SAN MATEO, Calif. -- February 5, 2008 -- Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the highly anticipated Devil May Cry® 4 for Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft has begun shipping to retail.
