Onimusha please.
To be fair to Capcom, I'm sure most publishers have these kind of broad minimum sales expectations in place. It is sad though that a lot of great brands might wither and die because Capcom management and marketing is so frigging poor.
So who do I have to blow to make Dragon's Dogma 2 a reality?
Regardless of all that i still believe that Dragon's Dogma 2 is coming. They have invested way too much in the first game to simply let the IP die.
Also as someone else said the combined sales of the vanilla and DA versions exceed 2 million.
i think nintendo should ask for a collaboration here..there are really good franchise at risk to go to waste,and the wii U needs more third party games.
problem will of course be sales,but if the wii U stays like it is now,they are gonna lose money anyway
Nintendo needs to outright buy the company and take over management.

I may be wrong here, but I believe Nintendo is only interested in IPs that have an instantly recognizable character (the "face" of the IP). DD has none, and I'm sure Grigori doesn't count.Nintendo.
The last thing Nintendo need is more IPs. They have plenty of enough and a lot of underused ones.This. So much this. Nintendo would benefit immensely from Capcom's stable of IPs (especially the 'mature' ones), and would probably focus more on mid-tier budget titles.
Granted, on the flipside, we'll likely never get Capcom titles on PC ever again, but that's a small price to pay for getting the company back on track, methinks.
Capcom would make a good first party PlayStation developer as well.This. So much this. Nintendo would benefit immensely from Capcom's stable of IPs (especially the 'mature' ones), and would probably focus more on mid-tier budget titles.

If anything, Capcom's management seems to be more up-to-date than Nintendo's.

The traditional mid-tier model is deader than dead, a change in management isn't going to magically revive a bankrupt business model. You need to either go AAA or abandon retail in favor of, economically efficient, digital releases, F2P projects and episodic games.

There'll be a Sony/Capcom project within the next 2 years or so. That's something at least. There are other ways to take advantage of what is available.While I do think Sony needs a better Japan development arm, Sony is broke breh.
To be fair, I do think certain companies do have the right idea in going mobile, Sega for instance... Yes, they aren't really pleasing fans of Sega in general, but their expansion into PC and Mobile with bought IPs seem to be working out for them. Sega's not going to bring any more Yakuza games to the West or make new Shenmue games because the costs to do so can't be justified and Sega gave them a fair shot.
So how does Capcom greenlight an new AAA game IP? Or are they done with those?
The mid-tier is only 'bankrupt' because nobody's doing it. And with the AAA model becoming increasingly unsustainable, somebody outside of PC devs will have to go back to it sooner or later.
Besides, it's not entirely dead. Nintendo is damn well proof of that. Oh, and Dark Souls, as was noted in a Jimquisition linked earlier, and probably Platinum. You don't need to break the bank to create amazing games that people want to buy.
And I personally classify economical digital releases and episodic games along the lines of mid-tier anyway (not F2P, though).
Nintendo.
I thought the decision for a sequel would be related to their Metacritic score? Not the amount they sold?!

So that means DD2 is unlikely.....
