A key contributor to Capcom's success in the quarter was Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, which the company said "sold well," with the majority of units sold digitally. In addition, other titles, including Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Resident Evil Revelations 2, and Resident Evil HD enjoyed "robust" sales.

Also MH4U has sold over 3.9m worldwide.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has now sold more than 3.9 million units worldwide, Capcom said.

// Mod Edit:

Here's the relevant IR statement:

Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that net sales increased to 14,541 million yen (up 51.9% from the previous year) in the 3 months of fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. As for profits, operating income rose to 2,026 million yen (up 59.8% from the previous year), and ordinary income to 2,135 million yen (up 74.5% from the previous year). Net income attributable to owners of the parent increased to 1,569 million yen (up 104.9% from the previous year).

During the 3 months of the Digital Contents business, "Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition" sold well in addition to the robust repeat sales and digital download sales of other titles such as "Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate", "Resident Evil Revelations 2" and "Resident Evil (HD Remastered)" particularly in overseas markets.

Furthermore, in the Amusement Equipments business, the long-awaited "Resident Evil 6" made an excellent start with 19 thousand units, supported by the loyal fans and led the improvement in revenue as it contributed to the increase in sales.

It was probably a go-go before this, but now they'll finally talk about it.

BadWolf · Jul 30, 2015

DMC5 here we come.

Nori Chan · Jul 30, 2015

Now remake the remake for re4 and watch your sales continue.

you can have that one for free capcom

brickarts295 · Jul 30, 2015

I want DMC X DMC5.

Remaster just Devil May Cry 2 to further test the waters?

Krusenstern · Jul 30, 2015

I hope Capcom is motivated now.

gdt · Jul 30, 2015

Umm we have no idea how much DMC4SE contributed. All those other games put in work too and there's no indication DMC4SE outsold those.

FF Seraphim · Jul 30, 2015

If Capcom says they just do not see demand for DMC5 I will somehow create a Mechanized Dinosaur to terrorize their city.

KarmaCow · Jul 30, 2015

What have they said about RER2 in the past, did it do well? It already seemed like it was barely made.

Dahbomb · Jul 30, 2015

It's time to call back Vergil for DMC5.

DMC5: The Dark Vergil Returns

How about DmC2?

DMC4 SE Ultra + incoming....

VariantX · Jul 30, 2015

I'm glad it did do well, it wasn't just a straight re-master, it added a quite a significant amount of new stuff to the game and its more than worth re-purchasing if you loved Vanilla DMC4.

Someone mentioned in another thread that it has sold over a million.

itchyass86 · Jul 30, 2015

So more Lady and more Vergil? Right?

Krusenstern · Jul 30, 2015

silver.tongue said:

No.

Not Spaceghost · Jul 30, 2015

I'm hoping that MH4U did well enough in the west for capcom to finally realize that the west likes monhun.

Xaero Gravity · Jul 30, 2015

Well shit, I was hoping we'd get DmC2 instead

This. That is one cringeworthy thread title.

Hopefully DMC4: SE funded the development of DmC2 ;D

BatDan · Jul 30, 2015

Well of course the "majority" of sales were digital, that was the only option everywhere but Japan!

ViewtifulJC · Jul 30, 2015

yassssssss

ShockingAlberto · Jul 30, 2015

I think we're fast approaching the point where Capcom is just going to re-release every major game they've ever made.

Which I'm fine with if it gets me a port of UG&G.

Sephzilla · Jul 30, 2015

Announce DMC5 already, Capcom

ViewtifulJC said:

It's the exact same name as the article in the OP....

RoboPlato · Jul 30, 2015

After playing DMC4 SE I was hoping DmC DE would do better. I really didn't like DMC4. Mechanically it was awesome but holy crap was everything else bad.

I'm glad the series may get another chance at life but I really hope the design of the rest of the game is up to snuff if people have shown that much of a preference for DMC4. I want that combat but with far better design to back it up.

BaraSailey · Jul 30, 2015

Time for Capcom to finally announce DMC5 and make my dreams come true.

GIANKRATOS · Jul 30, 2015

So there's a chance? Come on capcom

Dinda · Jul 30, 2015

I'm glad for Devil May Cry, and i'm looking forward for a new one (with Lady as one of the protagonists)

But Capcom why don't you realize how well a Super Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen HD Turbo would sell? (especially for the first time on PC.....) why??? Capcom you dummies

Vex_ · Jul 30, 2015

goodbye Donte! I wont miss you!

Carbonox · Jul 30, 2015

why would they do that? they'd have to make an entire new game. they'll make dmc 3 special edition instead and you and everyone else will buy it god dammit.

Baleoce · Jul 30, 2015

I know that GAME and the UK in general is a law unto itself in terms of retail pricing. But I went in last week and saw Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate 3DS on sale for £20, and today I went into the exact same store, and saw it "on sale" for £35.

antitrop · Jul 30, 2015

So when is RE4 HD coming to PS4/Xbone?

Anth0ny · Jul 30, 2015

Enigmatic Rainbow · Jul 30, 2015

I'm ready for a new DMC.

Earlier this year they mentioned they shipped more than 1 million copies (counting retail and digital) in NA and EU.

Name of the article. Or am I not allowed to post it because of my avatar just happens to be DMC related?

Jigorath · Jul 30, 2015

Devil May Cry 5 at TGS?

I've been asking for this for years. Give me RE4 in 1080/60 please.
