MS' Next Acquisition May Be Bigger Than Bethesda

[Rekkapryde]

Once upon a time, somebody on the internet says something. And then 1 million lemmings start repeating it as fact.

Microsoft buys publicly traded companies ALL THE TIME and averages around 10 acquisitions a year

The only reason you guys have taken this stance is because you don't want them to buy a studio you love. Don't start making shyt up tho bruh, this is not a good look

Now I got to single you out when they buy another publicly traded company

PS5 Could Lose Out on Upgraded Versions of Past Bethesda Games
And so it begins

Capcom did 900 million in revenue last year, Zenimax did a little over 500 mill tho.

ES6 will sell like flames, but it's not 30 million sold at 50/60 bucks either and that was over 7 years too. Capcom money is more consistent. Zenimax was worth over a billion and got 7.5 from MS. Capcom is generating almost double the revenue Zenimax has over the last couple of years. They are worth way more than than the 7.5 billion Zenimax got if that's the case.

Capcom dropped almost every series they had last year to do 900 million
Zenimax dropped nothing and did 500 million

Es6 isnt out yet so what do you mean 7 years ago

Capcom money hasnt been consistent since the mid 2000s. They havnt had a game break into double digit millions sold since the mid 90s Zenimax has had multiple games compete for best sellers of the year the past decade do you forget how big Fallout 4 was it sold almost 14 million when was the last Capcom game to do those numbers we are 2 decades past Capcom peak this shyt is weird as fukk to be having a conversation where a company that holds 2 of the arguable current biggest franchise, Elder Scrolls and Fallout, is being discussed with someone that their most known title (Street Fighter) is struggling

Capcom was worth $1.1 billion just in 2016 Things change

Capcom doesnt have ANY titles that will do as good as the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls game. NONE. ITSN OT A DEBATE. ITS NOT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. Capcom already sent their heaviest of hitters out to the plate and they struck out. Its over. Mafukkas threw everything they had in their arsenal in 2019 and couldnt crack a billion in revenue with an insanely high over head.

Resident Evil 7 is their best selling game recently (and the best selling Resident Evil ever) and it will barely hit 8 million

Fallout 5 will do that in a month

what a fukking disgusting conversation going on here

Is Nas bigger than Drake because hes been known longer but by less people

they year before, 2018, they did 892 million fam.
2017 - 778 million

you forget they make a ton of money with mobile shyt now too which has made their stock explode in the last year.

Capcom can and should easily get more than what Zenimax got if they were to sell. The value of their current stock alone cements that.

Also, where are you getting this $500 million revenue?

Also where did you get Zenimax $1 billion networth figures earlier?

in comparison, in 2016, Zenimax was worth $2.5 billion. The same time period Capcom was worth $1.1 billion. So are you implying that in the past 4 years, with less video game sales than Zenimax, Capcom leap frogged Zenimax by billions ?

They are not a publicly traded company so where are you getting your figures from ?

Bro what do y'all nikkas even be arguing about .. just play the games damn

Well in that same time period, 2016-2017 you somehow missed monster hunter world which sold 22 million copies. How you miss that is hilarious but your numbers been off all thread

Probably the same place you are, the net. Even @MeachTheMonster read similar.

But Capcom's worth has exploded over the last couple of years compared to Bethesda. And if their stocks are worth over 6 million right now, all I'm saying is that I think they can get more than MS got from Bethesda.

Coincidentally, that's when their revenues shot the fukk up

Monster Hunter: World is the best selling title of Monster Hunter as of August 6th, 2020 the title has sold 16 million

where did you get that they sold 22 million in 2016

this graph is from Capcom themselves and from August 2020

edit: Skyrim is at 30 million sales by it self

why dont I see Capcom games on this list

All that shyt basically confirmed especially Sega. It takes a year or two for foreign companies to purchase or partner with companies in Japan.

The replies of people taking all of this as fact.


Man, as much as I want Microsoft to be competitive, everyone should've learned by now to not count any of this shyt until something actually happens. Phil and Co. done pump faked too many times.

 

[Red Shield]

Microsoft will definitely be acquiring some more studios. So no real surprise there.

I can't see the Sega thing happening. If it didn't happen right after the DC, then it ain't happening now.

 

[Black Bolt]

Capcoms networth is less than what Zenimax got

microsoft could probably write Capcom a $2 billion check today and theyd take it

Capcom is considerably worth more than Zenimax is/was
