Capcom Stock at Five-Year High

Sep 11, 2007 2:21pm CST tags: Capcom, Industry News: Console
Shares of Capcom's stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange reached a five-year highpoint today, according to Bloomberg. The Osaka-based game company's shares hit 2,855 yen and have been riding high in anticipation of mega-busting Wii software sales.

Analyst Jay Defibaugh told Bloomberg he expects Capcom's first Wii title, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, to exceed the company's predicted shipments of 620,000 units by March 31. Upcoming Wii games from Capcom include the Nintendo Zapper-supporting rail-shooter Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, coming in November, and the preposterously named adventuring title Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, also coming this fall.

Check out the Shack previews on both Umbrella Chronicles and Zack & Wiki for more on these titles.
