Devil May Cry 5 is boasting 10.5 million units sold. 1.7 million of those flew off the shelves in just three months! Not bad, right? Resident Evil Village? It’s doing its thing at 12.2 million, and the Resident Evil 4 remake is not far behind at 10.6 million. Street Fighter 6 came out swinging too, with 5 million copies; maybe because it found a new home on the Nintendo Switch 2. People love their Hadoukens mobile, I guess!

So, adding it all up, Capcom moved 14.16 million units in these months—up 48% from last year’s 9.53 million. Insane, right? But wait—there’s more! Their operating profit? It soared 90.8% to hit ¥24.6 billion, which sounds like a lot because it is. I mean, they’re on fire, no kidding.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, numbers! Why was I even talking about numbers? They’re mind-boggling, but you’ll get used to it. Maybe.
