Sure thing, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

So, Capcom’s been busy. Get this: they pulled in ¥45.5 billion (which, if you’re like me and need it in dollars, is $302.2 million) in just three months. Yeah, that’s right, ending June 30th. Maybe you expected it, maybe not, but that’s a whopping 53.7% jump from the previous year. How’d they do it? Mainly their games — or “Digital Contents” if you want to sound official.
They’re shouting out Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil Village, the new Resident Evil 4, and Street Fighter 6. Devil May Cry 5 got an extra push from a Netflix anime. Don’t ask me why that works, but it apparently does.
So here’s a number that might blow your socks off: Devil May Cry 5 sold 10.5 million units. Last quarter alone they shifted 1.7 million of those. Meanwhile, Resident Evil Village is chilling at 12.2 million, Resident Evil 4 remake is at 10.6 million, and Street Fighter 6 hit 5 million. I guess people still love punching each other in digital form. Also, something about Nintendo Switch 2 — not gonna pretend I know what that’s about exactly.
In these three months, Capcom moved 14.16 million units. Just to compare, last year’s same period was 9.53 million. That’s a 48% rise if you’re into numbers.
And that’s not all. Operating profit — whatever that fully means — shot up by 90.8%, reaching ¥24.6 billion, which Google tells me is $163.4 million. Go, Capcom. Guess killing zombies and fighting games still pay off big, huh?
