Capcom has re-evaluated its financial earnings forecast for the financial year ending March 31st, 2011 following less than expected sales of the title Lost Planet 2 and unforeseen delays on its release of zombie-infested sandbox game Dead Rising 2.
The company has lowered its projected net income from ¥2.9 billion (£21.95m) to ¥1.7 billion (£12.86m), down 41% and projected totals for the financial year up to March 31st, 2011 were from ¥8 billion (£60.56m) to ¥6.5 billion (£49.2m), down 18.8%.
The strength of the yen against other currencies such as the pound, the dollar and the Euro was also identified as a factor for the rescaling of Capcom's earnings for the current financial year.
