Dragon's Dogma a surprise success, says Capcom
Capcom has released more details for its fiscal year 2013 earnings, saying Dragon's Dogma was a surprise success.
Capcom has shared more details on its recent fiscal year 2013 results. Though Resident Evil 6 is still cited as a disappointment and DmC: Devil May Cry is only "stable," the company noted that Dragon's Dogma became an unexpected hit.
Capcom once again cited that RE6 missed its sales projections after plateauing at 4.9 million. Despite similarly missing its sales projections, DmC was said to have "stable popularity" and "solid sales." Dragon's Dogma, on the other hand, was a million-seller. It says this is greater-than-expected success in our market, especially as original titles are "unprecedented" in recent years to reach those numbers. No wonder the company intends to make it a franchise.
The announcement also noted that a few of its mobile games steadily gained new users, and existing ones like Smurf's Village and Beeline have been stable long-term. Capcom had mentioned a focus on mobile development in its prior announcements, and this sheds light on why.

Oh I agree, the first time you have to run to the Griffon tower. Seriously, who thought that such a long run needed to be longer by having you sprint against strong wind that will push you back?
The port crystals don't solve the issue, but they at least help a little.
I'm hoping the next game does something to make travel a little less painful.

DF says 360 marginally http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-dragons-dogma-face-off

360 has better framerate but lots of tearing
PS3 has poorer framerate but is locked to vsync.
I have the PS3 version. Sometimes the framerate can get really shitty, especially that healing spell bubble... it's probably like 5-10 FPS :(
Game's fucking awesome otherwise, I have like 90 hours played and finished pretty much everything. Not sure what else there is to do after getting all the overpowered BBI loot.

I'd have to insist that Capcom's poor sales are in direct relation to their 'upgraded' releases. As consumers we've been fooled enough times now to know that in a few months there will be a newer version of the game with more stuff, and potentially even ANOTHER version of the game later with even more stuff.
Capcom has 'Ultimate'ly 'Gold'ed itself out of first run purchases.
