Capcom First Quarter Profits Drop 90%
Capcom's net income between April 1 and June 30 was 213 million yen (around $2.4 million US), down roughly $23.2 million US from the previous fiscal year's first three months. The blame is pinned on factors including shrinking US and European markets, exchange rate changes, poor sales and an increase in development costs.
Capcom reports that its "flagship title" Lost Planet 2 "underperformed its projection substantially" while Monster Hunter Tri "grew at sluggish pace" and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective--due to hit North America this winter--"struggled." Lost Planet 2 faltering must doubly sting as Capcom pinned a portion of the blame for its 73% drop in profits last year on the fact that the shooter was delayed until its 2011 financial year.
On the bright side, Capcom's mobile versions of Street Fighter IV and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney have "achieved their projected sales." The company also has recently announced a slew of new projects, including Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition, Street Fighter X Tekken, Mega Man Universe and the Nintendo 3DS title Resident Evil: Revelations--though of course all are only drains on income until they are released.

...and if you read the article you linked you would see that it is making the point that THIS IS NOT ABOUT GAMES and THIS IS NOT ABOUT KOREAN GAMERS! It's about neglect, and that it happens to relate to games in this case isn't the point. People take their recreational activities to far in all areas, that relates to those people, and possible a general lack of human responsibility, not to games and not to a particular culture.
Seriously dude, making racial comments here is disrespectful to the dead child, and the culture that those parents came from. Modern society in pretty much all cultures is f***ed... Korea's no exception...but that's not because they are Korean, it's because they are human.

Super Street Fighter IV was awesome. but that may be it.

I also loved Super Street Fighter 4 but lets face it it was only a update to there Street Fighter 4 game. I'm sure Marvel vs Capcom 3 will sell big time though. They just have to realize that there are products they make that don't really sell to the mainstream non Japan audience.
