it doesnt strike me as smart when they ignore the PS4 and its 40 million install base. again, look at how that worked for tomb raider. |
Why in the world are you mentioning Tomb Raider when there is Dead Rising 3? It worked out well for them.
Also, this could actually just mean that it's exclusive to Windows 10 store for 1 year with Steam later.

because Tomb Raider is a prime example of how limiting your install base can hurt sales.
i thought this was releasing on steam this year? if so, then thats even more stupid. Windows 10 store is dead. 98% of Tomb Raider sales were on steam, with just 2 percent on windows 10 store.
if capcom are releasing this just on XB1/win10 store then they are morons, ignoring the 2 biggest install bases the game could cater to will never make sense to me.

Short term gains is all great for, well, the short term. But surely it's better for them to invest on all platforms for the long term. It's actions like this that will keep them in a rut.
We don't even know what MS paid the exclusivity but I bet it doesn't cover the potential sales on other platforms plus the damage to the franchise caused to exclusivity.
They've fucked up Street Fighter releasing half a game and now they are reducing the Dead Rising fan base and stunting growth.
so youre saying its a timed exclusive for xbox with the PC version coming out later or are you saying its a timed exclusive with PS4 coming out later???

Just like with Tomb Raider, no-one is gonna care if this arrives on PS4 super-late.
It's a real shame. I had no interest in the Dead Rising franchise until DR2 came to PS3, which I played and love. Then the sequel was XB1 exclusive and now the next game still.
I guess I'll pick them up on PC one day.

All is not lost yet
Seriously though it would be a stupid move to just limit it to a single store and OS for Capcom, even if MS is pubbing it, the one time fee wouldn't cover nor make up for the lost bases they originally cover.

lol? and yet Dead Rising 3 is an example for them showing good sales. Which do you think they would look at? Let me give you a hit, it's not Tomb Raider.
It's also so confusing, even if it was exclusive to Windows 10 store for 1 year, I'm sure Microsoft still would have said "Xbox One and Windows 10 Exclusive" in the conference, yet they didn't. So it could mean PS4, just so confusing.

You do know that's not how it works right? You think if they could fund their own games, they wouldn't be? Do you even know what invest means? It means you need money. And how exactly are they going to invest with no money? They took Microsoft's money, and then "invested" in the game.
