Capcom's Stock Price Plummets as Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Crater
Capcom's latest financial report reveals a disastrous decline in Monster Hunter Wilds sales, dropping over 95% since launch. Player sentiment has turned overwhelmingly negative, primarily due to persistent performance issues that remain unaddressed. Despite initial success with 10 million sales, only 477,000 copies sold recently highlights a troubling trend. Critics point to a thin endgame and weapon balance problems, leaving veteran fans dissatisfied. Capcom's attempts to regain approval with gimmicks have done little to mitigate the fallout. While the company enjoys a 91% profit increase, the state of Wilds is a stark reminder of the risks of rushing releases. Investors may be concerned, as the stock dipped nearly 10% following the report. Ultimately, the core gameplay is solid, but the surrounding issues tarnish its potential.
