| 360 | 8 | 1,700,000 |
| PC/Other | 3 | 900,000 |

Wii O_O. Fewer titles, higher sales? How's that?


Same thing caught my eye lol. Matter of fact, Wii was the best software seller for Capcom. But I'm sure that won't be spoken of or blown up in the forums.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Monster Hunter 3G?  That could account for a million alone in Japan...

3G may be in the future, but I think those remarks (Wii - fewer titles, higher sales) were regarding the fiscal year that just ended.

lol, oh I got totally confused!

Same argument sort of works, MH3 being about a million of those sales last year in Japan alone.  Still really impressive sales for Wii though, with a better average than 360 or PS3 even if you exclude MH3! O_O

Pretty terrible DS numbers, especially for a Japanese company.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

No one has a full list of the games that might be included in those numbers?

I'm pretty sure there's a catch.

Only big game on the Wii was MH3 and maybe RE:DC. The other consoles had more titles and bigger ones (like SF4 and RE5...)

Don't tell me Spyborgs sold well. -_-

Maybe i'm forgetting something.

 Monster Hunter carried Capcom through the whole year - they pretty much didn't release any other games that sold well at all. RE:SE was probably their best selling non MH game lol.

 

 Looks like they've got a good year ahead of them though, I expected Lost Planet 2 to be a huge success despite mediocre critical reception, another PSP Monster Hunter will sell gangbusters, SSFIV is doing very well and Dead Rising 2 will hopefully turn out okay. Just need a strong Wii game or two now...

 RE5 and SFIV were in the previous fiscal year so it's not them - although RE5 SE will be counted.

 My guess is the PS3 / 360 numbers, aside from the obvious (Dark Void, Bionic Commando, RE5 SE) are downloadable games (Megaman 10 etc) and games they publish exclusively in Japan like God of War III and God of War Collection. Probably add up all individual SKU's as well (i.e. GOWIII, GOWIII Trilogy edition etc etc).

 *shrug*.

Both SF4 and RE5 shipped FY2008.  4.4 million for RE5 and 2.5 million for SF4 that year.

Yeah, bmmb1 nailed what I was trying to say. Maybe I should have been more clear? Good job though on figuring that even without MH Wii still had a strong showing for Capcom..makes you wonder...
