Forums - Sony - Capcom bemoans lost PSN revenue, Publisher is "frustrated and upset

Developers and publishers have a right to complain, but Capcom hasn't released anything for like a month, how could they have be losing that much money? Unless I'm greatly underestimating how much DLC and games make beyond release. Now the Outlander developers should be the ones upset.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Honestly Capcom kind of sucks...they don't really have any games that I have/had enjoyed.

I guess game developers are seeing just how beneficial online services like XBL and PSN are.

please...with their half-ass games and overpriced DLC they were losing money from the get-go


Resident Evil 5 DLC was already on the disc yet they still charged for it.



I think alot of people and companies are frustrated and upset.  But complaining about it isnt going to make the situation any better.



Well, EA was saying it wasn't so bad for them, and I'd think they would have more stuff up on PSN... 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

I would think Capcom would have more recent launches and Capcom has a lot of DLC (while some might say useless, or already on disc), that consumers would buy. However I never really hear of people wanting to buy EA DLC, unless it is Bioware!



 

Capcom to push for more DLC as well as more DLC shotos in SSFIV to make up for lost profit:  confirmed!

Yeah but you gotta think that Capcom is a much smaller company and EA has it's finger in many more pies. Proportionately their income would be affected more.

What about THQ? It's a really small company and it's in the same situation as EA

The SSFIV third costume set bundle was due to release, but if anything this is delayed revenue surely?


In the hundreds of thousands to the millions though? Seems like a bit much, but then again, I may be underestimating how many people buy these DLC bundles.
