IGN questioned Svensson on the sales of the PC port of Devil May Cry 4, bringing up the fact that previous PC ports of Capcom games have not turned out well and that the Devil May Cry 4 PC port was released several months after the console versions shipped. They also questions why the game, along with Lost Planet Colonies, were not made available for digital distribution, which Svensson admitted, " I'm not completely clear on the reasons to this day." He did say upcoming Capcom games like Dark Void, Bionic Commando, and our favorite game title of 2008 Age of Booty, will be made available via digital download when they are released.

Interesting read but it didn't really clarify a whole lot. I do very much appreciate their push for PC gaming though. Capcom is pretty new to the format so I expect to see 'oversights' like DMC4 not being on Steam just being a temporary growing pain while they get gain their footing on the platform.
BTW, I forget where but I recently read that a Capcom rep let slip in an interview that RE5 PC is all but official. Makes sense. It's being developed on the PC, all (or at least most) the previous numbered RE games made it to the PC, and all the other major Capcom games in the works are PC bound.
