CAPCOM | Sreet Fighter6 & ATH 🔥Capcom stock prices have hit All Time High ahead of the launch for Street Fighter 6, following positive buzz around the anticipated title. looking at a chart, it’s easy to see what normally influences trends many previous spikes in share prices correlate around major Capcom releases, such as a March spike just two weeks before the release of Resident Evil 4 remake
It’s not just actual game releases that can have an affect on share prices a spike in November isn’t correlated with any major releases, though it does follow reports of Capcom making a mobile spinoff of Monster Hunter, as well as news about a potential release date for Street Fighter 6.
This week’s spike also follows a very optimistic forecast on Capcom’s investor relations page, which also predicts 140 billion yen in sales in the next fiscal year (April 2023 to March 2024).
It’s no surprise that Street Fighter 6 would have so much control over Capcom’s financial value- Street Fighter V is their 9th highest-selling title, with over 7 million units shipped. Combined with the announcement of a 2 million dollar prize pool for next year’s Capcom Pro Tour series and positive critical reception, it’s easy to be optimistic that Street Fighter 6’s launch will be huge for the company.
In its end-year financial results published on Wednesday, which cover the year ended March 31, 2023, the Resident Evil publisher said it had sold 41.7 million games during the 12-month period.
That’s up from 32.6 million games the previous fiscal year and breaks its record for the most games sold in a business year. The company said its game sales helped it achieve a sixth consecutive year of record-high profit “at all levels” and its tenth consecutive year of operating income growth.
The company achieved the record sales figure partly with the release of two new titles in its flagship series, Resident Evil 4 (which released a week before the end of the reporting period in March 2023) and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, which sold around 3.75 million and 5.45 million units.
The vast majority of its sales came from catalog titles, which Capcom defines as games released in the previous fiscal year or earlier.these sales, which it says were mostly made up of titles in the Monster Hunter, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series, reached 29.3 million units – exceeding the 24 million units in the previous fiscal year.Capcom said 12.4 million in sales was made up of new titles. The company released 35 ‘new’ SKUs in FY23, including Mega Man: Battle Network Legacy Collection, Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium and Capcom Fighting Collection.
89.4% of its game sales during the 12 months were digital (37.3 million) and 19.7% were sold in its native Japan (8.2 million). Other than MH Rise: Sunbreak and RE4, the company’s top-selling titles during the FY were Monster Hunter Rise (3.7m), Resident Evil 2 (2.25m) and Resident Evil 3 (1.95m).
Capcom said it expects to break records for sales and profit again in its current fiscal year, ending March 31, 2024, which includes the release of Street Fighter 6 in June and new IP Exoprimal in July.Capcom‘s president recently said the company aims to sell 10 million copies of Street Fighter 6, which would break the series record of 7 million met by Street Fighter V
what an easy trade and profit 🥂

In the Digital Entertainment segment, the HD (High-Definition) Game subsegment, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 saw the release of "CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION," "FORSPOKEN," and "OCTOPATH TRAVELER II." However, because new titles generated fewer earnings than in the previous year, which had seen the launch of "OUTRIDERS," "NieR Replicant" and "Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy," the sub-segment’s net sales declined versus the previous fiscal year.
Net sales declined versus the previous fiscal year in the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, in part because of the lack of any expansion pack launches for "FINAL FANTASY XIV."
The Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment saw a decline in net sales versus the previous fiscal year because of weak performances by existing titles.In the Amusement segment, net sales and operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 rose versus the previous year because of sharp year-on-year increase in same-store sales.
In the Publication segment, sales of both digital and print media were solid in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, but higher prices on printing paper and other inputs led to higher costs. This, combined with other factors such as increased advertising expenses led to a year-on-year decline in operating income.
In the Merchandising segment, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 saw brisk sales of products including new character merchandise based on major intellectual properties. However, while net sales rose versus the previous fiscal year, operating income declined, partly due to changes in the sales mix by product.
