Japanese publisher Capcom has posted its annual earnings, revealing a massive 257 percent leap in profits for the company, thanks to a diverse portfolio of products. Net income jumped from ¥2.17 billion ($26.9 million) to ¥7.75 billion ($96.1 million).
Monster Hunter remains incredibly strong as a brand for Capcom. Monster Hunter Freedom 3 was the fastest-selling PSP title in history with 4.6 million units shipped, while Monster Hunter Frontier Online had a solid performance for the company and mobile spinoff title Monhan Nikki Mobile Airu Mura reached 1 million users.
The publisher said it had a total five million-sellers for the year. Targeting Western gamers seems to have worked as Dead Rising 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds both sold over 2 million units each. Capcom also sold 1.6 million units of Super Street Fighter IV, and 1.5 million units of Lost Planet 2.
