If the sales have increased 50% and they mostly consisted of cheap bundles, then the amount of those bundles sold must be...
Capcom FY25 First Half Unit Sales By Hardware: PC 54% / PS+Switch+Xbox 46%
- Thread starter Dorukhan842
- Start date
Id love to see the dollar amount of total sales per platform
I'm not saying PC sales mostly consist of cheap bundles but i bet it helps. Capcom does a lot of those on Steam and Humble Bundle.
Capcom games are cheaper on PC, at least outside of the US. Sales are much better there too. Consoles users get fucked on this front with pretty much every publisher. Launch sales are the only place where consoles win
No. The 6% is their total physical sales. 54 + 40 + 6 = 100.
The 6% physical is 6% of their total software sales altogether, of digital + physical. So physical is more like 15% of Capcom's total console sales.
FWIW, most of Capcom's games haven't released on Switch. If they had, the ratio for console would probably lead slightly over PC. That's a situation I'm sure Capcom will like to remedy with significantly stronger Switch 2 support.
No lies detected.
That would suggest that total revenue could favor PC (Steam) over the consoles, then, considering unit volume already favors that platform.
The times, they are a'changin...
Not sure what you are even trying to say...
6% is included in the 46% the OP said.... it is all consoles sales physical + digital.
That gives ~87% digital ratio.
40 / 46 = ~87%
6 / 46 = ~13% (not 15%)
They do and it does boost sales. This point is interesting VVV
It's true, console users get fucked on prices as they rarely, if ever, see decent sales.
What would the capcom figures be if they offered the same level of sales on consoles?
Dragon's Dogma is probably included because it is already old.
But I don't see it being more than 1-2m units in these numbers.
Edit - Dragon Dogma released in March.
As someone who's been a PC gamer for over two decades, I'm a bit biased. However, I've always been very happy.
The price point is higher than a console, but there are plenty of PC controllers, if you're not a fan of keyboard. In my opinion, you really can't beat the sheer quantity of games available on PC, and those constant Steam sales are very juicy.
Unless they show us revenue there isn’t much to learn from this.
Steam's started doing introductory 10% discounts at launch which have started even leveling the playing field on that front.
Genuinely impressed the PC community has been so good to Capcom.
They *are* consistently releasing bangers and good ports though.

sony sells more than just video games and consoles, sony has money elsewhere to hold them together in much the same way
It's easy to support a publisher who releases GOTY contender games on a console you already own.
No revenue makes this meaningless. They also sold fewer units this year than last across the board, so PC got a larger piece of a smaller pie.
Make your bed with PC dogs and you'll have to lie in it, Capcom.

I think this year had less sales from big releases… Dragon Dogma 2 sold well in the previous quarter but this one it probably sold way less than what they had last year for the same quarter (SFVI released in June).
Anyway 95.4% of games sold where not new (released this quarter) so revenue split could indeed help to see how old titles (cheaper) are affecting revenue.
Probably they know that and don’t report it.
