Capcom income up 300% since last fiscal year

1 Feb 2018

Capcom is rolling in cash, reporting a 300% increase in income as compared to last financial year.

Thanks to strong sales of Resident Evil 7 (Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4), Monster Hunter: World (Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4) and Ultra Street Fighter 2 (Switch), Capcom was able to report an operating income of 7 billion yen, or $64.5 million USD.

Speaking with GamesIndustry, Capcom called Ultra Street Fighter 2 a “smash hit”, though conceded that Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s sales were “soft” by comparison.

Capcom’s forecast for the end of this fiscal year has been upped to 14.5 billion yen ($133.4 million USD), while net sales are predicted to hit 93 billion yen ($855.6 million).

What do you think of Capcom’s success this year?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
