I don't think they're going to go bankrupt tomorrow, but Capcom is on my list of big endangered gaming companies for the 8th gen. Consider the following pros and cons in their favor.

Pros
*Monster Hunter is not letting down. MH4 is looking to be at least as big a phenomenon as the MH3 "series" was from 2009 to 2012. This is already Capcom's biggest franchise in Japan, and I believe it can become bigger worldwide. In any case, considering how the Japanese sales of MH4 outsold ALL Resident Evil 4 sales on the GameCube worldwide LTD, this is probably their strong point at the moment.
*Dragon's Dogma, though not as huge, is another relatively new series that is probably making Capcom money, with about 2 million sales retail so far.
*Dead Rising is probably getting support from Capcom, and the two current entries each sold about 2 million. I think 3 will do alright, though if the XBone does poorly, it will hurt.
*Fighting games are still a reliable cash cow, though not one to treat poorly (Street Fighter X Tekken). Still, considering how these are 2.5D games in small environments, I'm sure Street Fighter 5 in 60 FPS for the PS4 and XBone will do alright.

Cons
*Resident Evil took some serious damage as a brand in 2012, between Raccoon City and RE6. Revelations probably broke even, but RE7 is going to either need a smaller budget than 6 or will likely bankrupt the company. Considering how even the recent RE5 sold 8 million at retail, this series is too important to let go, yet too expensive to make a new main entry in.
*Devil May Cry is in trouble after the recent DmC. Capcom's best bet is to make Devil May Cry 5, but with the original team scattered in the wind (and in Platinum making Bayonetta 2), this could be hard to pull off. At this point, abandoning ship might be the best route.
*Lost Planet is deader than Disco.
*Deep Down looks expensive, yet has the notorious free to play model. This can end well or very badly.

Conclusion: Capcom is at risk, though not as much as THQ was a few years ago. They need to make smart decisions and plan projects more wisely than other companies. Furthermore, they should stop greenlighting projects that isolate their fanbase, such as the umpteenth Street Fighter 4 version, DmC, and RE6.

The worst is likely over for Sony's video games brand, if only because their R&D costs for the PS4 will finally pay off. That said, Sony's music division is likely to drain resources until they get rid of it, and Sony has had some film flops this year (White House Down, Smurfs 2, After Earth, etc.).

So basically, in the doom scale, Nintendo leads with standard doom, followed by Capcom with reasonable doom, followed by Sony who has doom potential but not in the immediate future, followed by Nintendo, who is actually not doomed, followed by PlayStation, which is the strongest gaming brand in the world ATM.

I think.

If they were going to go bankrupt this would be very bad, thats a lot of people who lose their jobs. Regardless of what people think about them and their dlc policies they do release some good games and they have a legacy. Thoug I doubt they would go bankrupt.

That's what I thought too.

Sure you can. A bunch of investors in Sony tried to do so a little while ago. And even if Sony as a whole went under, some big company could buy the PlayStation portion of the company and life would go on.

After Monster Hunter? I ain't worried.

They wont be going down, but they are an atractive aquisition at this point.

I bet MH4 made them a ton of money though, and they still have resident evil and street fighter. Unfortunely, they messed up everything else. I guess Ace attourney still makes them some loose change aswell.
But it was clear they didnt have money in the last few months with all those games they made that bombed and Ono not having money to do anything but a new version of SF4 over a year and a half.

I hope that MH4 money gets puts to good use. And no i dont think making mobile games is the way out... unless they are thinking of really becoming a small developer. I can see them becoming as small as konami, with a trio of good selling series (MH, SF and RE). Hopefully they dont mess all of them up like Konami messed Silent Hill and in part castlevania. Konami is a one game company for the most part (MGS), but at least they still have the genious of kojima. Capcom let all talented producers go aside from Ono.

I felt really depressed when I realised how true this is.
