Sure thing! Let’s dive into the wild waters of thought here:
—
So, like, here’s the thing. Capcom, that beast of a Japanese publishing company, you know them, right? They’ve pulled in, just wait for it, ¥45.5 billion — which, if we’re talking dollars, is something like $302.2 million? I can’t even wrap my brain around it. Anyway, that’s from April to June, and it’s pretty much wild.
And, yeah, this is mostly thanks to the games or whatever fancy term they use… Digital Contents? I mean, fancy, right? So, they’re like, shouting out titles like Devil May Cry 5 and that freaky Resident Evil Village. By the way, don’t even get me started on Resident Evil. Zombies creeping around, making me spill my popcorn.
Oh, right, back to the games. Street Fighter 6 too! Ah, the memories of losing to my brother in every single match… Good times. So somehow, Devil May Cry 5 sold like 10.5 million units. Who’s buying these? And 1.7 million were snagged just in the last few months. Probably because Netflix did something with it? Who knows.
Right, focus. Resident Evil Village, it’s up to 12.2 million, and that Resident Evil 4 remake? Okay, this part is bonkers – it sold 10.6 million. Oh, and Street Fighter 6? Five million—someone correct me if I’m wrong—partly thanks to launching it on, wait for it, Nintendo Switch 2? Did I miss news about a Switch 2…? Seriously confusing.
Adding it all up, we have Capcom tossing out 14.16 million units in just those three months. That’s, like, a 48% jump from last year’s 9.53 million. Big brain math right there, folks.
And don’t even get me started on the profits! They’re up 90.8%, a mind-blowing ¥24.6 billion, or $163.4 million if you like your numbers American-style. I guess they’re doing something right. I should probably get back to that, but who remembers what point I was trying to make? Anyway… gaming’s a big deal, huh?
