They were probably looking at the Skyrim sales and thought "We have a similar setting but with the Capcom twist, this should work".

I was thinking the same thing. But Skyrim was the fifth installment in a franchise that had already made a name for itself with Morrowind and Oblivion. It had built in levels of base hype that only grew as they marketed the title. How is it that Capcom was not aware that DD was starting from scratch?

Well it's Capcom, they want to be the japanese EA. Ironically they lost this race somehow to Bandai-Namco.
Capcom should be striving to be the GC/PS2 era Capcom rather than the Japanese EA.
It's a more noble goal and could bring them the sales they want eventually.

The TBA announced game from Capcom was only listed for PS4, Ono has teased something from visiting Sony, Verendus has said SCE and Capcom are doing a collab and it wouldn't surprise me if its like Deep Down again with help for the engine.
10 million was not from Capcom specifically but form the director of the game. Can't remember their actual forecasts but they expected 1 million in Japan and it sold 680k and it was a disappointment in the sales department especially in the West.

I'm not a PC guy, but they should've released it on PC here where it could've gotten more sales. For a couple reasons (desaturated colors, pawn system in place of actual party with personality), I didn't pick up DD. But I thought it had potential to grow and become better.
I can only hope Capcom sees what Sega is doing with Valkyria Chronicles and decides to actually start taking the PC seriously. Sure their ports have been pretty okay as of late (Dead Rising 3 not withstanding) but it's time to hype them up.

Finally get to add my two cents to this.
Obviously I want this to be a new Dino Crisis. The rumoe awhile back did just say this year and never actually specified when. But that's about all I have to really back that up. Since a lot of other talks seemed to be related to stuff already revealed.
Turning heads over seas is the biggest question. Since the interview is from famitsu, that means whatever it is. They suspect it to have a western appeal. Which could mean anything. Since they have tried to have all of there games fit into that.

It's obviously Dino Zone, Capcom x Guerrilla Games. They brought giant lizards in space, now they bring robosaurs in a primitive world.

Dragon's Dogma is basically dead then. Shame. It was absolutely one of the best Adventure-RPGs to come around in years.

Hopefully he doesn't mean like this.
Yep and if it was multiplatform, it would have also mentioned other systems as well.

synopsis: You play as a dinosaur who has to resist eating humans and has to strive to live a normal societal life. An ancient evil awakens, lasers are mounted and you have to save your master's daughter from a castle.

... I would play the fuck out of this game. This would be my GOTG
Oh well,it's not like a Famitsu journalist care to ask if that game is multiplatform or not, in Japan nobody gives a fuck about X1.

Count me in on the "hope it's DMC5 for PS4" wagon 
Edit: hopefully Hideki Itsuno is involved as well.

Remembering those days when DMC was exclusive for PS2.

Doubtful with Deep Down already exclusive to PS4 and a similar genre.
^It's not too late to get a refund.
I believe, man. Gotta believe in something!

Still amazed they never brought over Dragons Dogma to PC.
Considering all the money they poured into it, thought they would have tried for every penny. Especially considering the performance issues on consoles.

They should have also given the series a second chance and rerelease the game on current gen consoles.
In Capcom though?
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I wish it was a Breath of Fire game... Or a successor of Breath of Fire.
If they're thinking it will sell more than a mainline RE game, then they must be really crazy.

I think its a new title, to turn heads over seas it had to be game everyone knows, and i dont think dino crisis, rival schools or onimusha fits in that over excited announce, the only sequel i can imagine is a resident evil 7 but even then i dont think its something fantastic, lets hope so!

They must have thought the Demo inclusion with the original run was going to help.
But the game even with that had no marketing. Which nowadays is the biggest thing you need to push sales of that extreme.

The biggest question is "Will turn heads overseas"
Which is just confusing as all hell. The interview is with Famistu so obviously it should be referring to the West.
But if the game was to be revealed at playstation experience or any event over here would it be the reverse?

Capcom could probably /still/ port DD over and make a nice grip of cash.
If its at PSexperience it will be. So pour a glass of hope and sit back.
Zero chance. Dragons in East Asian mythology are symbols of goodness and wealth, not evil and suffering.
Ah that explains why Dragons in a lot of Japanese games are possessed when you fight them...never thought about that
I'm thinking if there is another DD then they will go the MH root where they build on top of the previous game and reuse a lot of assets (enemies, bosses, weapons, armors) etc.
That's the only way they can keep the budget sane.
