SOFTIMAGE|XSI Case Study: Capcom - DEVIL MAY CRY 4
 Released on January 31, 2008 for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360, Devil May Cry 4 (DMC4) leads the pack in the "stylish action" genre, having already racked up approximately 2.3 million sales. The game takes its place as one of Capcom's many million-selling hit titles. About 6.9 million games in the Devil May Cry series have been sold in the past. Including the new release, sales will soon reach 10 million—evidence of the incredible popularity of this series.
The producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, explained that the worldwide market was their target all through the series, which explains the use of English dialog and why non-Japanese actors were used in the motion capture recordings. Capcom has offices in North America and Europe, and the team made full use of this network in creating a game with a global perspective that took into account differences in language and culture.
