My original point was that the DMC brand name is weak regardless of quality. What's the purpose in adding extra crtiera?
I said plenty of resident Evil games have sold less than 2 million throughout the years, you claimed it was BS. I showed you various sources showing those numbers.
Yeah, that's why DMC4 sold more than Donte must Cry, huh?
Fact: Capcom OVER estimated how popular action games are in the world.
Fact: Capcom then tried to reinvent their only action game franchise to "appeal to the west."
Fact: ...That didn't work.
Fact: Capcom THEN revised their over-inflated worth to try to save face.
Fact: ...Gamers still didn't want the game. They wanted DMC5.
Fact: "I didn't ask for this." -Gamers to DINO/Donte.
Fact: This is known.gif with these sales.
No one asked for Donte, they wanted Uncle Dante May Cry 5. The
character and systems are more important to people than story, and it readily shows.
Capcom done fucked up by outsourcing their IP's to western studios that couldn't nail what made people want said IP's in the first place. Or they fucked up development by trying to "appeal to the Western world" (see: Bio6). It's readily apparent Capcom doesn't have that ability and should go back to focusing on what they do best: "Japanese"-y games that appeal to niches and sell decently but not at "Call of Duty" numbers they want.
So:
-Make DMC5
-Make Biohazard 6 with Mikami by throwing money at him to do it and retcon Bio5-6.
-Take a hot dump on Ninja Theory and Donte must Cry 2, thereby saving themselves from further disappointment.
-Also take a dump on Lost Planet 3 being out-sourced. That's going to bomb just as hard as Donte did, even moreso since it looks NOTHING like the previous two games for the small and loyal niche that Lost Planet 1-2 had.
-Stop fucking outsourcing and chasing the western dollar, that's clearly not working with the exception of Dead Rising.
