When a game can sell over a million copies and STILL be considered a failure? There's something wrong with that picture. The entire video games industry as a whole really needs to scale things back, and start focusing once more on what it was that made video games fun in the first place, not "production values" and trying to make playable movies. |
Fact of the matter is that Capcom is in an even worse situation. Apperantly they have been losing money chasing that AAA blockbuster superhit for so long that they only have $152 million left in cash reserves. That is interesting, and just as SE needed Nintendo 3DS to stay afloat, so does Capcom (MH4). Yet, they too, refuse to give Nintendo their full support.
