FY2009 Sales Units by Platform

| Platform | New Titles | Unit Sales |
---------------------------------------------
| PS2 | 10 | 600,000 |
| PS3 | 11 | 2,700,000 |
| PSP | 20 | 2,400,000 |
| Wii | 8 | 3,200,000 |
| NDS | 12 | 1,000,000 |
| 360 | 8 | 1,700,000 |
| PC/Other | 3 | 900,000 |
---------------------------------------------

| Total | 72 | 12,500,000 |

Their outstanding sales on Wii were translated into abandoning the platform, it seems very logical ...

Unfortunatly for you i am not kiffing. I first wanted to say my ire to them to ask where are SF IV and MvsC 3 Wii, also a wii RE in the vein of RE4? That's the hate feeling i am speaking about.

On other hand, they still give better and more polish game that many other company as Zack and Wiki, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom or Monster Hunter Tri. At least we had little love from them, not a big raised middle finger.

For the next console, we can only hope but yes, it is not guarantee they give it some support. But if things turn well for them on 3DS, i wish it will be ok.


Um, I'm not going to consider a differering opinion like that "unfortunate".

But we did get the middle finger when they decided the sales weren't enough, and the thread in the OP shows that.

Yes, even if actually our opinion are not as different. I won't be too hard against Capcom even if they could have done more on the Wii.

By now, i am in peace for that with the 3rd party company. It's stupid for them and could hurt them even more if the next Nintendo console is bigger than the wii and other competitor have less success than now, because they will sell less game because Nintendo gamers won't care or won't know about them.



But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

DA-AAMN! Those numbers are sick!
also: the data in the link only goes up as far as march 2010. 

There is a (low) projection for 1.6 mil games between then and march 2011 (mostly from MHtri and Sengoku Basara) but no projection for the years ending march 2012 or 2013, ie. this year and next. So technically it is possible there are more releases in the works from Capcom, but that is only a technicality atm...

As for rebuilding for the Wii, so what? That's hypocracy, considering all the work that goes into an original game for the other systems. Activision showed it can be done, and still make money even with less sales. So more money is, and it might be a huge leap of logic, more money.

So what? Its not worth the risk to them. You don't want to invest in a HD console and they don't want to invest in making inferior ports for Wii.

Activision showed if you take a massively popular franchise like CoD and butcher it for the Wii people will still buy it. They won't buy it in the same massive numbers as HD platforms, but apparently breaking a million is amazing for a core Wii title.

Just because CoD can make money on Wii doesn't mean every HD game can.


My brother has a 360, and I even own some games for it. So assuming that it's not getting the games for me is false.

And it's not a risk when they haven't actually lost money, and the flops are actually more numerous on the HD systems. The risk being greater on the Wii is flat out false.

And people haven't been given the chance to buy the games in as great numbers, because they haven't been given the games for so long. That's not the Wii audience, that's third parties making this so, which means they can undo it by actually giving the games.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Something tells me it was going to be until Capcom saw the greener tech pastures of the 3DS.

Good! You got some 360 games now get the console. Maybe you'll be less bitter about not having more watered down ports on the Wii.

They have had numerous flops on Wii as well. RE:DSC, Dead Rising (I wonder why they didn't port DR2?!), those other obscure games I can't think of. Sengoku Basara was greeted with abysmal sales as well.

Well they aren't going to bring the games. Unfortunately, complaining on a forum isn't gonna change that. But I'm sure you'll agree Nintendo is more to blame than 3rd parties. I mean Nintendo put out the technicially inferior machine and 3rd parties can't easily port their HD games to it.

come on the wii got tsatsunoko vs capcom and mh trii. thats more then enough.

That's 2 games. Two.

Granted, i spent 200 hours on Monster Hunter Tri, and that's on the low-end of many of the more avid Hunters hereabouts, but that's still only two games.


and considering 3rd party games dont sell very well its on the wii its a good amount. yes many capcom games have failed on the hd consoles, but its because they were shit.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Most of the quality Capcom games on Wii sold well though: Resident Evil 4, Umbrella Chronicles, Monster Hunter Tri, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Okami... DSC didn't quite meet expectations but it's not a giant flop like Lost Planet 2 and Bionic Commando, which probably lost Capcom more money than all Wii flops combined.

While it's true Capcom lied to their fans, I can't really complain with having spent over 250 hours playing Monster Hunter Tri.

Right, the good games sold pretty well on Wii.

Wii fans often mention Bionic Commando, Lost Planet 2, and Dark Void flopped yet they completely ignore those were not good games. Easily forgettable titles amongst the great games found on HD consoles.

In the end I think Wii fans should just be happen Capcom gave them some of the best core titles on Wii.
