Street Fighter VÔÇÖs launch wobbles have led to a change in development strategy at Capcom.

Chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has told investors that part of the reason why the company has forecast a dip in operating income is that ÔÇ£itÔÇÖs best to spend a little more time in developing and running a high-quality title that will perform well globallyÔÇØ.

Specifically, this is due to what ÔÇ£what we learned from the past year of operationsÔÇØ and the launch of Street Fighter V.

ÔÇ£Some aspects of Street Fighter V needed more polish, such as the lack of content and server issues at launch,ÔÇØ Tsujimoto added. ÔÇ£Accordingly, we feel itÔÇÖs better to give a little more time to development than before, and have made slight adjustments to our portfolio.

ÔÇ£Profits may take one or two years longer to stack up than initially expected, however we will be firmly strengthening our brands. That being said, even looking at CapcomÔÇÖs growth exclusively, we expect at the very least growth in excess of ten per cent to continue.ÔÇØ

The game was plagued by severe connection problems at the time of launch, although it was the backlash about the lack of launch content in the game that caused more problems. Series boss Yoshinori Ono admitted that the company underestimated the importance of a strong single player mode ÔÇô hence the decision to launch without one.

Street Fighter V has since February sold 1.4m copies worldwide. Capcom had estimated 2m unit sales by this point.

Me parecen correctas las declaraciones. Si este batacazo les sirve de algo, mejor. Lo peor es que lo siguieran haciendo. El tiempo dirá.

Y dicen que lo van a corregir.

Y el próximo Sonic ya saben que es lo que fallaba y lo van a corregir.

Y el próximo PES.

Y...

Que, bueno, espero que así sea, pero es Capcom, son capaces de lo mejor y de lo peor.

Yo lo interpreto como: "es que somos nuevos en este negocio┬áy no sabíamos que lo de desarrollar juegos iba así, pero ahora ya empezamos a entenderlo..."

Y os lo creeis, que es lo mejor de todo.

Claro que me lo creo. De hecho, justo después de leer estas declaraciones, he vendido mi casa, mi PC y mi virginidad para comprar todas las acciones posibles de Capcom. Soy un tiburón de los negocios.
