- According to Capcom, its revenues fell because it did not have as strong releases in April-June 2024 as it did in the same period last year. Recall that the company released Street Fighter 6 at that time.
- During the quarter, the company sold 9.53 million copies of games. A year earlier, it reported 13.5 million copies sold. The share of digital game sales was 93%.
- Despite everything, Capcom is confident that it will set new financial records by the end of the year. The company still expects net sales of 165 billion yen (1 billion dollars) and an operating profit of 64 billion yen (416 million dollars).
