At a financial presentation, the company listed the following targets for its big fiscal 2010 releases:
- Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (PSP): 3.6 million (Japan Only)
- Dead Rising 2 (PS3/X360): 3.0 million
- Lost Planet 2 (PS3/X360): 2.2 million
- Marvel VS Capcom 3 (PS3/X360): 2.0 million
Monster Hunter was Capcom's biggest franchise in 2009. PSP's Freedom Unite shipped 1.35 million units during the period. Wii's Monster Hunter Tri totaled 1.15 million, all from Japan. Dark Void (no total given, not a good sign!), Bionic Commando (700,000), and Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (600,000) missed Capcom's targets. Capcom also shipped another 950,000 units on Resident Evil 5 in the year ending March 2010.
For the current fiscal year, Capcom also listed its target software shipments by platform as compared to previous fiscal years. The chart is transcribed below.
