After seeing these numbers, I'm unsure of two things:
1. How did Capcom get is such a financially fragile state? Monster Hunter has been raking it in now on both the PSP and 3DS, last gen RE games sold pretty well, and SFIV must made them a quite a bit of money across arcade, home consoles and 3DS (which was the 3DS' first million seller iirc). I know GRIN's Bionic Commando, and Dark Void probably lost money overall, but those alone don't explain how Capcom got in the shit.
2. Why aren't there more Hunting-Action games on 3DS? MH3G was announced in September 2011, released later that year and clearly showed that the market was there. Surely there is a gap in the market for games similar to MH on the 3DS in the period between MH launches?
1. The thing about MH compared to a lot of other Capcom games: it's lower cost to make and brings a lot of money.
2. I kind of agree that when you play MH there is no other. I like God Eater, but it's noticeably lacking in comparison. And people compare Phantasy Star but I don't think it scratches the same itch at all. Most Monster Hunter like games don't sell that well.
