Back OT, yes, I think Capcom is far and away the smartest third party developer in Japan.
Look at how they spread resources... Sure, they haven't put many real blockbusters on the Wii, but they've fed some pretty good games to the system (Z&W, RE4: Wii, etc).
They're also the one Japanese developer that seems to understand Western tastes, which are quickly dwarfing the Japanese market when it comes to home consoles. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, RE4, etc... All good to great games targeted squarely at the Western markets. They also have their solid Japanese-flavored games (DMC, SF, MH, etc).
While I'm not sold at all on their upcoming Bionic Commando game, I have faith that it will be at least decent.
Capcom is the very definition of "not putting your eggs in one basket". They try to cover all markets and all systems, right down to PSN and XBL. If there is one Japanese developer that's set up to weather almost anything in the gaming market, it's Capcom. They show no loyalty to any market or system and try to ride the ebb and flow of the industry to their advantage.

Pretty much sums everything up for me.
