Jinzouningen17 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Note: Credit goes to [url]http://www.cherryroms.com[/url] for the news... Also note that since Capcom is pretty much apart of both Nintendo and Sony, I decided to put this on the Sony forum since the majority of their games(that I know of)are on Playstation. ^_^ [b]Capcom Share Slump[/b] [i]Despite disastrous financials, Capcom's share price has been buoyant of late, due to heavy industry rumouring that Nintendo was poised to make a full acquisition of the firm early next year. The gossip escalated as both firms erected a wall of silence, refusing to either confirm or deny the possibility of such a deal. However, Capcom vice president Heiji Oshima denied the existence of such negotiations over the weekend, sending Capcom shares plummeting as the market woke up to itself. Oshima denied that the firm is looking to partner, or be bought by anyone and stated that the firm's financial records this year to date are not reflective of general business, but due to heavy losses posted in certain property dealings in which Capcom was involved. He also stated that Capcom believes its Christmas line-up, at least in Japan, was strong enough to make a market impact. "More than 200 games are scheduled for release this holiday season, despite that superfluous supply we're confident in our line-up and progressing as planned." Despite this, Oshima failed to address the fact that Capcom's multi-format release schedule was a bit bleak for the coming year on all platforms other than those made by Nintendo.[/i] So what do yall think about this?

Sniglefager Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Actually, a few web sites have already confirmed that Capcom isn't gonna be bought by Nintendo. Of course, you never know, but I think it would be a cold day in h*** before Capcom became a 2nd party developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
