Or this audience is also bigger than you think, as Team Ninja seems to think it's their most successful title yet, in terms of global and competitive audience. Honoka is more of a joke character than Marie Rose for example, who is really different from the rest of the cast, and Raidou is obviously for old fans, as they said in a lot of interviews.
Playing a bit devil's advocate here, but come on, the focus was on this from the start of this series. Look at Kasumi's iconic outfit, the settings, the evolution of the series... Vanilla DOA5 was going for a different way, some "fans" didn't want of this release, and some of those that didn't want Vanilla (with some good arguments) now have a game that is going back to old ways, but with a different character design, and obviously different a monetization focus, as DLC and F2P proved to be an extremely good choice for their company.
But yeah, would be extremely disappointed if they added new characters in the future. New stages, modes, and obvious costumes? Sure, no problem.
