2. Capcom just sold more games than in any year in its history..

In total, Capcom sold 59.07 million games during the business year, up from 51.87 million in the year prior. This figure was driven overwhelmingly by sales of Resident Evil games. Notably, Resident Evil Requiem, released in February, sold nearly 7 million units by the end of March.

Capcom said 83.7% of its game sales came from older ‘catalog’ titles, while a huge 93% of the games it sold were digital download versions.

Looking forward, the company said it anticipates net sales of 210,000 million yen and operating profit of 83,000 million yen, which would result in ten consecutive years of record high profit for the company.
