Capcom profits rise 290 percent off Dragon's Dogma and Resident Evil

The famed developer of Street Fighter, Lost Planet, and Resident Evilthat they've had an incredible fiscal quarter, raking in the profits from hits like澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon's Dogmaand Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Unfortunately, Dragon's Dogma didn☂'t sell very well in the United States. However, a very strong showing in Japan helped boost the title into platinum territory, selling over one million coꦫpies.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City was no slouch either, moving just 450,000 copies despite 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:highly negative reviews. Even in light of the supremely negat♊ive critical reaction to RE: ORC, it's surprising 🍒to see a brand new IP so thoroughly trounce an established series.

It seems like Capcom has a bright future ahead of them. They've s🌟tated that Dragon's Dogma is now an established series, adding another pillar to their already healthy line-up. And with Resi🦂dent Evil 6 coming up on the horizon on October 6, 2012 these strong sales are very likely to continue. Who knows, maybe they'll even have the resources to put out Street Fighter 5 before the decade is out.

Let's just hope that Capcom sold enough copi☂es of Dragon's Dogma 🙈in the West to warrant giving it another try with the sequel.
