Interesting Capcom Numbers, plus 18 titles canned across the board.

[Shadow_Link]

A few numbers they revealed:

System/Title/Sold/Plan

(Numbers are worldwide numbers)

PS2 Devil May Cry 2 1,400,000 (plan: 1,660,000) 84%
PS2 Clock Tower 3 250,000 (plan: 450,000) 56%
GCN Biohazard 0 1,120,000 (plan: 1,420,000) 79%
GBA lock MANEGUZE 850,000 (plan: 500,000) 170%

On top of that, they reveal they have stopped production on 18 out of 100 titles in development (10 of which the article says was on the GBA). I know the 100 number sounds ridiculous, but that's what the article states.

And people thought the sales for RE 0 on the GC were bad? I think that's Capcom title number two that's hit 1+ million on the Cube. And comparing how DMC2 sold 1.4 million on a console with a userbase of around 45+ million to RE0 (1.2 Million), which is on a system with a userbase of 9.4 Million, I reckon the exclusivity of the RE 0/4 to the GC will not be broken (Capcom have also denied rumours about RE 0/4 going to other consoles).

Does anyone know what 'lock MANEGUZE' for the GBA is? It seems to be the only game that surpassed expectations. And seeing as how well this GBA game sold (don't know about how others have), why have they cancelled 10 GBA games in development? I wonder what the other 8 are...

Got no idea wot that GBA game is all about

Interesting figures there. It doesn't suprise me though. I don't think Capcom is that good a developer compared to some others. Games like DMC/Onimusha I don't like. I haven't tried PN03 or Viewful Joe yet, but I'm not gonna buy them until I've played them a bit for myself

They should make more fighting games!

I was thinking about buying Clock Tower 3. Is it as good as the first one? The second sucked because they got rid of the scissor man

How in the world can they be dis-satisfied with a million seller? Maybe on the PS2, but a million copies on the cube is quite swell I recon.

The rumors weren't that RE0/4 would go to other consoles, the rumors were that RE games AFTER RE4 could be going to other consoles...

And I coulda sworn I heard that it's true... Or at least Capcom hasn't denied it yet... They DID say that RE4 is still NGC exclusive...

Anyways ehhh... Neat...

You forgot to mention that overall capcom lost like a gazillion Yen or something... I think...

Capcom did deny the lastest rumors which are actually a few weeks old, or at least week and a half. I dont know if you are speaking of the same rumors, but it was about RE4 and the other 4.

[Rndm_Perfection]

I've said it elsewhere, but if Capcom were to expand upon the Marvel vs. Capcom engine and make a DBZ fighter, then I can all but imagine the sales they'd make considering what a lousy attempt such as Bodukai had made.

I read that that the sequel to steel battalion was cancelled.

... (^-^

And what are the other 4? The other 4 of the 'Capcom 5'? I heard that they never actually said those were 100% exclusive to NGC and that they could come to PS2 or Xbox later... Now I dunno about that fo sho, THOSE rumors might have been shot down, but when Capcom commented about the RE rumor all they said is that RE4 is staying exclusive... Which doesn't mean that games after RE4 won't go to PS2/Xbox...
