Capcom Fiscal Report Confirms PC Is The Primary Software Platform Following Record Growth Driven By Digital Sales And Long Term Back Catalog Pricing Strategies
Capcom's latest annual fiscal report has confirmed personal computers as the main software platform for the publisher. As stated in the official corporate earnings release, sales to PCs have increased for 3 years in a row. This steady climb has cemented the platform as the publisher's foundation as opposed to other major publishers such as Sony, who focus on consoles first.
This diagram shows the enormous extent of the platform migration in sheer volumes alone. During the fiscal period, the publisher sold a total of 59,070,000 units globally. PC sales were a staggering 32,170,000 units, translating to roughly 55% of the total software units sold worldwide. Compare this to the fiscal data from 2020, where the share of sales accounted by PCs was a meager 27%.
Worth noting that in FY2020, PC accounted for 26.6% of Capcom's full game sales.

An important factor influencing this migration of platform preference lies in Capcom's aggressive, long term pricing strategy. They make use of repeated sales for older titles to sell to a wider audience over a longer period of time. The combination of sales and their long term pricing model has turned their older titles into the backbone of Capcom's income stream, with older titles making up 83% of total units sold. By making older titles accessible digitally on platforms such as Steam, Capcom has managed to monetize its old titles long after their original launch.
