I find it interesting that the biggest games from Capcom that have been announced yet aren't going to the Ps3 at all. Monster Hunter 3 and Lost Planet 2. x.o

Something has to be big. No other reason why they'd expect some much from it!

Perhaps Devil May Cry is going back to Sony exclusive land again...

Either that or another Street Fighter. I can't think of another big Capcom franchise they that would expect PS3 > 360 sales in.

Onimusha? Megaman? Dino Crisis?

This is really odd... If lost planet 2 follow in the foot-step of its predecessor, it should be a million seller on the 360. Capcom games tend to lean slightly towards PS3 but the presence of Lost Planet 2 should make things even if not leaning slightly towards the 360.

What games are they hiding with a potential to turn the tide? There is simply no big franchise left to exploit in the short term that I can think of...




Well if it's fiscal 2009-2010 there are going some Re5 sales in those numbers.
Probably at least a million if you combine both platforms.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Geeh, i tought MH3 alone could 2 miljoen sales in Japan alone. If Capcom doesn't believe it, then probaly not. Of course they could be very conservative in their expectations. It wil be interesting to see how it does.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

According to the table, it's not likely really a fiancial year, seems from March to Feb, so it may highly possible include the RE5 sales.
While it still cannot explain the low number of WII software expection.

Lead development on the PS3, perhaps?



10 new ps3 games sounds good hopefully Devil may cry 5 will be one of them.



 

they expect less than 12M sales of software over 30 games O.o

if data is 2009 : we have RE+SF to take out of 9.4M of sales for 11 games (merging for MP) ... that means 3.8 and 2.2 respectively... so the remainder 9 games sell 3.4 millions.

if data is 2010 : we have MH3 and REDC to take out of 2.2 M sales for 14 games.... that means about 1M + well UC sold 1.2 so 1M.... so the rainder 12 games sell 200K...

so to sum up, a capcom game needs to sell 400K on HD consoles or 15K on Wii to be profitable....



Something just doesn't fit with this article.....

even if you don't do assumptions...

Wii 14 games 2.2M = 157K average... how can companies loose money???



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Hmm maybe they are counting stuff like Flock, 1942, etc into the numbers ? And in reality this will be 2-3 big games plus bunch of downloads.

They are not, which is why need to transfer just about the entire game to HDD just to play RE / DMC etc, Capcom is notorious for this.
