Capcom Needs A Game To Sell 2 Million Copies Before A Sequel Is Considered

Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono has recently explained how the company takes sales into consideration in terms of sequels. Ono had this to say “For instance, if a game doesn't sell over 2 million copies, then we'd have to put the brakes on any plans for a sequel. All that means is that we weren't capable enough. And all we can do after that is to reflect on the experience, take what we can learn from it, and try to apply those lessons on some other title."According to Capcom's website, some games that have yet to reach the 2 million units sold include DmC: Devil May Cry, Dead Rising 3 and Dragon's Dogma just to name a few.
