In total, Capcom sold 30.1 million total game units in the fiscal year from April 2020 through March of 2021. Notably, Capcom's quarterly report for July through September of this year also dropped at the same time, offering an update on Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, which sold one million in its first few months, and noted that Monster Hunter Rise sales have continued to grow during this period. Its goal, as stated later in the report, is to sell 20 million copies of World. While Capcom notes the game has been discounted to as low as $10 in the past, the game is already profitable - so even sales as low as $5, Capcom suggests, would still be profitable, and the publisher hopes to take advantage of lower pricing to expand its userbase. Capcom reported that in total, World has sold over 17 million copies, over half of those sold in its second year and beyond. Monster Hunter: World, incidentally, is doing great - enough that Capcom feels comfortable discounting it significantly. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne sold 2.4 million in the last fiscal year alone, on top of 5.2 million last fiscal year, not including sales of Monster Hunter World prior to Iceborne. As usual, it included an update on sales numbers for several new games, such as Resident Evil Village reaching 4.5 million units sold, as well as publisher-described hit of the year, Monster Hunter Rise, which reached 4.8 million. In an industry that likes to hide sales numbers whenever possible, Capcom's annual report is always a nice change of pace.
