The OP said they were unhappy with SSFIV. Reading the article now, it didn't exactly say that

Anyhow, I just wanted to point out Capcom only claimed to be happy with first week sales. They never said anything about where its at now.

You keep repeating that, but that doesn't make you right.  http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=119628 - April 6th is over 2 months after TVC has come out in the West.

That article doesn't exactly say they are happy with TvC sales.

Hardly matters, future support will show how happy they are I suppose.

I personally think Capcom are happy with TvC considering the hurdles it had to get over

1.  It was on a different platform to many of Capcom's other fighters

2. In the West Tatsunoko isn't well known (I'm even relatively knowledgable about anime and I hadn't heard of them; I had heard of the likes of Gatachaman, Yatterman and Karas, just not Tatsunoko themselves)

3.  Basically no adverts at all

4. Wasn't there a cock up involving shops being understocked with TvC, here in the U.K?

5.  Coming out not too long before SSFIV

 

Don't get me wrong, I would have loved TvC to sell 2x as much, and I expected about 500-600k sales combined, but given the above hurdles, I think it did well.
