I really hope Capcom isn't banking on the PS3's momentum lasting past christmas, they really need to stop being so fickle and make up their mind. And what evidence is there that people aren't just buying it as a Blu-Ray player, with the still poor attatch rate of games for the PS3 despite its renewed sales, one can only wonder. I could see RE5 going the same route as MH3 given the surprising success of RE4 and RE:UC, but this late into development, its unlikely. I wonder if this interview was just to try and warm up the PS3 crowd who has been dissapointed with them lately? Or do they yearn to suckle from Sony's cock once more?

No matter how you may like to spin it fangirl, Capcom will make decisions which benefit the company. There is no logical reason why they can't benefit from all the consoles. Why would they deny themselves the oppurtunity to sell to millions of potential customers??

As for evidence of the ps3 being used for other things besides a bluray player please refer to the ever improving software sales across all regions.

 

 

Software Sales are improving for the PS3, but they are still disproportionate to the increase in PS3 hardware. Do a little math, your computer should have a calculator program on it.

Capcom sees it has a solid base on the Wii and the only reason DMC4 and RE5 aren't currently slated for the Wii is due to the fact development began before the Wii upset the video game world. RE4 and REUC are testaments to the strength of the RE franchise on the Wii, it would be foolish to ignore a system whose userbase is starved for hardcore games as oppossed to the 360 which is saturated with them and the PS3 which has unpredictable software sales.

 


If you read my post again you would see that I wasn't saying Capcom should ignore the wii but that it seems more beneficial for them to sell across all consoles as it will make them more money. And you can do the math 37 million user base combined is a better market then 16.5 alone for the wii.

I can see now that your original post was more about your frustration that certain games will not be coming to the wii than it was about Capcom support for the wii. From my perspective Capcom has been one of the most supportive devolopers when it comes to the wii but you should accept that it is simply not possible to make games like RE5 or DMC4 on the wii without seriously scaling back on the graphics. Also I don't think the wii controls are well suited for the kind of gameplay that DMC is renowned for.
