Capcom has made mistakes, says the producer of one of its strongest properties, but the Japanese publisher is learning from them.

Dead Rising 3 producer Mike Jones says that Resident Evil 6, DmC: Devil May Cry, and Lost Planet 3 all sold far below Capcom’s expectations, but that the Monster Hunter series continues to see huge success.

“Capcom is in a growth and adjustment period,” Jones told OXM. “The game’s changed, new consoles are coming out [but] everything’s not out there in the open, right? There are portfolio discussions about next gen and mobile and digital and all this kind of stuff. They’re well aware of our history, our strong properties, strong franchises, and they absolutely want to make the best content for gamers.”

“Capcom’s had its missteps, it’s learning, it’s definitely trying to make quality content – if nothing else, I can say that Capcom has always valued quality. That message might not always seem obvious, but definitely from the inside, I can promise you that their decisions are based on getting the best quality content.

“Sometimes they make mistakes. Sometimes they work with partners who – sometimes games won’t come out right, because there isn’t enough funding or time or whatever it is, but they’re trying and I think they’re on the right track. If you look at their track record over the past year or two, there have been some successes in there, some failures in there, and a lot of lessons to be learned, people are listening and they’re learning, and I think you’ll see a lot of big stuff over the next couple of years.”

Following a disappointing but still profitable 2013 financial year, Capcom announced in April a huge restructure that it said would “strengthen digital strategies" and "raise game quality by moving more game development in-house".

In July, an unspecified number of Capcom employees lost their jobs, including Capcom US senior vice president Christian Svensson.

Capcom blamed the layoffs on the console transition.
