Recently,new companies are launching their home consoles/videogames,just like our very well-known Microsoft and its Xbox (and originally,Linux and its Indrema,but it failed) . Some years ago,Sony was also a beginner with its PlayStation . Other companies include Sega (Dreamcast,Saturn and the great Mega Drive),Nintendo (GameCube,Super NES and others) and even SNK and its Neo Geo,not a best-selling console but it still provides lots of fun .
Right,now I was thinking : what would happen if Capcom decided to release its own console ? Sure,it's just a thought (I doubt Capcom would do it),but I think it would be quite good . You see,SNK is as good as Capcom,and the Neo Geo is a great console,but SNK just had problems with money and they aren't very popular out of Japan . Capcom,however,has a good financial situation (at least I think so,since they always have great sales) and it's very popular in the whole world . So ... would it be a successful videogame or a total disaster ? Please,post here your opinions !
That's all . Bye !! ^_^ @_@
I can be any person in the world...Maybe I'm this person right in front of you...or not!

Didn't Capcom once test out the waters with a home system? I believe they were partnered with another company or something but my memory is a bit foggy on that subject which is strange since it seems I usually have no trouble remembering the most trivial crap in the world. Maybe somebody else remembers hearing something about that. But to do a slightly better job of answering your question, I don't think that Capcom could do very well with it's own console. Most console makers operate on a loss when it comes to selling consoles and make the money up on games, license fees, and what have you. [Want to stick it to Microsoft? Buy an Xbox but don't buy anything for it!] Unless the public and, to a lesser extent, game publishers, love your system you're either going to have a good system that loses you money like the DC or get stuck with an old system you can't upgrade since you don't have the money to invest in new hardware like the MVS. I would love to have a Capcom dedicated home system but for now that's more or less what my Sega Saturn is.
