Explained simply
Capcom is a Japanese video game company behind long-running series including Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter. It sells new games as well as older titles, which can continue to find buyers years after release.
The figures show how demand is spread across its catalogue: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter have each sold tens of millions of copies over time. Comparing newer releases with earlier games also gives a sense of how players’ interest shifts within a series.
These sales matter to Capcom because its established franchises and new releases are both part of its business. The company has also pointed to more games planned for 2027.
