Capcom's Christian Svensson: Don't Worry About the No More Exclusive Talk

Akira_EX | September 14, 2008 | News | Company Misc 
In Capcom's most recent shareholder report, the game publisher had announced that it will not produce any more console exclusives, and instead take a full multiplatform approach with its titles.

In response to the riled up members of the internet, Capcom USA's Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development, Christian Svensson, released a short statement, saying that people should not be worried about it, and it will not be the end of the world.
This past Thursday, Capcom released a shareholder report. One of the more troubling entities which was identified revolved around mutliplatform and exclusive titles. “All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games,” read the report. However, Capcom is now attempting to partially mitigate the damage that the financial report has caused.

“Relax. I think the materials pretty much speak for themselves and we’re continuing to support all consoles with appropriate content,” said Capcom’s Christian Svnesson. “It just means things that in the past would have been timed exclusives to a single platform will no longer be exclusive to a single platform. It’s just better business decisions at play. I don’t think fans have anything to worry about. That said, I know nothing I say will keep people from freaking out, screaming ‘the sky is falling, OMG!’ So feel free to carry on assuming the worst. I suspect you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do so.”
