The second half of this gen has kind of been a nightmare for Capcom, after the successof SF4, RE5, DMC 4, RE4 wii, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and RE:UC they have been missing the mark. The market just isn't responding to these new games and new ips. Lately it has basically just been SSF4, just an extension of SF4.
Bionic Commando 220k 360, 170k PS3 (expected 700k after lowering expectations)
Lost Planet 2 330k 360 360k PS3 (through week 5, expected 2.6 million after lowering expectations)
Dark Void 140k 360 130k PS3 (originally expected 2 million, lower to 600k at last minute)
MH3 west 420k
RE:DC 600k (expected 800k)
Tastunoko vs Capcom 280k + 100k (they said they were pleased but not a big profit maker either)
Those 3 HD games are bombs, and probably deserved to be. Capcom seems to have lost touch with the market, Dark Void and Bionic Commando are so far off from what the market is looking for. I don't know who is giving them the info on what kind of games to make but they should be fired. Those 3 wii games did decent (MH3 did great in Japan with subscriptions) but aren't exactly gonna carry the company either.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
