Why do people have the impression that Capcom is a big publisher (or developer)?
How many milly sellers have they had in the last three years? DMC 4, Resident Evil for Wii, Dead Rising and perhaps a DS game or two.
Capcom is nowhere near the top 5.
1. Nintendo
2. Activision/Blizzard
3. EA
4. Sony?
5. Konami
6. Ubisoft
7. SEGA
8. Square Enix
And according to Wikipedia and Edge top 20 ranking, Capcom doesn't even belong to the top 10:

So it looks like:
9. Take-Two
10. THQ
11. MS?
12. Capcom
Also, Capcom's staff is only a lil bit over 1000 people. Ubisoft and Sqyare Enix have over 3,000, Take-Two has 2000, THQ has 1600.
