Capcom CEO Tsujimoto Kenzo has told Bloomberg he expects online and mobile games to “[contribute] to the company's expected sales tripling by 2010 and to increase five- to six-fold by 2012”, reports Beyond3D referencing Bloomberg. “Outlining the strategy for global expansion more clearly, Tsujimoto said: “First we have to cross our boundaries regarding mobile and PC games. After that, we will switch over to a full-blown expansion.”...In line with this strategy Capcom acquired the Canadian company Cosmic Infinity, a move which a catapulted Capcom’s mobile games division from the 60th rank in that field to the tenth biggest mobile games developer worldwide, according to the company itself.”
