| Oyvoyvoyv said: Shams, I'm certain that since DMC 4 is multiplat (and therefore costs 10% extra), costs more to make, and is likely to have less legs, Capcom made more money on RE:UC and RE4 separate, than on DMC4 |
Quite possible. Without some numbers, its hard to do a real analysis. RE:UC has been in development for a long time.
The profit per (shipped) unit on DMC4 is no doubt significantly higher than on UC or RE4.
And if the development cost for their internal DMC4 engine is be shared amoung various titles - that helps considerably.
...
I'm basically saying, that I think its in Capcoms interest to spread out potential releases for RE5 - release the 360/PS3 versions first, then throw it to the Wii/RE4 team for 12 months for a quality port - plus extra content.
