Capcom's PS3 output going up to 16 titles, Wii down to just 6 titles. 360 has 12 titles to come.

It impresses me how well run Capcom are - they posted a profit despite having two huge bombs this year in Dark Void and Bionic Commando. Monster Hunter pretty much carried them through the whole year lol.

When you see companies like EA leaking ****tons of money, despite having numerous millions sellers, it makes you wonder where it's all going 0_o.

Darkside Chronicles 600k in half a year, not bad for an on-rails game. And VGC numbers are spot-on, well done.

They only expected 800k btw.  So while it didn't hit targets, it at least didn't halve them (like Bionic Commando, which was expected to move 1.5m).

Is it just me, or do those numbers for those "Sales Plans" seem ridiculously high?

And isn't that for FY2010 only?

You mean actual sales or number of titles?

Titles can be tricky to figure out, as they're counted separately by region and by printing.  So (for example) Lost Planet on the original Xbox would have been counted eight times by now (JP, NA, EU, AS and Platinum reprints for each).  Going by the LOW Wii number, it looks like Capcom's not getting into the Minna no Susume Selection club. :/

Was Lost Planet 2 adjusted down badly?

I thought they expected it to sell 3.7 mill units.

It was.  Another game joins the "lowered expectations" HD club...

 

Bionic Commando: 2m -> 1.5m (sold 700k)

Dark Void: 2m -> 1.3m -> 600k (didn't even make that evidently)

Lost Planet 2: 2.7m -> 3.7m -> 2.2m

 

 

...next up, Dead Rising 2. ;)

 

 

In other news, SSF4 has likely already passed it's expectations (1.1m) and RE5 Gold definitely has (350k).  I get the feeling MH3 will also meet it's original 2m expectation with encouraging western sales now.

I mentioned it before, but budget rereleases are counted separately.  I'd expect a good number of those PS3 games to be that (it's not getting 3 more original titles than 360)...

Besides Sengoku Basara 3 Capcom doesn't have any new Wii title for this fiscal year :(

PS3:11

So far, but they'll likely have something at E3.  TVC2 has been rumored, which would make sense given TVC1 has already beat targets and Wii is evidently missing out on MVC3.
