Capcom has high forecasts for Ace Attorney 5, “AAI2 isn’t being held hostage”
Ace Attorney 5 is coming to North America and Europe. What does that mean for Ace Attorney Investigations 2?
Capcom’s Christian Svensson acknowledged that strong sales of AA5 “certainly can’t hurt” the possibility of AA2 localization. He also said that higher sales for upcoming game compared to the company’s internal forecasts would help the franchise.
Svensson went on to speak about the “aggressive” forecasts for Ace Attorney 5.
“AAI2 isn’t being held hostage so please don’t read this that way but if they do well, they certainly can’t hurt. Justification for higher forecasts via stronger than expected sales in the franchise would be helpful.
“Bear in mind… the forecasts for AA5 I’ve put in are aggressive (high) relative to the historical performance of the franchise (needed to make sure it came over), so I’m counting on you guys to not make me a liar.”
