Capcom has reported record results for its first financial quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Net sales increased 19.2 per cent to 19,497 million yen ($204.5m/£123.6m), operating income jumped 23 per cent to 3,664 million yen ($38.43m/£23.23m), and ordinary income rose 2.3 per cent to 4,117 million yen ($43.18m/£26.1m).
“As a result, we marked the best net sales, operating income and ordinary income since quarterly release announcements began,” the company said.
Global shipments of Resident Evil 5 have now topped five million units, while the latest addition to the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Tri, has shipped one million copies ahead of its launch this Saturday.
However, Bionic Commando, "which was targeted to the overseas markets, underperformed its projected sales," shifting 550,000 copies during the quarter.
The publisher also delayed the release of Dark Void until the first quarter of 2010 “to avoid competition with releases of major titles of other companies.”
