Surprised 3DS went up after getting their fingers burnt with SSFIV3D, not surprised by the rest though.


In what possible way did they get their fingers burnt?  Being the first to shift a million copies of a game, with a port of all things?

 

Bet they regret that lump of money they made!

Shipped one mill, about 350k sold to retail after 3 months,  doublt it'll get another shipment, which likely isn't what Capcom were expecting given they shipped 1 mill in the first place ...

2 months for the main regions, and for a port of a year old game that is an update of a 2 year old game that both sold well on both HD platforms and is getting yet another HD platform release as well as PC all of which are far superior to the 3DS version, 1 million is probably a great number.

 

It doesn't change the fact it sold well under what they expected, hence why I'm surprised it hasn't impacted their forecasts.



 

They can't do DLC on Wii or 3DS, that's the problem. They ship games with locked content on the disc then the consumer has to pay even more money if they want it

Wow, this is absolutely pathetic. It's literally enraging to me. Never will I understand the disdain for third party support for Wii, especially considering it is on track to being the best selling console of all time. What a backwards world we live in :/

No.

By that he means launch aligned position, not that it'll actually become the best selling, I'd presume.

What did they do to Twisted Pixel? ;-S



 

I wasn't aware they had Wii support period?

Though their 3DS lineup seems robust enough to me...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

well Wii support wouldn't really be worth it, sales were never great for third parties before and with a successor coming out, it would of probably killed legs

3DS games being cancelled is a bit odd, but perhaps they're merely on hold until the 3DS's sales pick up

twisted pixel pitched the game to capcom and capcom didnt want anything to do with it...capcom saw how well it was recieved...so they stuck a tail on splosion man and then released it on mobile devices...
