Capcom may delay other titles
Last week, Capcom stated that three of their titles would be delayed to the next fiscal year. However, the company may be prepared to shift the release dates of other titles as well. Capcom has put up their most recent investor Q&A and said that they may not be able to ship all of their titles scheduled for the next fiscal year. Basically, there will be a backup as a result of delaying the launches of Monster Hunter 3 (overseas release), Lost Planet 2, and Super Street Fighter IV.
“The main reason is our outlook for a sales recovery in the home video games business. However, due to the delay in the launch of titles originally scheduled for this fiscal year, we may not introduce all of the titles that are planned for the next fiscal year. Consequently, we will have to reexamine the title lineup in the next fiscal year and afterward from the standpoint of achieving sustained growth. In addition, we believe that the online game business will be another major source of growth in sales and earnings.”
