Yet they have made a profit for every one of the last 10 years and have near record net assets and cash......

Did you miss the bit where I said this?  I'm not making it up or guessing, its from the accounts.

Well I guess you don't do financial fact checking then? 

The last time they even made even a record was 2011: http://www.shacknews.com/article/68358/capcom-gets-46-revenue-bump 

You said for the last 10 years? 4/5 of those Megaman games drained a lot of cash. Then, this last year: http://gaminrealm.com/2013/09/10/capcom-152-mil-bank/

You are telling me that they have all the money in the world to create more AAA titles than anyone else? Take the blindfold off, they need to make money. They have been losing money, and consistantly been making stupid financial decisions. That cash on hand used to be much greater than it was last year. 

No I am not saying that.  I am saying they have made a profit every year for 10 years and have NEAR (NEAR!!!!!) record levels of net assets and profit.

These are facts!

And please dont insult my intelligence by linking me to a gaming site about financial results after I have just linked the actual financial reports from the parent company.

People want capcom to fail...  So they use bizzare logic. They have made some poor decisions. Depsite this, they are still making money!
If they had made better decisions they would have made even more money.

Another example, is Square-Enix, They had like 1 year last gen (I believe) where they actually lost money I believe. That was the year they released, tomb Raider, Hitman, etc...

A company's health has more to do with than just if they profited a certain year (IE if they sell off their assets, like sony did to make money, that is not good).

People here can't read financial reports,  and try to equate the quality of their games to whether the company is doing well or not. Which is bizzare, since this is a sales website.
