Forums - Gaming Discussion - Capcom Has Only $152 Mil in the Bank

Tagged games:

Cash doesn't mean shit by itself, their equity is well over $600 million right now, meaning they've actually GROWN these last two years. Every single year since 2009 they've profited, too, something not even Nintendo can claim.

Further making their comment on Nintendo more humorous, a company I think it's safe to say we ALL know will never go bankrupt, is the fact that Nintendo's equity SHRUNK 2 billion these last two years, so Capcom is actually on a better fiscal path than Nintendo.

No idea what their financials look like and don't feel like looking. Don't know what liabilities they have either, but how is 152 million bad?

I mean doesn't a big AAA game cost like 20-30 million at most? So aren't they able to still make 5-8 games before they are broke? And that is if each game sells NOTHING.

As long as they don't spend like 80 million on advertising or something dumb it seems like 152 million is plenty of money.

Now if there are other random expenses like overhead or management expenses that aren't being attributed to a games budget, then there is a big problem if 150 million is not enough money to cover that.



Will be a shit load more than just $152M in a couple weeks.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Why are people saying "holy shit its true" as if they know what it means in the context of the business.

Why do people think cash of $150m is bad?

Because it's less than Nintendo has and Nintendo is on the brink of collapsing. Capcom would be bankrupt by the end of this month, but luckily they have Monster Hunter 4 launching later this week.


For a second there thought you were serious.:P



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Because it's $130 million less than 2 months ago.


We are talking about money in the bank right?

It's really useless to compare how much money a company has in the bank now and how much it had 2 moths ago. If two mohts ago they had doubble the money in the bank but dubble the bills to pay as well, it sort of evens out again.

Plus for a company to just hoard money in the bank for no apparent reason is stupid, you could put that money to work and make some more money with it... There is  a treade- off betwen liquidity and profitability

Sad to see Capcom lose out. They make some good games and aren't afraid to work with Nintendo.



Explains the Street Fighter IV milking



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS MAN
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS



 

 

Take my love, take my land..

Well, I'd guess the 3DS will save them, just as it saved SE:p



I can foresee how ridiculous this thread would be in 3 days time.
On a side note, Capcom deserve this anyways, for killing such amazing IPs !
