- “Consumer Online Games” business is estimated to pull in ¥71,500 million, and a jump in operating profits for this sector to ¥15,300 million
- 75 games due out this year
- 20 million pieces of software sold (estimate)
- Capcom sold 5.2 million pieces of software in Japan in 2010
- Capcom expects 7.5 million units of software sold in NA for 2011, 7 million in Japan, and 5 million in Europe
- Capcom has 16 titles planned for the DS, and are hoping to sell 1.7 million units of software
- Capcom has 6 titles for Wii planned, and are hoping to sell 1.6 million units of software
- Capcom aiming for a 65% overseas sales ratio
- “Unified Wii development”
- increase in digital software and downloads for retail games

Bad news for Capcom and their shareholders, the company had a poor year ending March 31st 2010 with sales, operating income and profits all down.
Over to Capcom to explain…
Capcom Co., Ltd. would like to announce that net sales decreased to 66,837 million yen (down 27.3 % from the previous year). As for profits, operating income decreased to 5,587 million yen (down 61.8 % from the previous year), and ordinary income decreased to 5,530 million yen (down 59.9 % from the previous year). Net profit for the current period decreased to 2,167 million yen (down 73.1 % from the previous year).
In flagship Home Video Games business, “Monster Hunter Tri” (for Wii) and “Monster Hunter Freedom Unite” (for PlayStation Portable) continued to grow in Japan. And existing products such as “Resident Evil 5″ (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) and “Street Fighter IV” (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) which were released late in the previous year achieved healthy growth in the overseas markets. However, weak sales of some new titles besides the releases of “Lost Planet 2″ (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), “Super Street Fighter IV” and “Monster Hunter Tri” for overseas were postponed to the next fiscal year significantly depressed sales compared to previous year.
