First, it was Street Fighter 4 shipping more than two million copies. Then, Resident Evil 5 shipped four million. Now publisher and developer Capcom is touting Devil May Cry figures, revealing that the stylish action series has shipped ten million copies.

Capcom corporate officer Christian Svensson revealed that the PC edition of the company's demon-slaying action title Devil May Cry 4 (PC, PS3, 360) saw poor sales since it debuted early last month, owing in some part to rampant piracy of the game.

"It's not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail," Svensson wrote on Capcom's official blog. "It's such a good version and it really deserves better sales. I know it's getting pirated to hell and back (it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped)." Read more »

Lances drawn, a set of bastardly White Knights lunge at me like rockets, propelled by some type of magical energy. One well-timed jump is all it takes to avoid them, and with their backs facing me, I approach the nearest one, grab his lance, and run him through with it, once, twice, three times. On that third hit, the magical energy built up within the lance kicks in, sending the poor misguided fool sailing toward the nearest wall.

I chuckle, but too soon. Mr. White Knight and his companions team up and send a huge ball of glowing energy my way, one that rids me of my remaining health. A now-familiar screen appears, informing me to "Abandon All Hope." I can't decide whether to throw my controller across the room, or try again with a renewed vigor. I opt for both, discovering that the light weight of the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller means they ricochet really, really well. Read more »
