Capcom already projected just 500k for MH3 in the west. 300k for Basara 3 Wii sounds about right. That leaves 800k for other new releases and catalogue sales... RE4 Wii alone for example moved an additional 200k this past year. |
New releases then will probably account for 600k or so. They said 6 titles for FY 2011, and that doesn't mean 6 new titles, but titles that will have shipments. So include MHTri, SB3, RE4 and don't know what else. Say there are 3 new titles released, 600k among those 3 titles looks pretty weak IMO, which means they are probably multiplat games like MotoGP, ports like RE archives or Okami or a small new IP like Spyborgs/We Love Golf.
I'm really doubting now that MH3G will ever see a release.

Well, with MHP3 this fiscal cycle, we wouldn't see MHG3 until Q1 next cycle anyway at earliest. I agree it may not happen for Wii, though with better than expected western sales now, that may help push it forward. Or (better imo) do it on 3DS instead, and transition the MH base there early.
And the 6 games figure does mean new titles, though it can also include "new" budget titles. RE4 Wii wouldn't count but a new "Player's Choice" version could. Maybe Zack & Wiki or something makes the new (user reviewed) Wii budget line?
I agree with your general point though, I'm really not expecting anything. Maybe a niche title or two at best. I sort of wonder what sold all those Wii games for Capcom last year though... I mean take out MH3 (1.15m) and RE DSC (600k) and you still have 1.45m games sold for Wii. What sold all that? Spyborgs? TvC? Okami? Old RE ports? :/

I really doubt that's the case, where is that 16 new titles figures coming from for the PS3 then? What we know is DR2, LP2, SSF4, SB3 and MvC3. I find it difficult to accept that there are 11 more games scheduled for release this year, even counting cheaper editions. And what about PSP as well, 19 titles? We only know of 3 so far...
I think it's amount of titles that had units shipped, they don't have to be new or anything. Check at the top of the graph posted in this thread, it says shipped units, so the number of titles really correspond to the amount of games that saw shipped units that year. I mean, Capcom hasn't released 34 PS3 games, even if you count cheaper editions (and I'm leaving FY 2007 apart because it's not listed there).
As for the Capcom games from last year, there was MHG which sold 250k~ and RE4 another 200k, so there's 1 million left among these titles: RE and RE0 in the west, Okami port in Japan, Spyborgs in the west, TvsC: UAS in all territories and continued sales from other games like RE:UC, etc.
