　　Now Playing: What We Want From A Resident Evil 4 Remake

　　Promote digital strategy via expansion of sales regions and flexible pricingAim to release multiple major titlesPursue ongoing sales for major titles from past yearsPoint two suggests that Capcom will release some as-yet unannounced games before March 2021, and that they're expecting high sales from those titles. Capcom is looking for 10% year-on-year growth across all its operations, so they're clearly gearing up for a successful year. The upcoming Monster Hunter movie is cited throughout the report, and it seems Capcom is betting on the film's success.

　　Some new sales figures are also given for recent Capcom releases. The Resident Evil 3 remake has done well, securing 2.5 million sales. It's still someway off Resident Evil 2, which sold 5 million units as of December 2019, but it's a good figure.

　　Monster Hunter: World, meanwhile, is a genuine phenomenon, with 15.5 million sales between the base game and its expansion Iceborne. That's up another half million from the 15 million reported in early February, and it's worth reiterating that this figure is accurate as of the end of March 2020, meaning that those 500,000 extra units sold across roughly two months.

　　It's unclear what titles Capcom will release across the next financial year, but rumors persist of a Resident Evil 4 remake. We'll have to wait and see what the company announces, though.
