# only 2 major titlesrpgpro001 2008-05-25 22:15
besides street fighter and resident evil, Capcom did not have a blowout game, a lot of good ones (Mega Man, DMC, Dino Crisis, Onimusha, etc) but nothing to cap 3 million, which many major titles are doing weekly (gta, smash, final fantasy, etc).



Hopefully their next two major games, SFIV and RE5 does as well as the top games
