Capcom had its annual meeting with investors and has projected lower than expected income for the coming year. Chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto said that is in no small part to what it learned from the rocky launch of Street Fighter V.
"It’s best to spend a little more time in developing and running a high-quality title that will perform well globally," Tsujimoto told investors (via MCV), citing Street Fighter V as the prime example. "“Some aspects of Street Fighter V needed more polish, such as the lack of content and server issues at launch. Accordingly, we feel it’s better to give a little more time to development than before, and have made slight adjustments to our portfolio."
He concluded that profits may take "one or two years longer to stack up" than previously anticipated.
PC Online and Mobile have underperformed, Tsujimoto said, but the company plans to expand its PC offerings, including more for Dragon's Dogma, as well as strengthen its mobile development by focusing on popular Capcom IPs. The company said its lineup for the next year will be "on par" with this year, although it did not specifically give titles. Itis also looking into the VR market and eSports.
