Speculation is growing that Capcom may be the next company in Microsoft’s sights for acquisition. In a recent interview, Capcom’s COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto revealed their stance on a potential takeover by Xbox.
When asked about a possible takeover offer from Xbox, Tsujimoto stated that he would decline the offer, preferring to be equal partners rather than under Microsoft’s oversight. He believes it is better for Capcom to focus on organic growth and invest in their own resources rather than mass production.
Capcom has been experiencing great success with their AAA releases like Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6, making it understandable that they want to continue on this path and capitalize on their momentum. This year has been their most successful to date.
The company is now looking to explore the mobile platform with their AAA releases, with two Resident Evil games set to launch on iOS devices later this year. Tsujimoto believes that diversification into mobile gaming is crucial for reaching their goal of 100 million game sales.
Capcom’s strong statement about rejecting a potential acquisition proposal shows their determination to continue their successful path and break their own records. They are focused on delivering high-quality AAA releases and expanding into new platforms to provide players with enjoyable experiences.
