pcgamesinsider.bizThe share price of Japanese games giant Capcom has hit its highest point ever.
As spotted by industry analyst Dr Serkan Toto, the company's stock rose to a peak of ¥4,865 ($36.44). The share price dropped to ¥4,840 ($36.26) by the end of trading.
The ¥4,865 peak is a 485.60 per cent increase since January 2000.

Last year, Capcom increased the salaries of its Japanese employees by 30 per cent.
