Capcom has informed investors that profits will come in lower than the projected $66 million for the fiscal year ending March 31. The reason for this is a "special loss" as a result of restructuring the company ($74 million). While still expecting a profit it is less than half of what Capcom originally projected ($29.5 million). A couple of games, Resident Evil 6 and DMC Devil May Cry underperformed compared to projections, but healthy Resident Evil 5 pachinko numbers meant that revenue was actually somewhat higher than expected.
The restructuring and increased focus on DLC, will also see Capcom move away from Western third party development. The publisher notes "a decline in quality due to excessive outsourcing", and while Ninja Theory's DMC Devil May Cry was met with praise, it does not bode well for Spark Unlimited's Lost Planet 3. A few unannounced projects have also been cancelled. The plan is now to once again focus more on in-house development.
