Revenue rose 13.2 percent, while net income also saw improvement, rising 14.6 percent compared to last year. Their real winners of the fiscal year were Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter XX, which according to Capcom showed "Solid performance."

The real stumbling block was Dead Rising 4. The newest entry to the tongue-in-cheek series that released for Xbox One and PC. It was noted that the mixed reaction to Dead Rising 4 came from the "more approachable" nature of the game did not resonate with everyone.
