Capcom Label PS3 Sales "Sluggish"

In a belated translation of Capcom's Q&A following the company's latest financials, the Japanese publisher labelled PlayStation3 sales as "sluggish" and in a double-pronged attack claimed the "PSP hasn't achieved the numbers expected."

Perhaps a reminder of why the Japanese publisher has adopted a multi-format development policy regarding titles such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, it's worth noting that Capcom have created one of the most successful titles to appear on the PSP in the shape of the Monster Hunter series.

1 - hmm...

I wonder what Capcom thinks of the 360 sales. 'Disastrous' is a fitting word.

... actually, I wonder what Microsoft makes of the 360 sales. 'Bad Business' are the fitting words.

Any Links? Proof? I think that if you posted links it will actually indicate the opposite of your statement.
I also just read your bio, it totally contradicts your behaviour on this site.
PS You actually Want to play Dead or Alive Extreme 2 and Rumble Roses? I wonder why? ;)

Anyway, while I can't speak for the USA, the PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 in Japan and Europe, and possibly in Australia, I'm not very sure. So, I can only imagine that, unless of course the PS3 is getting slaughtered by the Xbox 360 in the USA, the PS3 sales are currently on par, if not better, than the sales of the Xbox 360 on a worldwide scale.

1.7 - xbox360 has the highest attach rate

in next gen platform( even in japan 360 3.5 while BS3 1.5) +has the biggest instal base worlwide=360 software sales far much better the BS3

-----------
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...
the attache rate from last week figures not december
look at the comment in this link where we already did the calculation to find out the attach

( even in japan 360 3.5 while BS3 1.5)
in japan if BS3 has twice 360 instal base ,360 still will sell more software overall becuse it attach rate is more than twice of BS3...heheheeeeeeeee
----------------------------
i think the reason BS3 attach rate is so low is becuse more people use it as grilling mechaine rather than toaster ..

@below the attaCH rate feom last week look at source and the date+ E3 07 Peter Moore revaled 360 attaCH RATE worldwide> WII+BS3 attach rate world wide combained ...FACT...
where is ur source ?...YOU THINK... i do not care about what you think.

1.8 - @Ali G

Your attach rates are from Dec or 2006! Sales have been declining for the 360 for the past year while sales for the PS3 have increased globally over the last 2-3 mths. They've increased dramatically in the US over the last 3 weeks. But the US is the only place that the 360 was beating the PS3... and for this month at least, the PS3 is even beating the 360 here in the US!

Even if the PS3 sales hadn't been picking up everywhere else... I think #1's post is simply that the 360 sales are in a slump. I think they would see increased sales also if they drop the price... but with all of the losses from their gaming department, they can't afford to do so soon AND even if they do drop it for the holiday... I doubt it will be as drastic as another Sony price drop.

Ps3 sales sluggish when they are pretty much selling the same as the 360 in the same time frame. It would also help if they actually tossed ps3 owners some games such as lost plant and dead rising instead of giving away exclusives like RE and DMC. But oh well companies like capcom that always have something negative to say about the ps3 and never anything positive we will see where there will be at in 2yrs time. Ps3 does need a breakthrough game not a game that is using 30% power a game that uses at least 70% to show what the game is really capable of and to shut devs up once and for all

Its ok to sit on the sidelines and complain. How about getting in the game and contributing? And I dont see how anyone could knock PSP sales. Considering Nintendo OWN the market not just dominate it, and have done for 20 years, PSP couldn't be considered anything but a success.

PS
Whoever keep posting the George Foreman pic with PS3 stories, you might think you're insulting the Ps3, but all you're doing is reminding what good taste I have to own a Playstation.

the reason for that is Capcom hates Sony because they are not doing great sales with PS2 or PS3. Or maybe M$ is going to buy them out.

Ps3 is still in it infancy.And now its picking up in sale,s.360 had no compitation from wii and ps3. And 360 had over a year headstart when the 360 first came out there was not many game's out.Now things are changing, games are coming sales are growing. 360 growth as slowed down.And there's alot of gamers waiting for price drop and some when games are in shops, Sony will see sales rocket and dont forget 360 had two xmas and the ps3 its there first xmas sony knows what they're doing they've been there before they have a great system.

Just a small correction: PS3 was released in NOVEMBER 2006 in Jpn and US. Logic suggests that X-Mass is in December and logic also suggests that December is after November. Therefor the PS3 will see its 2nd X-Mass in the two most important regions this winter, not the first.

look at this list, Capcom had 8 games that sold over 1 million copies on the Ps2 which hade over 100 million users. they have already had 2 games that sold over 1 million copies on the 360 with a 10 million user base. so with that being said, doesnt it show that the xbox brand sells more games(atleast for capcom)
