So Capcom hopes the game split will be 50:50, meaning PCs catch up to consoles in sales.
UK is one of the biggest PC markets in Europe. 65% of sales of RE4 remake are on PS. PC only gets 15.
UK sales of video games and consoles rose during the first quarter of the year, according to the latest market data from GSD and GfK. GSD data shows that game sales (including physical and digital downloads) rose 1% compared with the same period last year, with just under eight million games...

What you posted states they want PC to catch up to consoles sales. Their "focus on PC" states they want to release on PC at the same time. Funnily enough, most of their statements on this are pre-covid, when they saw a boost in PC sales in japan, which are now dropping off world wide.
1. Like I mentioned 3 times now They already hit 50% in Q2 2022 for PC sales. Odds are they will hit it more and more down the line especially when Monster Hunter Wilds comes out
2. Countries in Asia are a way bigger market for PC gaming than UK which RE4 Remake on both PS4 and PS5 only sold about 175,000 physical copies of RE4 in Japan on both PS4 and PS5. Even if you include what RE4 Remake did on PlayStation 4 and 5 digitally in Japan I really doubt RE4 Remake opened worse than that on Steam in that region.
Famitsu has published its estimated physical game software and hardware sales data for Japan for the week of March 20, 2023 to March 26, 2023.

So just because RE4 Remake opening week in the UK was 65% PlayStation do you think that was the case everywhere else in the world?
and if all capcom games sell everywhere at 65% PS4 and PS5 and 15% PC then how is Capcom selling more PC copies every year than they sell on PlayStation 4 and 5?
Don't forget like I already said in my last post that Monster Hunter World on PC in territories in Asia outsold the PS4 version and the PC version came out about 8 months after the PS4/XB1 version.
Capcom sells 26.6 million Console Games both Digitally and Physically in FY2023
and sells 19.7 Digital only copies of games on PC in FY2023
and remember 4.5 million of that Console games is from Physical Game sales so when only comparing Digital only sales it goes:
22.1 Million Digital Game sales across PS4/PS5/3DS/Switch/360/XB1/XBS
to 19.7 Million Digital PC sales
But forget about that, Capcom is a business and as a business they car about what makes them the most money and as of FY2023, PC makes the most money (Page 4 from Capcom's fact book for FY2023)
But I don't get why you are keep coming at me with PC is playing catch up to consoles? That is not what this is about.
So many people on this site lately have been saying PC gamers pirate everything but yet Capcom (Which is one of the few gaming companies right now breaking records and having a lot of success while almost everybody else is laying off employees and shutting down studios.) Sells more games on PC then they do on PlayStation which is their biggest Console provider.
Once Capcom Games start selling more on PC Which it is already almost there.
So why all the comments about how PC players are all pirates? How is stream one of the biggest private companies in the world if all everybody does is pirate software from them and never buy games off of steam which is my point?
