Yet another game publisher announced their quarterly financial results this week. According to our sister site Game Daily, Japan-based Capcom announced that profits from its latest fiscal quarter that ended Sept. 30 were 1.873 billion yen, which is 16.8 percent from the same period a year ago. A big reason for the jump were sales in Japan for their PSP game Monster Hunter Freedom 2G which has sold 2.5 million units.

Capcom plans to release a number of their games for the PC in the next several months including Bionic Commando, Dark Void and Street Fighter IV. In addition downloadable games like Age of Booty and Flock are also planned. As we reported earlier this week there's also a rumor that Resident Evil 5 might make it to the PC but so far Capcom has not officially announced it for that platform.
