Over 60% of Capcom's sales now come from PC.
>NowBeen like that since 2024. Keep up chump.
Sweet
>>744246617>PC has mods>Posts AI slop
>>744246420is it the same for their fighting game division?
>>744247404>make mods discordfaggated or gaytreonwalled>UH WHY YOU USE AI INSTEADstfu gonna use ai more hard now
>>744247569This
>>744246420But but... that goes against my narrative that PC is dying...What am I going to do now?
Nice!It means more Capcom games will be on PC!
>>744247870You must talk about Sony ending PC releases of their brilliantly woke games such as Laufey. It's the only thing you have left, good luck
>>744247870
And what's that percentage in revenue?Game unit sales are worthless when you're selling games for pennies to thirdies
>>744246420PC killed physical
>>744248034So good that Capcom says PC is the future
>>744248061why?
It'll be interesting to see if this continues now that RAM quintupled in price and no one can afford a PC anymore.Like in 5 years is everyone still going to be on PC when games need 64gb of RAM and that alone costs $900? Or are we just going to have a decade of games limited to 16/32gb of RAM because developers are terrified that requiring more than that means no one buys your game?
>>744248391Steam normalized owning nothing and being happy.
>>744248451But I own my Steam games
>>744248421Sony themselves are forecasting lower PS5 sales this FY (ends March 2027) despite the the GTA6 giant coming out in November. They are purposely kneecapping production to save money. The biggest Xbox shill just posted an article stating Microsoft is losing $150 per Xbox Series unit and that's accounting for the price hike next month. Next gen consoles are fucked price wise and that means they'll have a very small userbase comparatively. Devs who aren't retarded are still going to cater to current gen PS5/X|S consoles and their specs for another decade which means 16/32GB on PC will still be good for years.
>>744246420>>744246698>60% of sales come from Steam >They still can't bother to optimize their games for PCWhy is every AAA developer gay and/or retarded, /v/?
>>744248767>They still can't bother to optimize their games for PCYou wanna know why? Because>60% of sales come from SteamIt's that high despite their poopy optimization. Luckily, DD2 and Wilds sucked so much shit (and I'm just talking about performance) that they got a little spooked and hopefully stopped sucking on their own balls. Plus Wilds being bad and running poorly probably pissed off the PC chinks, which are a good chunk of all their sales. Well technically their RE and MH sales, which are the majority of their sales anyway.
>>744248421Game developers are already pivoting their in-development projects to use less RAM, games that were pushing the boundaries , so yeah 16~32gb is the limit until the 2030s at the earliest. So don't expect any major game release to demand more than that this decade.
>>744248767Except for MH, Capcom makes good ports.
>>744248965>Plus Wilds being bad and running poorly probably pissed off the PC chinksOk but seriously, is there anything they are NOT pissed about?You could sneeze once and they will condemn your entire liniage.
>>744248421>Like in 5 years is everyone still going to be on PC when games need 64gb of RAMPS6 will hardly have more than 24GB of RAM (shared with VRAM), unless they want PS6 to be $2000.5 years from now on, we'll still have games developed for PS5 and Switch 2.Call of Duty dropped PS4 only this year, 13 years after the console launch.
>>744249247I dunno Rise/Sunbreak was pretty good as a Port.Probably helped that it was originally on the Switch so it barely needed to do anything but look better and hit 60fps+.
>>744248421>get called poorfag all the time>abuse ai and jack up hardware prices>NOOOOO STOP USING AI TO RAISE THE PRICESkek

>>744246420>>744246698I'm not surprised. Remember, that 39.6% console share is split across three platforms. Roughly speaking, that's about Nintendo at ~18%, PlayStation at ~12%, and Xbox at ~9.6%. PC alone still came out on top.
>>744246420wowe
>>744246420The funny thing is this news only affects Playstation negatively.
>>744252364This
>>744246420Wow
>>744248080When they say this they aren't talking about some 1660ti on a 4 core AMD CPU. They mean like 4090 class GPUs and higher.
>>744250779Dunno why you'd assume Nintendo would be second highest, Nintendo fans only ever show up for Nintendo games. It almost certainly goes PC >>> Playstation > Nintendo > Xbox>>744252364This affects all consoles negatively, it's not just about Capcom, they're just another sign. Consoles are slowly being put out to pasture, which isn't much of a loss since they keep getting worse anyway.
>>744254116Until the average PC is better than console it won't happen.
>>744254147It already is.
>>744246420Diana is built for the BPC (Big PC Chad)
>>744248516We all know you are just jealous, Tim.
>>744254116>Consoles are slowly being put out to pasture, which isn't much of a loss since they keep getting worse anyway.So basically just Xbox and Playstation then?
>>744246420>Capcom:"We are making so much money, what do we do with it? Make a new DMC or a new battle network game? New Breath of Fire now that turn based games are alive and well and our RPG is essentially a cult classic?">Capcom:"We'll make infinite Resident Evils and Monster Hunters and throw a bone to the faggots like Classic Megaman."
>>744246420>game that pulls at the heartstrings of lonely NEETs that should have had a daughter of their own by now>sells better on the platform preferred by such people, instead of consoles, which are preferred by normal, well adjusted members of societyTruly shocking
>>744246420The physical games narrative may be the most disingenuous event in gaming history, no one actually cares and every new stat proves it.
Remember not to reply to bait replies, frens
>>744254410bringing her home for cute clothes and hot food
>>744248767>>744248965Resident Evil alone is also probably a significant chunk of that and those games always run fairly well.
Who cares? Shit slopped and flopped lmao!
>>744252317this
>>744246420Because Capcom games actually run on PCs that most Steam users have. That's all you have to do, make sure your game works
>>744248080>PC is the futureYes, but this is what they mean, tho...
>>744254292They're making so much money because of Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. Those two titles are what allows them to fund a major third title and then smaller projects on the side. They've been operating like this for years. I don't know why you people still don't manage to understand that part.
>>744254147The low average PC is a 3060. A PS5 is only like a 2060 tier system, the Switch 2 is a glorified 1050ti, and who cares about Xbox, it's somewhere in the middle.
>>744247569>employing AI not because it helps you produce something better or more efficiently but because when evidence of its use is seen it annoys someone
>>744254246The entire concept of consoles is on borrowed time for a whole slew of reasons and they've been dying slowly ever since the height of the PS2 and Wii/DS eras. The only reason they make more money now despite selling far less is because they charge more and found new ways to take advantage of their remaining users.
>>744248421It's kind of a moot point since almost every electronic computing device on the planet uses RAM, including consoles.And no, Sony and MS will not get some super secret amazing contract that allows them to get memory at a 40% discount, they're going to pay the same overpriced amount as everyone else because none of the memory manufacturers are going to take that revenue hit when they could just be selling to AIshit companies.
>>744248767The only Capcom games that run poorly are MH Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2, and they also run like shit on consoles.They need to stop trying to use RE Engine for open world games, it's clearly not built for them.
It seems since the release of RE6 (which was a disaster) whoever is calling the shots at capcom HQ really has read the tea leaves and saw which way things need to go and is pivoting the company in that direction.>smaller games more often >related to above they are reducing risk as they aren't staking the company on mega titles selling mega numbers>this is why we got pragmata>embracing - albeit sometimes in a broken way - modern technologies (HDR for example)>leaning heavily into the growing PC space>most of the games they make are performant at good image qualityThey also tend to remove denuvo from their games after a period so while I think some of the asking price for their games is a bit much they are making games that don't exist as a fuck you letter to fans. A lot of other big players in the industry are years behind capcom in their business model.
>>744248421What is it with consoleniggers comparing the prices of their shitboxes to hardware with 3x the performance?
>>744257830That's retarded since the cloud still needs tons of compute to serve those users and it only benefits those cloud providers like Amazon. And people might hate Nvidia now, but Nvidia would hate this too. Nvidia wants to sell to data centers, the cloud, and retail, not cut out one entirely. Tons of the populace wouldn't go for it either for a whole bunch of reasons related to cost, reliability, confidentiality and trust. It's just Bezos's worthless wet dream.
>>744257830>You own your PC?>OY VEY, NOT ON MY WATCH!!!!Lol. Do kikes really
>>744246420PC = Players of Cunny
>>744248421If you're implying this trend will somehow reverse to consoles, it will not. These component prices hit PC first, but they will hit consoles so much worse once stockpiles are gone and new contracts have to be signed. The margins for consoles are garbage, they're total wasted compute and locked down to something entirely superfluous in the grand scheme of things. If nobody can afford to buy a PC anymore, consoles would have died long before that point, not benefited.
>>744248080PC has always been the leading platform for games, and the only one that actually counts. Consoles are literally for faggots and children.
>>744259694>hardware with 3x the performancelike the steam machine
>>744258291>They've been operating like this for yearsThey do this at the expense of everything else. There was a point where we had a Megaman game every year or 2 before it became a Disney Vault IP where all it's good for was remastered collections. You can't expect people not to get pissed off at how they're handling their legacy IPs.
>>744248767That's just Wilds and DD2, which run like shit on everything.
>>744260102>Nvidia wants to sell to data centers, the cloud, and retail, not cut out one entirely.That's not what the current sales trends they have show. They've shown pretty clearly in the last 10 years or so that they'll give up on the retail sales no problem because the profit margins and market size of data centers and cloud servers are just that more massive.
>>744246420Low numbers considering the games are much cheaper on PC.
>>744248767Their engine is only trash for open world games, everything else runs marvelously.They just have to fix their engine to handle the open-world design.
>>744259445I'm inclined to agree that they're a far cry from their days of RE6 and the likes of SFxT fiascos but I'm still a bit wary of their current direction. Just talking about RE here.>Progenitor of remake craze. GOG interview when they released the pc ports of the original RE1-3 games also show that amongst higher up there's a Jim Ryan mindset of "players have the new version, why should they play the old thing?">Related to this you still are unable to purchase and play online with games like Lost Planet 2 or ORC, despite Capcom removing the GFWL from RE5 years ago.>Remake 4 despite it being on re-released and accessible on every console and obviously hugely influential. Now 4make's success has done what the original 4 did to the series and has them trying to balance the horror with action shootan, with RE9 literally just being half-and-half of both.Not even mentioning stuff like DD2 or Wilds running like ass.
>>744260587That's because they have to prioritize right now. They don't want to kill the retail market, they're just massively supply constrained and selling to data centers is by far the most bang for their buck. If they wanted to kill off the retail sector they just would stop producing for it entirely, it's not like it's mandatory for them anymore.
>>744260360No nigger, your snoybox pro performs worse than a 3700x with 16gb of ddr4 and a 9060xt 8gbDon't compare yourself to 64gb of ddr5 and a 5090
>>744246420get this pedoshit off the catalog
>>744260772One thing about Capcom that no one talks about is that they actually fucking listen to feedback and make surveys all the time.DD2 getting sn expansion + more performance updates is a direct result of that, same with the new Onimusha and the director addressing difficulty issues.
>>744261029>listen to feedback and make surveys all the time.The unwashed masses are retarded though.
>>744261029>that they actually fucking listen to feedback and make surveys all the time.This is the biggest cope possible because if that was true Dino Crisis would've gotten a new game.
>>744246420
>>744246420>over 60% of Capcom sales now come from PC>99% of those are from 50% off salespc lost hard kek
>>744261227dunno why you think that is a bad thing.thats literally why japs love to release their games to PC now, iirc they cite that games still selling throughout the years on PC as a big thing for them, unlike on console where the initial sales are big but eventually the sales trickle to almost nothing after years. Console users just stop buying older games while on PC they keep selling, thus always making money.
>>744260547Mega Man was vaulted because people stopped buying them. ZX Advent had some pathetic low target sales numbers and it couldn't even hit that. It wasn't like the new games were shit either. ZX, ZX Advent, Starforce 3, Maverick Hunter X, Powered Up were all great, but the audience didn't care. They weren't able to fund the production of future titles in their own lineup. RE sales were probably the only reason Capcom kept shitting out Mega Man games.
>>744246420As physical dies I think most will just do piracy instead. Companies aren't leaving consumers with any options
>>744261227That's been their business strategy since RE6 flopped. One of their key methods for long term support is consistent sales for legacy titles. They alway point this out in their investor reports. I still remember when everyone, including here, mocked them for their 10 million sales target for RE7.Digital allows them to push older titles back up on their sales reports with minimal publishing or development cost. It's essentially cheap money for them without ever having to develop a new title.
>>744261227Isn't it funny how consoleniggers say consoles are cheaper because they compare their trash to a 5090 and then whine about discounts Pick a lane
>>744262360That's what makes PC so worthless though. Nobody buys games there because it has piracy and then everyone is larping that they have RTX 5090 yet somehow can't afford to buy games lol
>>744249305Chinamen not being domesticated consumer cattle like japanese is a good thing for PC gaming. That's how Pokemon became a joke, thanks to domesticated consumers from the west and east.Never, EVER give companies an inch.
>>744262829Pokemon became a 'joke' only on the game side and that's 100% on Gamefreak refusing every branch lowered to them by Nintendo.The Chinese just don't give a shit unless you stop them from being able to cheat in some fashion, or forget to add Chinese as a language option.
>>744262808>Nobody buys gamesDid you read the op, coping consolegoy?
>>744263826I did. What Capcom is doing is going towards digital only like the Sony cucks. They count GCK as digital too which is why I'm not supporting them anymore
I'd like to see - in the pc space - capcom stick their games on gog once they remove the drm.
>>744261227>>744262808>t.
