Capcom interested in future acquistions, series’ sales data
“We will be actively pursuing friendly acquisitions and partnerships. In order to ensure stable and sustained growth, we must expand our business in the larger size overseas market where there is ample room for growth. We therefore have no plans to merge with any major Japanese video game publishers or toy manufacturers in the foreseeable future since it is unlikely to contribute to sales expansion overseas. Such a merger could also restrict our licensing business opportunities. On the other hand, we are aggressively going after acquisition and partnership opportunities if they benefit our goal of creating gaming content with universal market appeal. As I mentioned earlier, K2 Corporation with whom we have developed titles for overseas was made our wholly owned subsidiary during this fiscal year. Our aggressive strategy on merger and acquisition has already begun producing good results.” -Kenzo Tsujimoto
