Capcom plans to ship record 28 million sales this fiscal year with "multiple major new titles" (13 unannounced SKUs)

I'm honestly thinking a comprehensive Marvel vs. Capcom Legacy Collection (the Arcade1UP cabinets proved that Capcom & Marvel are still on speaking terms).
I thought we were talking about Mega Man games.
I doubt they'll revisit the MVC series through a legacy collection, if at all.
We've got classic, X, & Z/ZX. The only ones left are Battle Network, Star Force, & Legends. I could see Legends next but I don't see them doing Star Force before Battle Network. Or are you referring to a completely different franchise.
Three SKUs should already be accounted for by REmake 3.
I think the likely breakdown is:
REmake 3 (3 SKUs)
RE8 (5 SKUs)
A port/legacy collection (4 SKUs)
MH Switch (1 SKU)
That would easily account for the 10 million they're expecting from new titles, and SFVI having slipped into the next FY.
My point is that I don't think we'll get another Mega Man collection so soon after the Z/ZX collection. I do expect Battle Network to get a legacy collection eventually, just not in the immediate future. And like I said, we know that both Capcom & Marvel are still willing to negotiate considering that we got one cabinet for CotA/MSH/Punisher with another for MvC1/XvSF on the way.
If RE3R does account for 3 of the SKUs, that would make sense.
That Battle Network collection could easily come February 2021 and that wouldn't be too close but yeah I get your point. I just don't expect anything that soon related to MVC, at least not this fiscal year.
MH in space with mechs, guns and you fight giant insects instead of dinosaurs. 2 was pretty much this.
I really want a new Lost Planet but I feel that's unlikely.
RE8 will probably be the only major title released from them this year (or just 1 major title with no/very few smaller titles). They expect only 10 millions to come from new games, and RE8 would already account for almost half that.
RE8 will release on current and next gen console so that's 6-7 skus accounted for. The rest will either be a bunch of smaller titles or just one major title releasing on next and current gen consoles.

I mean, stranger things have happened. But I feel like late 2020 would make sense for the non-MM legacy collection, with April 2021 or so being the time for a Battle Network collection (or collections, if they're split in two as you said).
This is the make or break year for MH on switch. If they don't release one or if it skips switch, it will be over imo.
Or we'll have to wait for Switch 2 to get mhw switch edition...

This is the most realistic scenario for me. They expect 10 million sales between these SKUs (the other 18 being catalog titles). RE8 being probably released in January, the rest for holiday season… I'd consider a Monster Hunter title a given IMO.
But like I said, if the 13 is only for new games not already released, the only leaves one more SKU (MH Switch).
You know what I'll take it. As long as they add a story mode for single player fans.
I mean, if nothing happens, we can at least bury the hope of portable Monster Hunter. I can live with World, it's great, but not gonna lie, I'd prefer a portable entry with the same QOL stuff and visual improvements (in other words: just better looking than MHGU, which is fine undocked, but looks really meh on the TV).
I don't think Capcom would release any Vs. fighter before a numbered SF game.
That tweet isn't saying what you're saying it's saying. ZhugeEx is saying that there are multiple major titles including the already-released RE 3.
I don't doubt that RE8 is hitting this fiscal year but ZhugeEx isn't "confirming" it here.
They would aim higher with a new MH title. The thing Capcom expects the most from is back catalogue sales for this fiscal year.
SFV has been selling close a million each FY. And SFVI can do 3m if it receives the same level of reception as RE2,DMC5...etc.
4m is possible , but its going to have to be an amazing title at launch. Not like how SFV was.
Forecasting record sales is already aiming pretty damn high, given our current economic uncertainty. I don't think they would do that if they weren't extremely confident in their software line-up, and yes, I think that includes a new MH game (not a World sequel).
Why 4 SKUs for the colllection? Wouldnt that be 6? Switch, PS4, PS5, X1, XSX, PC?
Not sure I understand the split of units
Am I misunderstanding it when it looks like they expect 18 out 28 million software is catalogue?
And only 3M sales in Japan?

PS4, XB1, Switch, & PC. I'd imagine that this collection will be released before the PS5 & XSX are out, to the point where Capcom may just opt for those games to be played on the next-gen systems via BC.
I am talking about a World sequel. Isnt the record year still the one MHW released for new game sales? Seems like Capcom is expecting a lot from continous sales. I do agree with the idea a Switch MH would fit nicely here.
Yes, which is why the splits are weird when they claim to have "multiple major new titles"
This has got to include a new Monster Hunter for Switch (in addition to something like RE8 that'll sell in the several millions). I don't think anything else will help push them to those kinds of total sales in a single year, but a Switch MH might considering everything sells like absolute insanity on that platform.
Yeah it looks odd to me.
Unless the plan to release those multiple major new titles very late in the fiscal year I guess.
But 3M for Japan only doesnt look good for a new Monster Hunter game..
Can one of these be a Battle Network Collection please?
Hell I'll take a 1-3 then 4-6
Please and thank you

Yes not a confirmation of the game rather that's their most likely big game to end this FY as it will take up 5 SKUs of their remaining 10
The way he spoke of it, RE3R is likely accounting for 3 of the 13 games mentioned.
So yeah, if SFVI is coming next year, it's probably the game that got pushed to the next fiscal year (as Dusk Golem mentioned).

RE8 ain't hitting 28 mil alone, probably not even 10. They gotta have a few heavy hitters on deck.
