Capcom posts $940 million in revenue in latest financial results
Capcom’s latest financial result are in. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, the company posted ¥94 billion ($940 million) in revenue. That’s up from ¥82 billion ($820 million) the year prior.
In spite of the financial gain, Capcom’s Digital Contents Business – which accounts for a little more than 57 percent of the publisher’s total income – saw a profit loss by more than 50 percent. Console, Windows PC and mobile titles primarily encompass this sector.
Going forward, Capcom will emphasize its online games division, which experienced a revenue increase of 45.9 percent. Additionally, the company is planning more DLC.
COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said:
“I regret to say that, up to now, we had few plans for the full-scale implementation of DLC. From here on out, we need to focus on the long-term provision of content starting at the earliest stages of development. Furthermore, in terms of user response, if the additional related content we are providing continually to users online is deemed uninteresting from the start, there will be no ongoing business to pursue. This means that, more than ever before, the creation of underlying content is the key to success.”
