Japanese publisher confirms an increase in income and revenues over the year; Resident Evil 4 for Wii and Phoenix Wright 4 helps drive figures...
Capcom has today confirmed that its financial fortunes in the first quarter of the 2008 fiscal year were helped by sales of Resident Evil 4 for Wii, and the Japanese release of Phoenix Wright 4 on Nintendo DS.
The Japanese publisher, which revealed a year-on-year increase in net sales of 35.1% to 14.28 billion Yen (£58.9 million), also confirmed that the continued performance of its PSP title, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, also spurred on its figures for the three-month period.
Operating income rose by 57% on the year to 2.08 billion Yen (£8.6 million), with net income topping 1.13 billion Yen (£4.7 million), up 39.7%.
As a result of today's release, Capcom has revised its expectations for the first six months of the fiscal year, ending September 30th. Net sales are now forecast to reach 30.35 billion Yen (£125.1 million), with operating income of 2.40 billion Yen (£9.9 million), and net income at 1.35 billion Yen (£5.6 million).

RE 4 wii edition kicks ass. thay should bring RE0 to U.S matter fact they should bring back RE 0,1,2,and 3 to the wii scence they had it them on GC. If RE 5 is big on 360/ps3,which it will. It will have to come out for the wii at some time.plus most of the best RE games came out for the nintendo. RE4,RECVX came out on PS2 but was on the GC first. RE survivor 1and2,and RE dead aim (came out on PS/SP2) werent all that good any way. Which is why y dont ever here about them rearly any where. so yes! japan needs to stop being pansies and release RE0 in the U.S RE fans would rather have it on an updated system any way, with new features or not.

Once again, Japan adds to the endless list of titles that it is privvy to. We get jack! They never release anything over here unless they can guarantee it'll make teh monies. Greedy sods. Sigh.

RPG4life what are you on about? RE5 won't be out on PS3/360 until 2009 at the earliest. Type Resident Evil 5 in the search bar at the top to find out more info on it.

Has anyone played the resident evil 5 game yet? I was wanted to buy it but if the graphics are not that great then I will wait until it comes out for the PS3.

No, not zombie fleas, probably maggots. You know, since the flesh is probably already dead, theres a new breed of insects, not some invented breed, silly james. So I hear some really cool things about this version, I've played and beaten the cube version, played through it a bit more but haven't beaten it a second time, worth it?
