Forums - Sales Discussion - Capcom numbers: Lowest since 2005

MrT-Tar on 18 September 2010

DC had disappointing sales considering the original.  However, given that the Wii market had been saturated with rail shooters in-between and little  or no advertising and it's no surprise

Everybody that was even talented at Capcom is now at Platinum Games or Grasshopper or other studios (except Keiji inafune). RE5 sucked, DMC4 sucked and SF4 was slight disappointment, they stepped it up with SSF4 though. The only things that is coming out of Capcoms doors thats even playable since RE4 is arcade games, fighting games and Dead Rising, all of which doesn't bring much cash as they don't sell to well.

Monster Hunter still rocks, so no, there's still talent at Capcom.  Ditto for Ghost Trick and Basara 3 evidently, and Okamiden looks great.  Just because their internal HD exclusive efforts have gone south doesn't mean the company has overall.

And SF4 was amazing, though it was also really developed at Dimps.


Doesn't Dimps work for Sega? Or do they make games for multiple different publishers?

Well, this is what happens when you don't give adequate support to the leading console.

They were co-founded by Sega and SNK and have made games for TONS of other publishers too (Capcom, Bandai, Namco, Sammy, Banpresto, Sierra, etc).  They're mostly ex-Capcom and SNK staff though (which is why they were tapped for SF4).

This is ancient news guys, its just official numbers from the annual report that were in quarterly reports back in May.

Dark Void and Bionic Commando were not bad games.

They weren't good games either imo.  Neither was LP2 sadly. :(

I will defend RE5 though, but then I only played it co-op ever.

Feel sorry for capcom. I did my part, i bought bionic commando, dark void and lost planet 2, though for a very cheap price $20-10. Their new games look really lame though, hope Capcom returns to greatness.

i agree, i own them, the press killed those games. I actually believe Bionic Commando is the best $10 dollar game on the market. It's such a shame no one got what the game is all about. "SWINGING"

I thought they were good, though Dark Void had some glitches, though flyin with the jetpack is FUNNN
