Looks good now.   Nice job bringing some numbers to the discussion.   My suspicion is that a QR in videogame development above 1.5 is adequate and that they fluctuate quite a bit.  The main expenses would be game development labor I would think.  Revenue is notoriously spiked at game release while expenses build relatively evenly throughout a game's development cycle.  Assuming they don't have a lot of debt covenants that get broken and send them into a death spiral CAPCOM should be fine.  Revenue from MH4 starts hitting now while all but the marketing expenses were being spent over the last few years.   Presumably they keep labor expenses relatively even so it was low due to meh revenue performance of RE and DMC.  It probably jumps up quite a bit this quarter.    The main risk for these companies is a big flop or 2 back-to-back since the fixed costs of developing and releasing a game are huge.  It would be interesting to see how the QR changes over the next while for them and others like UbiSoft who have had some big misses lately.

I think they'd merge or be bought by Nintendo before something like that ever happened.

They still have Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter which sell enough to keep them afloat as long as they don't go overboard with the budget.

I would accept it if you could answer my question. But you can't because its not true. I mentioned other companies that have done what you have said, Sony was not one of them. So how about you stop dodging and back up your opinion with some evidance?

Monster Hunter with Monolith and Viewtiful Joe with Platinum. The rest can burn.

Ideas/discussion. Alas...

I would rather like you to elaborate on that.

man koei was so awesome back in the days with nobunagas ambitions and romance of the three kingdoms back then, its sad they completly changed and stop making games like that.
because of them i read romance of the three kingdoms

I agree with most of your choices but DMC should go to Platinum Games and Marvel vs Capcom should go to Namco. 

Well... From 2005-2013 there have been 8 GOW games.  That's not including collections.  Counting three collections, you get 10 in 8 years. 

Including Karting, we've had 5 LBP games since 2008.  So 5 in 5 years. 

Uncharted has seen 5 games over 5 years including Fight for Fortune.

Infamous will see its 3rd entry in just over 4 years.

Once Into the Nexus hits, we'll have had 9 Ratchet and Clank games (including collections) since 2007.  So, there you go.  9 in 6 years.  Don't know why Sony felt the need to make so many Ratchet games, but there you have it.

They're certainly not as bad as other companies, but Sony definitely isn't afraid to produce a lot of sequels in quick succession when they think it will make them money.  They're trending towards yearly releases, but they're probably held back by the fact that their franchises don't have the strong fanbases to make that sustainable.
