Mind you I'm hardly blaming the Gamecube (1.5 million copies should be profitable, unless you really screwed up), but if you look at the situation from Capcom's perspective, they bet on Nintendo and came up short. It may not be rational, but it IS understandable why they might feel cautious towards Nintendo for a bit (and why some of the key employees who made that deal are no longer with Capcom, while their current president ascended to his current post). |
No, they did not bet on the GC. They just promised a few games, but gave the PS2 most of their games. Them coming up short was their own problem.
The reason they didn't support the Wii was just an assumption it wasn't going to do well (as a lot of developers did), because they actually said that was the reason.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
