Today Capcom announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021, which is related to the period that ended on September 30, 2021.
Sales were 69,995 million yen (up 66.4% year-on-year), while operating income was 28,924 million yen (up 61.9% year-on-year).
Once again, both sales and income set a new record for a second quarter of the fiscal year. Capcom is definitely on a roll, with records having been set and broken for multiple quarters in a row.
Of course, the gaming business is what drove said excellent results with home video game sales exceeding 19.8 million units (up 43.5% year-over-year).
We learn that Resident Evil Village contributed “significantly” to earnings, while Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin has shipped over a million units.
Sales of Monster Hunter Rise, which was released at the end of the previous fiscal year, continued to grow as well. The latest figure is 20 million units from a few days ago.
