Capcom raises earnings forecast following the success of Dragon's Dogma 2
Capcom has announced that its full-year earnings forecast has been revised and increased due to the success of its recent releases, which include Dragon's Dogma 2 and Street Fighter 6.
The details:
The publisher confirmed the revision of its forecast in a new statement, raising its net sales forecast by 8.9% from 140,000 million JPY to 152,400 million JPY and its net income by 8.3% from 40,000 JPY to 43,300 million JPY.
According to Capcom, the commercial success of Street Fighter 6 following its June release and Dragon's Dogma 2 in Q4 has resulted in increased sales of other games in both franchises, causing the publisher to expect higher earnings than originally planned.
The company has yet to release updated sales figures for the titles, but it has been confirmed that Dragon's Dogma 2 sold 2.5 million units in its first few weeks and Street Fighter 6 sold three million by January 2024. Capcom's list of platinum-certified games also suggests that previous Monster Hunter and Resident Evil games have continued to sell well.
