The highlights
The holiday quarter wasn't much for new releases on the Capcom front, but its recently launched titles from earlier in the year helped ensure the publisher posted significant growth through the first nine months of its fiscal year.
June release Street Fighter 6 sold 2.98 million units through the end of 2023 (and passed the 3 million mark early in 2024), while last March's Resident Evil 4 hit a lifetime sales total of 6.48 million, receiving a boost from a new PSVR2 mode launched last month.
Meanwhile, Capcom said the announcement of Monster Hunter Wild drove "solid sales" for previous entries in the franchise, and Monster Hunter Now on mobile has reached 10 million downloads life-to-date.
Overall, Capcom's Digital Contents division sold 32.6 million units through the first nine months of its fiscal year, up 12% year-over-year.
Despite the success of Street Fighter 6, Capcom's older titles drove most of that, with catalog sales up 21% year-over-year to 26.7 million units.
The holiday quarter went more or less according to expectations for Capcom, as the company maintained its previously announced full-year forecast.
