Acquisitions and mergers have been going on in the video game industry for decades now, but it seems like there's a lot of extra attention on them thanks to recent moves by Xbox. Microsoft purchased Bethesda in 2021, and has been in the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard since early 2022. Sony has also gotten in on the trend, buying Bungie in 2022. Capcom might seem like the perfect target for either of these gaming giants, the company currently enjoys its freedom.
Interestingly enough, Tsujimoto also noted that Capcom does not have a lot of interest in acquiring outside studios of its own. Acquisitions are often about filling a potential need for a company, and finding studios that can make them a stronger part of the industry. However, Tsuijimoto says that Capcom prefers to grow from within, and isn't currently interested in making any acquisitions of its own.
Capcom GamesWhile so many other companies are playing the acquisition game, it's easy to see why Capcom has little interest. The company's previous fiscal year was a major success, thanks in large part to games like Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Resident Evil 4. The company sold 41.7 million units of video game software in a fiscal year that ended on March 30th.
