Capcom recently unveiled its latest financial report, highlighting a significant decline in sales for Monster Hunter: Wilds. Notably, sales for Monster Hunter: Rise have surpassed those of Wilds in recent months.

The detailed financial report includes a table on page six that outlines game sales for the first half of this fiscal year. It indicates that Monster Hunter: Wilds has achieved sales of 637,000 units across all platforms so far. In contrast, Monster Hunter: Rise has managed to sell 643,000 units during the same period.

What led to the decrease in momentum for Monster Hunter: Wilds? Although the game initially experienced great popularity, considerable technical issues after its launch thwarted its sustained growth. Capcom’s president also cited the high price of the PS5 as a factor contributing to lower console sales.

The financial report contains more intriguing information beyond the sales figures. Devil May Cry 5 continues to perform admirably, with lifetime sales reaching 10,784,000 units—a commendable achievement. Additionally, Street Fighter 6 has seen a strong performance, adding 1,085,000 units to its sales this fiscal year, indicating ongoing interest in the competitive fighting scene.

The report showcases several Resident Evil titles as well, all demonstrating impressive longevity. Resident Evil Village has been the standout performer this year, and even the Resident Evil 3 Remake, often considered underrated, has recorded 697,000 sales thus far.

For a broader perspective on Capcom’s overall performance, page two of the presentation reveals key highlights: “Revenue and profit increased year-on-year across all segments. Achieved the highest-ever total and catalog unit sales for a first half of the year. Amusement Equipment business saw favorable performance.” While Monster Hunter: Wilds faces challenges, Capcom as a whole appears to be thriving.
