Sure, here’s a reimagined article:

So, get this. Capcom, you know, the big shot video game company from Japan? Yeah, them. They just spilled the beans on their numbers for, like, the last quarter or something, ending June 30th. Anyway, they’re saying they pulled in ¥45.5 billion. I mean, yeah, I did the math (sort of) and that’s around $302.2 million. Crazy, huh?
It’s wild because that’s, what, a 53.7% jump from last year? And it’s mostly ‘cause of their game stuff—Digital Contents or whatever they call it. I guess Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Street Fighter 6 really killed it. Oh, and Devil May Cry 5 probably got an extra bump thanks to some Netflix anime. Who’d have thought?
And, like, speaking of numbers, Devil May Cry 5 alone has sold 10.5 million copies. Yeah, I know, right? And get this: 1.7 million of those were just in the last few months. Resident Evil Village isn’t slacking either—12.2 million copies out there. Resident Evil 4 hit 10.6 million. And, not to leave Street Fighter 6 out, it’s at five million. Probably because it’s on that Nintendo Switch 2 thingy now too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to punch someone virtually on a new gadget?
Altogether, Capcom pushed out like 14.16 million units this time around. Last year, the number was at 9.53 million, so yeah, big difference. Anyway—oh, wait—where was I? Oh yeah, money talk. Their operating profit flew up by almost 91%, landing at ¥24.6 billion, which is $163.4 million if you’re counting. So, things are, like, super good for them right now, financially speaking.
Crazy to think about, but there it is.
