If there’s anyone in the industry taking home the golden egg, it’s Capcom. They recently announced the highest yearly game sales in their history, with 45.89 million game units sold in the last year!
These numbers translate to a 21% increase in Net Sales and a 12.3% increase in operating income compared to the same period last year. The Japanese gaming giant has been delivering hit after hit, from the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Street Fighter 6 to the enduring success of Monster Hunter World and the Resident Evil 4 Remake. Monster Hunter World, with 25.32 million units sold, continues to be a fan favorite, while Street Fighter 6 and Dragon’s Dogma 2 have already sold 3.3 million and 2.62 million units respectively, making them some of the best-selling games of 2024.
Capcom’s success can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, proving that taking the time to create top-notch games pays off in the end. As the company gears up for its eighth year of record profits, Capcom promises that this fiscal year will witness huge names before it ends, including Monster Hunter Wilds. With Capcom leading the charge, the future of gaming looks brighter despite the layoffs we see around the industry.
