The Street Fighter franchise isn't what it used to be. This is also contributed to the general lack of support of 2D based games.
Also to boot the Street Fighter franchise has been given to Studio 8, Capcom's US development house.

I'm talking about combined arcade operations + arcade games vs. home console games. Home console sales fell off a cliff last year (down almost a third), while arcade revenues are up almost 50%. They'd be in much worse shape if their arcade operations weren't picking up some of the slack from the console side.BuddyC said:

oops, nm
And by "almost 50%" you mean 40% or so.Rhindle said:
Total Arcade Sales 2003 - 10,201 million yen
Total Arcade Sales 2004 - 14,270 million yen
14270/10201 = 1.3988824625036761101852759533379
So 2004 was rougly 140% of 2003, and once we realize that 100% indicates a constant, that leaves us with 40% growth.
True, they'd be in worse shape had the Arcade business not brought in that extra 4,069 million yen, but again, that does very little to "prop up" the "shaky console business" that went down 14,141 million yen, more than three times the growth of Total Arcades. And let's not even go into how most of that growth was just in Arcade Games and how it's the first time in two years that Arcade Games has shown an increase in sales, or how the Arcade Games division has yet to top the sales from 2001, or even 2000, or how the HVG sales have been far more stable than those of Arcade Games in recent years, or how the Total Arcade division accounts for only 27% of Capcom's Total Sales while HVG brings in a whopping 64.4%. When Arcades bring in a larger percentage of total sales than HVG, then we can talk about Arcade Sales "propping up their shaky console business."
Blah.

I just read the news that EA has made around 3k millions in the US last finalcial year. But 15k millions around the world is the way too much. and Capcom make 600 millions around the world is too least (That is even less than their income only from Japan) . This graph is totally biased :lol

Capcom makes more profit on game sales in Japan, that holds true for all other Japanese publishers. Simply for the main reason that games cost more in Japan, so higher profit percentages.
But yeah, that graph seemed off to begin with.
Capcom is a pretty large company, it has over 1,000 employees and 8 development houses.
I don't think 600 million in total worth would be enough to support a company of that magnitude.
BTW* Clover Studios is really just a fancy name for the previously shut down Capcom Studio 5.
That gave us masterpeices such as Chaos Legion... :lol :lol

for more information (I think it is needed for someone here
) . I don't see how can the company with 106,361 Millions yen asset will fall down next gen :lol

I'm not sure exactly if I'm reading your post right, but that's not a graph of how much each company makes (I'm also not sure whether you mean sales or profits by that, but it's not depicting either one anyway), it's a graph of their market caps, which would be the current share price multiplied the total number of outstanding shares.
And as such, it's relatively close to the actual numbers, though it's obviously not current. Capcom is actually lower now.
And I'm not sure if you're doing the currency conversion. 600 million US Dollars is a LOT more than Capcom has ever made in its best year. Outside of EA, I don't think any 3rd party has ever made that much in terms of profit. 600 million yen however would be a pretty low hurdle for most companies to clear. The graph is in USD, so I'm assuming you're referring to yen when you say Capcom could make 600 million in just Japan.
I'm not quite sure , but could you check it from this link --> http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/pdf/2005result_01/e050523.pdf
there is Consolidated statement of Income on Page 21 .
BTW i'll give you more information on Squareenix here --> http://www.square-enix.com/jp/ir/e/data/financial/download/tanshin_050524en.pdf
And compare both to the graph I mentioned ;]

Not saying they will fail of course, but I think you also have to put their assets into the context of their liabilities, which are around 74 billion yen.

That is definitely in yen. So Capcom had a profit of 3.6 billion yen, which is about $33 million.
For Square-Enix they had a profit of 15 billion yen / $140 million.
But again, the graph wasn't referring to profits or sales either way.

Namco will own next gen. They have made so many good looking games on PS2, I can't freaking wait to see the next Ace Combat game.
Bebpo said:I think a lot of people forget that while Capcom puts out a lot of mediocre games, they still put out a strong amount of top-shelf AAA games that kick ass each gen.
So while financially most of their games bomb, hopefully they will give us just as many gems next generation.
Yeah, Capcom rocks.

I'll buy whichever next gen console gets the Monster Hunter sequel.
Capcom is at the border of the abyss...Their games have always kicked ass but the fact that they milk to the max their series is a thing that should be changed.
Too many risks with multi-console development since the 32 bits specially with the weaker platfforms hasn't helped a lot (SS,DC,GC,XB) and the fact that their projects can be PRETTY EXPENSIVE (Onimusha, Resident Evil, DMC) is a thing that hurts them a lot.
I really hope next gen they can make enough money to continue where they are. I no longer care about their games on a certain platfform. I just want them to not disappear.

I'm worried too. I was hoping for a Namco merger before, but that seems pretty much impossible now. Namco Capcom could've been fantastic.jett said:
You mean Studio 6, Studio 5 is their mobile division (who are also doing their PSP ports now).C- Warrior said:
And really, Studio 6 was mostly split betwen Studio 4 and Studio 3 (though some staff was let go also, along with Capcom's Tokyo PC team iirc). Clover Studio is made up of mostly Studio 4 staff (a good amount likely coming from the old Studio 6) with some Studio 1 staff mixed in (specifically the GB Zelda team).
Currently, Capcom houses the following software R&D divisions...
01 Capcom Production Studio 1
02 Capcom Production Studio 2
03 Capcom Production Studio 3
04 Capcom Production Studio 4
05 Capcom Production Studio 5
06 Capcom Production Studio 8 (USA)
07 Clover Studio
08 Flagship Company
