Lets look at things realisticly here and put personal prefferences aside...
How many AAA new IPs has capcom done since they booted Clover/Mikami? I can think of 2...Dead Rising, Zak and Wiki. I define AAA games as stand out games with great critical reception.
Better yet, how many good games have they done this gen? SF4, Dead Rising, RE5, Zak...anything else?
Every gen before this one Capcom would have a AAA new IP almost every year as well as amazing sequels to their games. I mean, last gen you had Onimusha, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Killer 7, Devil May Cry...
This gen, all they seem to be doing is milking the sequels which were successful in sales. You may not want Mikami to touch another Capcom game, but without RE4, RE5 as it is does not exist.
There obviously is a lack of creativity within that company right now, compared to Capcom standards in the past.
While we look at people that moved on who have made games like Bayonetta, No more Heroes, Madworld and Vanquish(fingers crossed this turns out amazing as it looks). All are great, creative new IPs which would have fit in wonderfully with capcoms future game portfolio...
Otherwise, I am curious what they do at E3. they seem to be very sales oriented so it wouldn't surprise me if we see RE6, DMC5 or SF5... But I hope I'm wrong, and they actually bother making some new stuff which they can milk next gen. :)
