Traditionally, Japanese developers have been wary of PC development, preferring instead to focus on consoles, with Capcom being a prime example of the phenomenon. For years, Capcom games simply didn’t come out on PC, and then there was a period where the publisher gained a reputation for lousy PC ports, with classics like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 3 being all but ruined on computers. Thankfully, in recent years Capcom has got their act together on PC, with games like Monster Hunter: World and Devil May Cry V getting very respectable PC versions.
Well, it seems like Capcom has much larger ambitions for PC. According to a Nikkei interview with Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto, the company has plans to make PC their primary platform going forward and hopes to achieve a 50-50 split between PC and consoles by 2022 or 2023 (thanks to Bloomberg reporter Takashi Mochizuki for the translation/reporting).
