Street Fighter 6 Sold Almost 2.5M Copies, Resident Evil 4 Remake Nears 5.5M

Capcom has published its financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2023, revealing that its net sales reached 74.9 billion yen ($498 million), increasing by 52.7% compared to the same period last year.

The company's operating income was 33.8 billion yen (nearly $225 million), 54.5% higher year-over-year, the ordinary income increased by 57.3% year-over-year, reaching 36.1 billion yen ($240.3 million), while the net income attributable to the parent company's owners rose by 56.7% year-over-year, amounting to 25.2 billion yen ($26.5 million).

In the six months, Capcom sold 22.6 million game copies, an improvement compared to last year's 21.3 million units. Part of the success has to be attributed to Street Fighter 6, released in June, which had sold 2.47 million units by the end of September, according to the report. The company sold 2 million copies a month after its launch and wants to reach 10 million with this game.

Another notable title of the year is the Resident Evil 4 remake, launched in March. It reached 5.45 million units cumulatively, supported by promotional measures and pricing strategies.

As for other games, Capcom reported MegaMan Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 sold 1.42 million units, Exoprimal attracted over 1 million users, and Monster Hunter Now downloads exceeded 5 million.

Sales are not the only positive news for Capcom: international police have recently taken down ransomware group Ragnar Locker, which had stolen 1TB of data from the company in 2020.
