Japanese publisher Capcom has adjusted its forecast for the 2014 fiscal year ended March 31. The company expects net profit to be $19 million less.

Monster Hunter 4 (3DS) turned out to be a “spoonful of honey” in a barrel of tar, which raised sales by $ 44 million. The results of the mobile and PC-online directions were lower than expected.

According to the report, mobile development is hampered by the decentralization of resources between two offices — in Tokyo and Osaka, as well as the lack of experience in the latter.

Monster Hunter – remains one of the most beautiful and successful series of recent times, not only for Capcom, but also for Nintendo, on whose platforms it is regularly releasedTo eliminate these problems, Capcom plans to reorganize the processes, which will spend $ 48 million.

As for the online project Monster Hunter: Frontier G, according to Capcom, it was prevented from becoming successful by “tough” competition.

Capcom Mobile has been unwell since last year. At the end of December, the division reported a 39% drop in sales, explaining this by a lack of major releases and, again, competition.


It was founded in 1979. Known for the series of games Street Fighter II, Mega Man, Bionic Commando, Dead Rising. Capcom’s position in the mobile market is still very weak. In the box office top 100 in Japan, the company has only one project – a butler based on Monster Hunter モンハン 大狩猟クススト.
