Capcom has achieved its 12th consecutive year of increased profit, with help from the huge success of the Monster Hunter series and its latest release Monster Hunter Wilds.
Operating income for the company as a whole was up 15.2 percent year-on-year, with the game segment specifically achieving an 8.9 percent increase (separate to the company’s arcade, amusement equipment, and other businesses).
As a result, Capcom has now achieved its goal of 10 percent annual growth in operating income for 10 consecutive fiscal years. Its next goal is to achieve 100m units in annual sales of its games – it’s already over halfway there.
In part that’s due to the success of Monster Hunter Wilds. As announced back in March, the latest in the series has sold over 10m units in its first month of release. Capcom has not provided a further sales figure.
