Capcom in its latest earnings report for the six-month period ending September 30, 2024 (first half of fiscal year 2025) revealed it has sold more games on PC than on all consoles combined.
The company sold a total of 20.02 million games so far for the fiscal year, which is down 11.4 percent year-on-year. 10.74 million or 54 percent of those sales were digital PC sales, while digital console sales accounted for 8.02 million units or 40 percent of the total. Physical game sales accounted for just 1.26 million units or six percent of the total.
Breaking down the total games sold, there were 3.09 million games sold in Japan and 16.93 million games sold overseas. There were also 18.95 million catalog games sold and 1.07 million new games sold.
New releases from Capcom include Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, and Ace Attorney Investigations Collection.

Good overall and good for PC, but I wonder which made them more money; PC sales or Consoles sales? Because I've seen too many really cheap Steam/Humble bundle sales from Capcom, and many are from their older titles.
Also not surprise that digital is selling more for Capcom than physical, they don't have the best track record for physical games (ie Switch games comes with download code only in the case, RE4 remake gold edition was digital only in NA etc..)
I think it’s safe to say that PC made more money as well.
You see games like RE and Monster Hunter regularly in the top selling games on Steam still even with no sales/discounts. And this obviously includes multiple games that released this year like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Dead Rising remaster, Marvel vs Capcom collection, Monster Hunter Stories, etc
there's a 1.5m gap between PC and console sales and even though total sales decreased by 11%, revenue dropped much more so it should mean that many of the sales have been from games not sold for full price.
But still, PC is big and physical sales get closer to be irrelevant every year.
True. I imagine this discrepancy will continue to grow as time goes on. Monster Hunter is Capcom's biggest franchise on PC in terms of player counts. Wilds is going to do numbers on the platform.
I thi k they have a progressive system these days. Basically when a game generates more revenue the dev has to pay less royalties

After 50 million in revenue the royalty percentage is 20% instead of 30%.
yeah, prices are crazy on PC. MHW has been $10 at least 5 times in the last 3 months.
Surprised, mainly because of how DD2 turned out (it's game performance itself wasn't stellar, but I guess that didn't stop people from playing it regardless).
The hype for the new MH on PC seems pretty high (going by streamer talks and my irl talks with some Zoomers last weekend).
