He's not a PR guy. He's just a game producer.

Also, he's not claiming what Capcom is going to do or what they think of the Wii (unlike that guy on the Ubisoft board). He's just stating a wrong factual opinion about game sales.

You can't speak about certain company subjects unless you have permission from the parent company. Capcom's shouldn't allow their employees to answer these kinds of questions because what they say does represent the company.

But Capcom allows these people to speak out of their asses, so it means they are in agreement with them and give their employees the liberties to talk about this subject, only because they trust them.

I'll give you an example: There's almost no employee at Nokia who is allowed to talk about the consequences that the Electromagnetic Waves emitted/received by their cell-phones have on the human body. And then, they are censured, they can't talk about the whole subject, even if they know the answer, because at the end the one in troubles will be Nokia.

The biggest issue here is the fact that although wrong by obvious numbers, the wii is building this reputation that's going to cost some important western games.

"You can't speak about certain company subjects unless you have permission from the parent company."

Sales of games based RATING, not by developer, is NOT A COMPANY SUBJECT.

But that's the problem, this false reputation is being built out of ignorant people's opinions. I'm not saying every game on the Wii will sell tons, but it's not as terrible as this guys sets it out to be.

Also, he isn't a no-one, he's a game producer, in other words an industry insider, so what he says will be taken seriously by many people, be them consumers, investors or game developers.

Capcom can not have the luxury to have such ignorant people represent them, but it's not just this guy, there's many other at Capcom and other companies as well.

Of course it is, Capcom makes games with different ratings. It would matter a lot to investors who are watching Capcom make M rated games like RE:DSC.

Besides he didnt only talk about ratings, but he also said that selling a hardcore game (contains many genres and ratings) was merely a matter of luck.

Tres, companies made this ignorant decision already (epic), or realized it's wrong already (Activision). This isn't going to sway anyone.

"Of course it is"

Bull. NPD, Media Create, and other organizations, have made game sales public.

What he DID speak about what the company thought was that this was a risk (which is obvious given it's not a proven IP). Anything else is just you insisting he's speaking for the company when he isn't.

Well, until Capcom decides to educate their employees, I would still dislike them, no matter what game they bring out.

This isn't the first time. At least Ubisoft accepted it and they are moving on. They lied at first but later accepted that they were dishonest.

Ubisoft was terribly hated by me, but now they managed a positive change and they also admitted how wrong they were. Capcom is yet to admit this.
