Capcom has reported its financial results for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2016. Net sales increased by 19.8 percent year-over-year to 77,021 million yen ($711 million) while operating income also rose 13.7 percent to 12,029 million yen ($111 million).

Monster Hunter Generations was a large contributor to Capcom’s success. The company anticipated that the game would sell about 2.5 million copies, but it ended up moving three million units.

Capcom is targeting net sales of 85,000 million yen ($785 million) for the next fiscal year. There will be a focus on improving penetration of its brand outside of Japan, increasing digital game sales, and launching major games including Monster Hunter Stories and Ace Attorney 6.
