Capcom announced its latest financial results revealing that net sales decreased 8.6% from the same term last year, operating income decreased to 57.2% compared to 2007, ordinary income dropped 67.7% and a whopping 95% less net income. The reason for the slacking performance is its weak arcade business, the rise of the yen's exchange rate, and not having the release of flagship titles until Q4 (Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV).

While the economy has been beating companies left and right, Capcom's latest financial result shows a different picture. Mainly driven by Monster Hunt G sales, Capcom's net income increased 16.8% compared to last year, which however only accounted for a 1% increase on profit. The brunt of the income was made by its Arcade division, which saw nearly 200% sales increase driven by Street Fighter IV, Sengoku BASARA X (cross), and Fate/Unlimited Codes, replacing last year's 570 million yen loss with a 737 million yen income gain.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 pits more than 50 of Capcom’s legendary characters and Marvel’s world famous super heroes against each other for dream matches of epic proportions, delivering three-on-three tag team matches and numerous modes of play. Released on PS2/Xbox in 2000,
a new ESRB entry indicates that MvC 2 might be coming to PS3/X360, most likely as a downloadable title. Wonder if this is what Marvel Studios production boss Kevin Feige
was referring to at Comic-Con.
