| Resident_Hazard said: Of course Capcom is going to claim a success on TvC. To say otherwise would be to badmouth sales of a Wii game, Nintendo fans, or Nintendo; and Nintendo's seriously disturbed fans always hit the internet in droves crying foul to the hills against anyone who dares say a negative thing about anything Nintendo. Look at the way those very fans bombarded the internet as though personally offended when one single person from Capcom claimed Street Fighter IV wouldn't fit into the system and "couldn't be played on the Wii." |
Well, your TvC conspiracy theory seems a bit farfetched considering (1) Capcom has had no problem voicing discontent over low performing Wii titles in the past (Zack & Wiki, Spyborgs, RE DarkSide Chronicles, etc) and (2) Capcom haven't just claimed success with TvC, they said it was outright exceeding their expectations. It's also outperforming all previous retail Versus titles in the west, and with arguably the least appealing brand partnership (Tatsunoko, versus Marvel or SNK) yet for the series . I doubt Capcom's afraid of Wii diehards (their history certainly implies otherwise) and by all accounts TvC really is doing well fall things considered... frankly, I'm a little unsure why exactly you'd think they were being disingenuous here? If sales didn't meet their expectations and they actually were worried about upsetting the base, it's far more likely they'd just say nothing at all, no?
