Capcom’s Platinum Hits Triple Pack has arrived in retail.

The Xbox 360 pack includes Lost Planet: Colonies Edition, Devil May Cry 4, and Dead Rising for $39.99.

Even if you have at least one of those games, it’s still a decent deal coming in at $13 per game.

Check your local retailers to see if it’s available in your area yet, if not, there is always GameStop.

Capcom UK’s just told VG247 that the 360 Platinum Triple Pack announced overnight won’t be releasing in Europe.

“It’s US-only,” said a rep.

The set includes Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition – Colonies Edition and Devil May Cry 4 for a stupidly awesome $40.

It’s releasing on September 8. In America. Curses.

Dead Rising; Lost Planet: Extreme Condition – Colonies Edition; Devil May Cry 4; for Xbox 360 – in one pack. For $40. On September 8.

Sounds great. But that dollar symbol means this is “American”. Will it happen in Europe? Only Capcom knows. Capcom’s asleep in the UK at the moment. But we’ll be right up its pipe when it gets out of bed.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Capcom just announced that the Devil May Cry series has passed the 10 million unit shipped mark.

Since the franchise hit the scene in 2001 it’s sold like hotcakes, with the latest iteration, Devil May Cry 4, selling 2.2 million copies, a record for the series.

Can’t keep a good demon hunter down it seems.

Press release through the jump.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson’s well aware that the PC version of Devil May Cry 4′s being torrented. We know. Because he said so on Capcom’s blog.

“I’m not sure about how Capcom in general feels, but [DMC4 PC is] not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail,” he said.

“It’s such a good version and it really deserves better sales. I know it’s getting pirated to hell and back (it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped).”

More through the link, including the possibility of online delivery for future Capcom PC releases.

EA Partners will distribute the PC version Devil May Cry 4 in Asia, GI writes.

“Capcom Asia believes that Electronic Arts’ strength in marketing and retail distribution will make the game an even bigger hit in Asia where PC gaming is widely popular,” said Hiroshi Tobisawa, director of Capcom.

Chris Thompson, VP and general manager for EA Asia chimes in: “Devil May Cry is an internationally acclaimed franchise with a strong following and we are very excited to distribute this successful franchise in Asia.”

DMC4 was a number one hit in the UK.

Capcom’s released the PC demo for Devil May Cry 4. It’s on Gamespot.

According to the gumph, “The high resolution screen settings allow the cut scenes of the game to run at up to 120 frames per second (up from 30 frames per second in the console version of the game). Slider options are available to manage various visual effects seen throughout the game. Devil May Cry 4 for the PC will have both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 modes, and will also be compliant with the Games For Windows program.”

The demo includes ten minutes of play, a boss fight and a benchmarker. Get it: it’s free.

Capcom’s announced that the PC version of Devil May Cry 4 will ship this summer with two new modes – Turbo mode and Legendary Dark Knight mode – and some additional content. There’s going to be a demo as well, apparently.

According to this, Capcom’s claiming 2 million worldwide sales for Devil May Cry 4. The game has now shipped in all territories.

The game is the fastest-selling in the entire series, with sales accounting for a quarter of all 9 million Devil May Cry games sold in the franchise’s seven-year-old series.

Sega will be pleased. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on DS is top of the UK all-formats this week, with The Club debuting in tenth position. Here’s the list:

1. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
2. Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
3. Turok (Disney)
4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision)
5. Wii Play (Nintendo)
6. FIFA 08 (EA)
7. Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training (Nintendo)
8. Burnout Paradise (EA)
9. The Simpsons Game (EA)
10. The Club (Sega)

Capcom will be smiling this morning at news that DMC4 has made it to the top of the UK chart, with previous number one Burnout Paradise drifting down to fourth. Turok’s also put in a decent debut performance, coming in third. And way to go PDC World Championship Darts 2008: we never knew you had it in you.

1. Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
2. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
3. Turok (Touchstone)
4. Burnout Paradise (EA)
5. Wii Play (Nintendo)
6. PDC World Championship Darts 2008 (Oxygen Interactive)
7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision)
8. Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training (Nintendo)
9. The Club (Sega)
10. FIFA 2008 (EA)

So says this. Capcom’s confirmed that as of last Saturday, more than a million people have downloaded the Devil May Cry 4 demo from Xbox Live. The game’s doing very well in Japan, although it’s been somewhat overshadowed by Super Smsh Bros. Brawl, and we’re likely to see an equally decent performance in the UK this week.

Capcom has raised full-year revenue and profit forecasts by 9.5 percent and 20 percent respectively. The firm now expects to make 11.5 billion yen profit from sales of 81.6 billion yen. We’d convert that into pounds for you, but it’s too many zeros for this time of day.

Devil May Cry 4 is the star of Capcom’s show this year, and is now expected to sell 1.9 million units before fiscal 2008 ends on March 31, a slight increase on the previous estimate of 1.8 million units.

Goodo. Hopefully we can start thinking about Devil May Cry 5, now. The very swish looking action game’s out for PS3 and Xbox 360 this week in Europe as well, so you don’t have to be American to be excited. Press release full of Devil May Cry going to stores stuff after the link.

This is just funny. According to this, a Future journalist bothered to time how long it took to install Devil May Cry 4 onto his PS3 hard drive, coming up with a final of 21 minutes and 41 seconds. To add insult to injury, the installation didn’t make “any significant” difference to load times compared to the Xbox 360 version. Both versions release this Friday in Europe.

Hardly surprising, but according to this, the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4 has outsold the Xbox 360 SKU by almost five to one in Japan in its first day in stores. The title managed 140,000 copies sold on PS3, compared to 30,000 on Xbox 360.

The game launches in Europe on February 8, the PlayStation 3 version being comedically £10 more than the Xbox 360 outing in the UK. Capcom recently put the difference down to retailer policy.

You can’t not want this. The video below has Dante being hilariously violent while a Japanese man warbles like he means it. That alone should mean you’re playing it already. From here. Devil May Cry 4 releases for both Xbox 360 and PS3 next week.
