Capcom Pushes Three Titles Back Further in 2010

With the substantial number of games delayed until early 2010, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot predicted that more games would be pushed further in the year; his words were portentous as Capcom announced via an investors document [thanks Joystiq] that it was moving three titles out of the first quarter of calender 2010.

Lost Planet 2, Monster Hunter Tri and Super Street Fighter IV have all been moved outside of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. Interestingly, the previously delayed Dark Void will stay in its early 2010 slot, though the sales estimate from Capcom was sliced in half, from 1.3 million to 600,000.

Reasons given for the altered release schedule are to maintain the company's high quality release standards, help the line-up for the upcoming fiscal year and “avoid competing with the major titles that other companies plan to introduce in the 4th quarter.”
