Rev2 deserves so much more. Can't get enough of that game.
Hopefully REmake's sales are enough for capcom to give us RE0 soon.

Hey capcom you might get that monster hunter up to 5 million if you didn't have it on a 3ds only
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd actually came close to 5 million; it sold 4.8 million copies, and it was on PSP only.

Their sports game. PowaPro is their biggest hit currently.

my point was to never just have it on a nintendo console when both of you are scrambling for uptake
A list like this comes eerily close to Konami's console/PC output for the last years in terms of big games (with just 2/3 IP's that sell well enough to keep being continued: Metal Gear, PES and - hopefully - Castlevania or Silent Hill), and we know where that is leaving Konami at the moment.
I can only hope Capcom won't eventually fall into such a 3/4 IP path for console/PC games with Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Dead Rising and Street Fighter being the only franchises they release on consoles (especially if Dragon's Dogma, Deep Down and Devil May Cry fail to reach their targets, and assuming the Lost Planet IP is already considered dead). However tempting it might be from a "reduce risk, maximize profit" perspective, it would mean the end of any sort of diversification of their AA(A) output and a such of their ability to reach a greater variety of people.
(While perhaps naive, I still feel the Mega Man IP could make a succesful comeback as a colorful, family oriented action game that caters to the same audience as Mario Kart, Splatoon or the Lego games. I have no clue why Capcom isn't trying at least something with this still well loved character in order to reach a broader audience, or asking Nintendo to use him at least?)
Between all the different versions SFIV has sold over 8 million. (although that is obviously devided between a bunch of ports, Super, Ultra etc.)
SFV should be able to break 2 million easy.
I'm sure they are. Revelations 2 sold more than they planned, and REmake was their fastest selling digital title. They did a decent amount of work on REmake but essentially it's still a port so I'm sure that broke even with even a fraction of those sales.
Only full seasons I think.
Better than planned? Good. Hopefully they'll start to spread out and re-release some of the older Resident Evil games on PC, I'm sure CVX HD would be easy enough to do.
So Capcom is seeing decreasing success in the pachislo field while Konami is seeing increased growth.
RE0 HD is probably next.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Erm what, more like getting games onto that 3DS.

Capcom, would it hurt you so much if you gave us a next-gen Onimusha?

You might have a point if the Vita already have a title that sold 1 million copies worldwide at this point of time.

Sucks for Capcom Vancouver then. I know at one point they were trying to make a new IP. Guess that got closed up for more DR.

sale strats for SFV? or did they leave it out?
There's this fickle thing that known as "series fatigue"
The Revelations figure is for the HD version only. Including the 3DS one should bring it over 2 million.

Usually the upgraded versions sold even better than the initial ones, but with MH4U there was actually a big drop from MH4 in Japan.
I belive that p3rd is considered to be the best of the series in terms of monsters and maps. Most of the 4th gen maps and monsters are honestly quite dull.
eh, wasn't the vanilla SF 4 around 3 million on the 360 and ps3. So I don't think 2 million is unreasonable.
I really wish I got to play P3rd man.
I fucking LOVED 3 Ultimate on Wii U but P3rd always sounded so much better to me. Fucking hate underwater fights. Too bad Sony fucked up and blocked the release of MHP3rd HD to US. Console/PC is the only way I touch the series.
Wait. When was this?

I'm glad for both games. I'll gladly take a new Revelations season over the inevitable clusterfuck that's gonna be RE7.

If you don't mind emulation PPSSPP plays Portable 3rd great at 1080p, it's as good looking as Monster Hunter 3 on Wii U (it's actually the ps3 1080p game which works on the psp emu). It's patched in English too and works online.
Revelations 1 should also be well over 2m if you include 3DS. We never got a final shipment figure for it but given the known JP/US sellthrough it's probably 800k+ territory.
They ditched Lagia-bros and Narga-bros and give us YIAN GARUGA and Khezus instead, of course MH4U will bound to sell less.
I don't know if this monster availability thing could actually affect sells that high. Safer bet is that this is the inevitable series fatigue. Japan have dabbled with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G while the West only really caught it recently.
Gonna have to try it out. Last time I tried PPSSPP it was kinda crappy but maybe they updated it by now.
Definitely better than settling for Toukiden on PS4
I already destroyed G rank, pooped on Lucent Narga and beat Ivy enough times I never wanna fight him again
Why even bother? There's no G Rank, Lucent Nargacuga, and Ivory Lagiacrus. It's just poor man's Mh3U at this point.
Resident Evil Revelations doesn't include 3DS.
Just home systems and PC.
I hope it continue to grow in the west since MH is shrinking in its own homeland.
It's not really growing though.
Increases in US and EU aren't enough to offset JP losses.
I don't get it either, can someone explain? Is Europe becomming a "download-only" territory for Capcom?There is a big problem here... annual shipment for Europe... 300K ?! Versus 1.2 million for US and 4.3 million for Japan.
Would that mean that Street Fighter V would be out before april 2016 in US, but not in Europe ?

All the DC games sold well and in the millions list. How come capcom never released a sequel for that? Man.....This was the time. With Jurassic park coming out DIno craze was back again. Capcom missed another good opportunity IMO.
DC sold 2.4m, DC2 sold 1.2m. DC3 and Dino Stalker did even less as total sales for the franchise is about 4.4m. Sales were on the decline and DC3 got a poor reception. It's not hard to see why they dropped the series, but they only have themselves to blame considering how misguided of an effort DC3 was.
Revelations 2 is a budget title that was distributed mostly digitally. Sales expectations were probably on the low end.

DC3 is on capcom. They fudged it up. They gotta do some HD remaster RE 1 style for current gen console of DC 1. And test the waters. I am sure DC1 will sell as well RE1 HD or maybe more. Lot of people new gamers never got the chance to play DC so it will be a great experience for them as it was for me I am sure of that.
