Capcom's Response To The Loss Of Physical Games: A Shrug
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Capcom reported a 68% increase in game unit sales compared to the same period in 2025, with Pragmata sales exceeding expectations, highlighting strong performance in its digital content business.
- When asked about the shrinking physical game market, Capcom responded that 90% of its sales are already digital and does not anticipate a significant impact from the decline in physical media.
- The company emphasized its focus on expanding digital sales through investments and new game releases, contributing to a 54.7% increase in net sales and an 81.1% rise in ordinary profit for the quarter.
- Despite these positive results, some analysts find it surprising that Capcom dismisses the potential loss of up to 10% of revenue from physical sales as insignificant, noting uncertainty about how many customers might reject digital-only games.
