It's like leaving your kids with a bad baby sitter if you ask me.

I don't want to beat a dead horse or trash this game or anyone involved... But this is just Shakespearean! |

Regardless of how bad leaving them with a "sitter" was. It still doesn't change the fact that we're still getting a sequel to a DMC that evidently, many people, were unhappy with. Plus, they went from 2 to 1.2 million. This like with FF13 all over again and... this just kills me inside.

^Imho they won't. They just killed the reboot with a buggy game and a DLC ending with Vergil.
Even if they announced they would, I think sales said they cannot risk to lose money again over with NT. I think Ca$hcom might go back to the original series since in Japan sales where sh*t. Hell even DMC-HD is selling better than this one. EDIT Looks like Nero

Could it have to do with the fact that JRPGs sell pretty if not extremely well on their home court? I wonder if that's why they're generally reluctant to send their RPG's overseas since it took a while to confirm a NA port for Xillia.

My guess is, despite the relatively bad sales, they could probably hope for a sequel to sell well if they expect the positive reviews they've got from gaming journalists to have an effect in their favour in the mid-long run, and they could always start some marketing campaign to try to attract potential new customers, and keep exercising some damage control and see if they can have some of the original fans back.

Sometimes it needs to take a break, or a long break. I believe popular franchise won't be forgotten, as I used to give up on a proper Total Annihilation sequel, just to surprised by the Planetary Annihilation project, or with the recently announced Age of Wonders 3. Therefore it's not bad to have a popular title be on hiatus for a while.

I personally think that Capcom has just lost it. They're better off moving on to other IP's. Their current way of handling long standing series they have no idea how to continue is just hurting the overall franchises. By moving on to other IP's they can probably stop getting all the heat from milking stuff that was given to them by talented dev's who've left the company for what it's become. It's a "bad company" either way of choice they make, but by stopping this show of milking series' then at least they can salvage their reputation. Newer IP's aren't doing so well because the content is very very half-baked 90% of the time. They can put in that much effort to a known title and get twice or thrice the sales probably. By working on a new IP and trying to make it sell as high as their famous series' they might be able to create a new legendary product as well as return some form of devotion to quality. As it stands, everything I've said is probably impossible and will be rendered moot and pointless by the internet.
