Comment of the game producer
We are very pleased that you chose [Devil May Cry 4] as an excellent prize of Japan Game Grand Prix 2008.
What we wanted to take it's valuable in this series is to offer a new play that series fan can enjoy, and also obtain new users at this devil 4. We think that we could have solved these two contradicting elements with "new chief character Nero". As a result, we were able to show and prove that we had enough chance to do business in a next generation machine market in our own country as well.
We take pride in having been able to have a big influence on the game industry in this matter. Fortunately, we could release the PC version all over the world the other day, and we have finished the [Devil 4 project] without accident.
We report that we could achieve the whole world shipment by the number of 2,400,000. We appreciate to all of you who voted for us.
