Sure thing, here’s a reworked version:
So, there’s this Japanese company, Capcom – maybe you’ve heard of them? They’ve been raking it in, with ¥45.5 billion (around $302.2 million if you prefer the dollars) in net sales for like, three months up to June 30th. Sounds like a crazy good time to be them, right? That’s a whopping 53.7% jump from last year. And why? Games, games, games. Or as they fancy it up – Digital Contents.
They’ve got this thing going with Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil whatnot, and then there’s Street Fighter 6. Apparently, Devil May Cry 5 got a bump thanks to some Netflix anime. Who knew cartoons could do that? Side note – 10.5 million units altogether for that game. Seriously, 1.7 million just in the last quarter. Insane, huh?
Then there’s Resident Evil Village clocking in at 12.2 million units. Not too shabby. And omg, Resident Evil 4 doing 10.6 million. Street Fighter 6 also doing its thing with five million, partly ‘cause it landed on the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, who isn’t on that train now?
Capcom’s doing this magic trick where they moved 14.16 million units in that time frame. Compare that to last year’s 9.53 million… It’s nuts, right? Oh, and profit – almost forgot – their operating profit totally boomed 90.8% to about ¥24.6 billion ($163.4 million). That’s some serious cash flow.
Anyway, I’m just thinking… what a time to be at Capcom. Guess they’re doing something right? Or maybe we all just really needed more Resident Evil in our lives. Who knows.
