These Capcom employees know nothing, we should clearly listen to the video game estimates site who get tons of other games wrong when compared to other more legitamate sources. To think that Capcom's own employees who are in charge of making these games sell would have a clue how well it sold at all, what a stupid foolish ignorant idea, they wouldn't have a clue! If only we had at least one Capcom employees state how well the game sold and how well it's finances held...OH SHI. |
Had Sven not shown a lack of up to date information in the past, I would completely agree with you. He has been shown to doubt numbers that were released by Capcom themselves. Obviously you trust Capcom over anyone else, but he is not a great definitive source. His statement even implies a certain level of uncertainty as to the exact numbers. I hold no doubt that the game was a disapointment for Capcom, and I am fairly convinced the numbers are too high here. I just don't believe the exact number quoted is one that should be trusted without a better source.
As for employees in general, well we have seen at least one Capcom employee mouth off incorrectly recently. The claim that Viewtiful Joe was not successful is down right ridiculous in light of the over-whelming evidence it had to have turned at least a small profit. There were 2-3 sequels made for the game which is not typically done if you lose money on the venture (lack of Z&W and Okami sequels as an example). Sometimes it is the random guys on the internet that know more for some reason.
