History

Historical Context

In 2001 Nintendo launched the GameCube, and Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 was a successful exclusive, showing mature horror titles could thrive on Nintendo hardware, expanding the console’s audience. That multi-platform ambition resurfaced in 2026 as Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 will debut on Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox, echoing the earlier push toward broader console reach. The GameCube sold roughly 21.7 million units worldwide.
