Capcom have released its financial earnings report for the first nine months of the 2012 fiscal year, which ends on March 31.
The big-picture news is that Capcom’s sales are up, earning a cool 6.6 billion in income yen this year, an increase of 104.9 percent. Capcom attributes this to strong sales of major releases such as “Resident Evil 6,” “Dragon’s Dogma,” a”DmC: Devil May Cry” and “Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.”
Sales of downloadable content, a crop of popular social games, on-going subscriptions to “Monster Hunter Frontier Online,” and a “Resident Evil 5”-themed slot-machine game rounded out the company’s income for 2012.
There’s more good news for the company, too: according to Capcom’s statement, “Dragon’s Dogma” performed better than expected, “becoming a million-seller unprecedented among recent new brand games.” It’s no surprise, then, that Capcom would want to follow up on the game’s success with a hefty expansion pack.

Hopefully, Awakening will breathe new life into this storied franchise, and encourage a new mainstream appreciation for Fire Emblem, as well as the twenty plus years that have gone into crafting these games.
