Capcom's Earnings: http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/n.../e150203b.html

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that net sales decreased to 47,830 million yen (down 36.4% from the same term last year) in the 9 months of fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. As for profits, operating income increased to 9,727 million yen (up 14.1 % from the same term last year), and ordinary income increased to 10,114 million yen (up 9.3% from the same term last year). Net income for the current period increased to 6,540 million yen (up 9.8 % from the same term last year).

a. In the Digital Contents business, sales of the special feature title "Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate" (for New Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS) were largely in line with the plan and sales of "Ultra Street Fighter IV" (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC) targeting overseas markets were also solid, reflecting its strong popularity. In addition to the satisfactory sales of "Dead Rising 3" (for Xbox One and PC), which was a million seller in the previous fiscal year, an online game "Monster Hunter Mezeporuta Kaitakuki" made a robust start. Furthermore, a steady increase in the sales volume of download sales contributed to profits due to their high profitability.

b. On the other hand, sales of a major title "Gaist Crusher God" (for Nintendo 3DS) remained sluggish. Moreover, there were no big hits among Capcom's mobile phone contents with certain exceptions including "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS", although the overhaul of the profit structure contributed to profitability improvement.

Shipments (in thousands):

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: 2,700

Dead Rising 3: +200 / 1,700

Resident Evil 6: + 100 / 6,100

Devil May Cry 4: +100 / 3,000

In line, solid, robust, satisfactory... Its good they don't release more titles cause they were running out of words for saying "its ok but we hoped for better sales"

I guess they did okay-ish, specially since they didn't released anything major (aside from MH4U).

Also, it's impressive to see DMC4 still selling well after so many years. =o I hope the new remaster do great and shows Capcom the right way to go with the series.

I'm not familiar with the MH sales history, but 2.7 million shipped in a single country sounds amazing to me.

Wow! Will this franchise ever stop selling in Japan or what?

Especially when it's just an update of a game that came out a year earlier and already sold over 4 million.

Beaten XD

Damn, this is the game coming to the west. So im guessing 3.5mil Total Shipped lifetime, maybe 4mil only if the west picks up the pace.

I think MH4U can pass 1 million in the west, the series has been growing in popularity on a consistant basis. Freedom Unite & MH Tri each did about 1 million in the west. MH3U has done about 700k in the west despite being a 3 year old Wii port and being a multiplat with Wii U. With this one being 3DS exclusive and the first time it has released in the west, 1 million should definitely be possible.
