Capcom's RE6 Sales Expectation

[aris13]

And we should congratulate Capcom for that... and also for lowering their expectations for Dragon Dogma (10 million, really?)

[Pikminister]

Yeah, like I said, they lowered their lofty expectations:

Capcom is hoping to sell 10 million copies of forthcoming fantasy RPG Dragon's Dogma, according to producer Hideaki Itsuno.

[aris13]

That's what Itsuno the director hoped, it's not the official projection.

That's what Itsuno the director hoped, it's not the official projection.

The director had the king size balls to feel like speaking for Capcom when he said in a very public interview:

we really want this game to sell ten million units worldwide. We want to sell a lot, and that's just something that we think we can do. We're not positive [it will be a success]. Of course it's a risk, but that's what we want

And I said we should congratulate them for lowering their lofty expectations. Somehow you have a problem with that.

Why?

[aris13]

Well he shouldn't have said that since Capcom never had such high expectations from the title. 1.5 mil was since last year the official projection.

Well he said it. It's not like he dug a hole on the ground and yelled into it. What he said was pretty damn public.

And the previous projections were changed because many games would come out too late or after the current fiscal year (it ends this month).

The projection for DD never changed. 1.5 was always the goal.

For what market? Because Capcom expected to sell a million of them just in Japan.

"Want" is a lot different from "expect". Every developer wants their game to sell 10 million units.

You weren't talking about pre-orders in your other post.

Again, you were saying that maybe we could expect RE6 to hit the mark based on how much RE5 sold before. Thus why I asked (with a ton of sarcasm) if by using the same logic, we could then expect Lost Planet 3 to sell like the previous ones did (or better).

Anyway, RE6 will sell good enough. Not sure if it will have long sexy legs to reach 7 million with so many stuff coming our way after E3.

I think you're confusing me with someone else XD
Either way preorders are already high for 6 so the potential is there. Plus the game looks miles ahead of both 4 and 5.

LOL Shit, I did... I got you confused with aris13.

Gah!... whatever. RE6 will be the best selling game Capcom puts out this year. We agree with that one.

I think.

[Dracarys]

If it gets those numbers it'll the best selling game Capcom put out ever.

[rehunk88]

I bet Capcom love people like you. Fuck me in the arse, Capcom! Make me pay for it too!

Except you can't achieve orgasm without paying extra for the DLC.

If you are so against capcom and the way they do (dlc sales) why are you still sticking around ? move on man.

[Darkmoon]

You can like a game (or the older games) and not be fond of Capcom's business policy (or the new games). Forum membership doesn't expire if you don't like the latest game - otherwise the forum would have collapsed between Mercenaries and ORC.

[rehunk88]

Whats the point then ? ( ooh i hate everything about capcom ( but im still gonna stick around) makes no sense XD

[Darkmoon]

Well, unless I'm mistaken, the games before RE4 did not evaporate when it was released. People still like to talk about them.

Then there's the thin hope RE6 might have some horror in it, being a horror series and all.

And then you get the odd gem, like Revelations from what I've seen, that makes remaining a fan worthwhile.

And if all else fails, you can always bitch.

[Wrathborne]

On stand by for bitching, sir!

[rehunk88]

Well of course you guys can bitch all you want while the rest of us enjoys it :3

Stop trying to reason with the Outbreak psycho.
