"Typical" AAA models are risky .
I don't get it, people keep talking about DmC and Dead Rising but neither is a AAA title, not by a long shot.

They have been losing money for years, and a crap ton of it at that. Capcom pumped cash in to 5 cancelled Megaman games (all within the past 14 years), and not just a little bit of money either. They also stayed away from HD development because it's too expensive. Which according to my friend who knows a lot about the Monster Hunter series "MH isn't on sony anymore because capcom didn't want to pay them more money to fix graphics cuz capcom is lazy." Pretty much shows how much Capcom actually cares about it's franchises. Without Microsoft you wouldnt have seen Dead Rising 3, without Nintendo, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate wouldn't make it's trip around the world. Pretty much Capcom is a prostitute, once you give it money, it'll do whatever you want.
Well, good luck capcom. This mean no more devil may cry since the last one didn't sell that much.

Don't see a monster hunter console version coming out any time soon. Costs more to make and sells less than the handheld version. A quick and dirty wiiu port of monster hunter 4 would be the most likely and even then I don't see it happening.

... he just told you they made profit every year for 11 years. How does that translate into "they have been losing money for years".
Think of the budgets they put into these games, selling 2 million for a game that cost 50+ millions is probably the result of some cost/risk calculation they made in some high level meetings.

Just an informal FYI, it is believed by various sales analysts that physical games make around 1/4 of their sale price back to the publisher. So it would be $40 million if Capcom is talking about 2 million launch sales.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
