well the question should be: What does qualify as AAA for Capcom?

Surely Street Fighter and Resident Evil, but Dragon's Dogma and Dead Rising? Doubt it.

Dragon's Dogma was their second largest production ever,second only to Resident Evil 6. And was almost certainly a financial disaster, but definitely a AAA production so don't expect to see that franchise again. Dead Rising is also definatly AAA by their standards, DR3 being at least partially bank rolled by MS offsets the sales targets for that tho. Last gen Lost Planet and DMC were also AAA franchises for them but both of those had outsourced B games for their last entries so they are up in the air.

Huh!?

Dragon's Dogma has sold a good deal over 2 mill and that is not even counting the PC version or Dark Arizen DLC. It most definitely was not a  disaster.
