Forums - Gaming - Capcom blame DS and PSP for poor financial results

Capcom, what happened? There was a time I would take a bullet (or even a penis) for you. Why did it have to end like this. That is pathetic. Please go fuck yourself

Why would they underperform on the Wii? Zack and Wiki is at 500k (well, .49m mil), RE4 is at 1.77 mil and still selling. Okami even outsold the PS2 version.


And they're bringing MH3 to the Wii, and they said Spyborgs was big. I think the sales are justified enough for them to like and support the Wii. Definitely not signs of underperformance thus far and I don't see why they'd underperform later.

Well, we just have had one of their employess saying how Zack and Wiki (and Okami) did not make money. And Capcom hasn't even shipped 1.77 million copies of RE4: Wii Edition. They said they shipped 1.5 million.

i don't believe that zack and wiki lost money, unless they had terribly managed their money in making zack and wiki.  How can they need a game like zack and wiki to sell close a million to be happy with it?  Unrealistic expectations, Vgchartz has it at around 500k, the man denied it but wouldn't specify.  It can't be any less than 400k.  If that's a bomb then what is valkyrie chronicles?  Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

RE may be at 1.5 million, is that supposed to be a bad thing?  That's an incredible number.

I just realised this was not for the Q4 alone, but for nine months ending Dec 31 - well in this period Monster Hunter Portable 2G sold close to two million units.

And they have audacity to blame handhelds!



kingofwale on 05 February 2009

Capcom blaming PSP is like Nintendo blaming Mario.

In what world did Monster Hunter Portable 2G deserve what it sold?



I am telling Capcom to go and consummate themselves, I am not buying any of their games this year.

Hey, I'm just repeating his words. They are his, not mine.

You do not need to compare to a game that I like, as I'm not trashing the game.

And on RE4, I wasn't saying that it was a bad number, just a correction.

@ Soriku

I believe he also said that Okami Wii hasn't passed Okami's America sales yet.

So you never heard when capcom whined about the sales of no more heroes which isn't even their game? No more heroes is at 0.39mil and already recouped it's dev costs but that isn't enough for capcom. For one to complain about the DS which is the system with the highest userbase and cheapest dev costs is beyond me. Capcom must have the answer. A capcom console FTW...LMAO.

Well, I'm talking about WW sales...

And I believe that he said Okami Wii's worldwide sales has not passed Okami PS2's sales in America yet.

You know when capcom numbers were actually thrown at him, he changed what he said earlier from calling Okami a bomb to Okami is moderately sucessful.

I think he just a tool.
