Capcom plans to sell 10.3 million copies of games released this f year (MvC + MHW +?)
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Monster Hunter World
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
Devil May Cry 5
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Could easily mount to 8 million if all make this financial year, and that's while under performing, which leave:
Monster Hunter XX switch
Dragon's Dogma remaster
Disney Afternoon collection
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
The Great Ace Attorney 2
And maybe Super SFV and some Switch ports
For 2.3 million, sound very reasonable! ;p

2 million tops on the PS4 for MHW.
MHW to become the best selling game in the series extremely fast confirmed.

This pulling 10 million seems like a stretch. 7 million at most.

The biggest Monster Hunter games sold a little above 4 million with most of the sales coming from Japan. Monster Hunter World is going to be lucky to sell a million in Japan and the West isn't going to pick up that much slack. For the ports, excluding Monster Hunter XX, they aren't too strong of a seller without discounts. Combined all their announced titles, I can only see 6 million assuming none significantly underperform. I can't see a single title in Capcom's library selling anywhere near 4 million aside from a main RE.

Honestly, I knew deep down inside that they probably shouldn't even bothered making it.
Marvel and Capcom just aren't the same companies they were when MVC3 was in production. Marvel's all about the MCU these days, going so far to shun and blacklist a huge chuck of their popular legacy characters just because the head of their merchandising division is some old bitter fuck who's pissy that Fox owns the movie rights to said legacy characters. And Capcom is just kind of a carcass of a company which doesn't have the budget or resources to do big AAA games anymore (besides MH World I guess). Put these together and you're left with MVC Infinite, which pretty much lacks most of the soul and charisma of previous VS games.
With the way things are now, I think it would of been better to leave well enough alone when it comes to Marvel.

It won't. And, I'd forgotten that this is the rest of the fiscal year rather than the next fiscal year. They definitely won't be selling 10m.

What most people miss is they sold 10 million last year with:
1) RE7 - 3.5 million
2) MHXX - 1.7 million
3) RE4/5 - 2 million
I'm guessing
1) MvsC - 2 million
2) MHW - 4-5 million
3) something else (RE2:R ? ) (1-2 million)
EDIT: Looks like they got a lot of smaller releases

Only other idea is the expect Monster Hunter XX to pick up a load of slack which is possible. But with the hardware scarcity there's only so many people to sell to.
It's going to be this.
RUMOR: Super Street Fighter V is happening; free update for existing owners
A lot of people are going to double due to them not buying the season pass or lost interested in the first year it came out. This would be the easiest way to get the full package including DLC Characters, Stages, and some costumes.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
The problem is Capcom always risks what they're good at and end up losing big.
Monster Hunter is a portable phenomenon in Japan? Lets risk that to make a Western focused console MH
Monster Hunter 4 is a huge success? Lets dump those profits into mobile
DMC4 is the best selling DMC yet? Lets hand a reboot off to a studio not known for good combat.
People love Resident Evil 5 and its the best selling one yet? Lets chase the CoD crowd with the next one.
Megaman has a vocal fanbase? Lets bury the franchise.
PR is important for fighting games? Lets totally botch it for SFxT and MvCI.
We have a treasure trove of beloved ips? Lets not even do budget $20-$30 titles and just ignore them.
Capcom are their own worst enemies.
4 major titles in one year would push sales way past 10m. That said, neither of those are happening this fiscal year.
This probably isn't everything they're releasing.

Still calling Marvel selling like shit.

This is doubtful even if Function vs Function Infinite wouldnt look so terrible.
And Monster Hunter alone wont sell that much.
The other things like RE Revelation etc. are all small sellers.

The only explanation that makes sense is if Capcom is releasing another Resident Evil game this fiscal year. I don't mean a mainline game but Revelations 3.
Revelatons 2 did 2.2 million so another multi-million seller is possible.

Lets be optimistic and say MHW sells 3 million and Marvel sells 2-2.5. I dont know what else they could have to reach that 10.3 million

It'll at worst probably pull SFV numers. I don't see it doing less than a million at the least.
There's just no way that could bomb like Dead Rising 4. Though who knows.
Here's the thing: I'm pretty certain Capcom's gonna use World as the basis for a portable game. That's their traditional model for Monster Hunter before the 4th generation. You make the home console game, then you make a portable version.
Even if World doesn't sell as big as a portable game, it's a chance to make a new audience, and if that doesn't work out, they can get a killer portable game from the carcass.
This rumour is fake because the leaker has been proven false on other things they leaked.

They have new Resident Evil rereleases each year, so it doesn't take much imagination.
Obviously they are soon to be releasing a full remake of Dino Crisis.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold 1.5 million units in the west. On 3DS.
I think it's safe to say that, in the west at least, MHW will sell quite well.
But I'm sure their expectations will be unattainable, as usual.
The thing about MVCI is that it might luck out with the casual/MVC audience.

Capcom been smoking that reginald. MvCI is already sub-$45 months before release.

Meanwhile at Rockstar they likely plan to sell another 10 millions copies of a game that came out in 2013...
The first REmake was made in less than 2 years iirc so they could be pretty far along if they went for the classic formula for REmake 2.
Namco's doing the DBZ Beta right before it comes out. They want to kill MVC:I dead.
And honestly? They have a good shot at it.

I don't see mvc sell more than 400k-500k at launch. Probably 1 mil shipped.
From an article from June, Hiroyuki Kobayashi said the following about REmake 2:
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/06/18/resident-evil-2-remake-out-soon/#5c6fjl5sX3K3o5xQ.99
They do have a chance to screw them over but the actual game releases are months apart and MVCI and DB fans aren't exactly one and the same.

That was a mistranslation. Can't find it but it was said in another thread.

I really don't believe that RE 2 Remake will be out before April 2018 (this is when the Capcom's FY ends, right?)
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The only way I think they can hit that target IS if they hit the panic button and announce a switch version of MHW

They have a good shot at people who are into fighting games and DBZ. They have zero shot with the kind of casual audience that exists for Marvel products.
