Here's what we know so far:

1.) They intend to ship 2 million copies of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
2.) This does not include catalog sales of games like Resident Evil 7.
3.) They intend to ship an unspecified amount of Monster Hunter World.
4.) Their other announced new titles are the Disney Afternoon collection, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, The Great Ace Attorney 2, the Monster Hunter XX Switch port, the Dragon's Dogma remaster on consoles, and Ultra Street Fighter II. None of these were listed in their list of titles expected to sell more than a million units.
5.) Given there were no other blank spaces in the million plus seller list, I'm guessing they expect Monster Hunter World to ship 5-6+ million? At least 4 million?

Feel free to guess how they intend to do this.

Riiiiiiiiight...

Even if they sell an unfinished game at full price and then charge customers again to finish it they won't make that kind of money.

CharminUltra · Jul 28, 2017

f this company

J/k, I just wanted to make the joke.

I know they said they weren't going to, but if they bring XX to the west, I'll help them with their goal.

*Switch XX, just to clarify

Edge_Maverick · Jul 28, 2017

Good luck.

They are expecting multiple millions for MHW definitely. Question is if it's some insanely unrealistic amount like 5 million.

Capcom management never fails to screw itself

Ray Down · Jul 28, 2017

Gotdatmoney · Jul 28, 2017

That sounds not at all delusional

enixbelmont · Jul 28, 2017

Seems kinda doable? With Disney Aftertoon, Megaman Legacy, Revelations 1 remaster, USF2 on switch, and 4-5 million for monster hunter world alone. If they have one other big title(resident evil revelations 3, maybe? DMC5?) then they could do it.

Platy · Jul 28, 2017

Smash Bros style game with low poly models and cell shading focusing on casuals but with lots of stuff to draw the pro players in ?
For Switch, PS4 and non external DRM Steam

In other words, the basic opposite of SF5

5 million would have MHW beating Portable 3rd, LOL.

Guymelef · Jul 28, 2017

They don't learn...

Jawmuncher · Jul 28, 2017

DMC 5 alone would not pull 5 million copies.
(Since MHW and MVCI would be the first 5

So it has to be two titles.

Kenzodielocke · Jul 28, 2017

How about no.

Anth0ny · Jul 28, 2017

adorable

marvel is going to fucking bomb and it's all their fault. shout out to marvel as well for being assholes re: x-men and fastastic 4

mrmickfran · Jul 28, 2017

Monster Hunter will be big, but not that big.

Marvel vs Capcom... lol

Maybe they have something big to announce at TGS or PSX? Nah, they probably would have announced it at E3.

grandjedi6 · Jul 28, 2017

They must expect Monster Hunter World to do Japanese level sales worldwide.

Given their financial release, I believe there are no other unannounced 1+ million sellers expected for this fiscal year, suggesting they expect Monster Hunter World to be like a 5-6+ million seller.

They're counting all the small releases, too, right? I don't think 2-3 million combined for MM legacy, Rev 1 remaster, USF2, Dragons dogma remaster etc is unreasonable. We know they expect 2 mil for MVCI.

DMONKUMA · Jul 28, 2017

What other title would be up able to help with that goal? I'm drawing a blank.

Dinda · Jul 28, 2017

Dragon's Dogma 2....It's coming.

liquidtmd · Jul 28, 2017

Unless they announce the launch of REMake2 at TGS for January 2018, then lol

Be surprised if Infinite does 1.2 million

Sesha · Jul 28, 2017

Before there's many more posts about how delusional Capcom is, keep in mind they managed to sell 10.6m copies this year.

DR2K · Jul 28, 2017

MVCi will struggle to hit even 1 million.

Good luck. I can't see how'd they'd think they'd pull it off with the current PS4 user base in Japan. They'd want practically everyone to buy a copy that owns a PS4

bold prediction: they won't reach that goal.

SFV and MvsC were announced at PSX, not E3, you can bet this PSX will have another Capcom title.

MatrixMan.EXE · Jul 28, 2017

I think between MHW and MvC they can hit 7-8m. Not sure where the extra 2-3m is going to come from though

enixbelmont · Jul 28, 2017

DMONKUMA said:

Small titles - 2 mil
DMC5 - 2 mil
Monster hunter world - 4 mil
MVCI - 2 mil

Reasonable if optimistic, IMO

katsubento · Jul 28, 2017

Why do they always set pretty high sales numbers?

They aren't the only ones too.

forknknife · Jul 28, 2017

This fucking year?

Bronetta · Jul 28, 2017

Does the Western market even care about Monster Hunter? I dont see that game doing over 2 million.

LordRaptor · Jul 28, 2017

BitStyle said:

I would speculate their thinking is something like 4 million, of which 1 million PS4 JP, 1 million apiece for NA / EU PS4, X1, PC which on the face of it doesn't sound ludicrous.

Which would leave 4 million as a remaining target which could be a single title they have huge faith in (although I have no idea what that might be) or (more likely) a couple of unannounced titles they expect to do MvC:I numbers - maybe a Lost Planet reboot, maybe another Dead Rising, maybe a new Disney franchised game now they've tested the waters with the collection, maybe something people would want to see return like a MegaMan, DarkStalkers or Dino Crisis

NinjaCoachZ · Jul 28, 2017

MVCI is honestly shaping up like it'll be lucky to have a 2m ceiling.

wapplew · Jul 28, 2017

REmake 2 could do 3M.

Xater · Jul 28, 2017

Taking bets now for MvC: Infinite not hitting this target.

JayEH · Jul 28, 2017

Capcpom pls.

But those didn't release in the following fiscal year. I don't think they would have a December announcement -> February/March release anyways.

Capcom consistently missing sales targets isnt a huge revelaiton.

The whole point of this game is to bring Monster Hunter to the western market.

It will almost certainly do over 2 million (Tri did almost 2 million), but there's no way it's clearing Portable 3rd numbers.

Oh it definitely won't

JCHandsom · Jul 28, 2017

They caught some of Squre Enix's hubris

Jawmuncher · Jul 28, 2017

Maybe Revelations HD can do a million like RE6? I highly doubt that though considering even RE4 and RE5 haven't pulled that off yet.

DriftingSpirit · Jul 28, 2017

It seems they expect DMC5 to do quite well than.

Guymelef · Jul 28, 2017

It can underperform if you compare to previous titles because Japan. But at the same time I can see it selling a lot more than portable versions on westerns markets.

Sesha · Jul 28, 2017

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
