This did not fit the current strategy of the company and already Capcom was not happy with the quality of the outsourced projects. The quality of products is to be raised at a expansion of internal development again.
In the course of the current financial report Capcom went into the projected sales figures for the game "Resident Evil 6" and "DmC Devil May Cry".
