DmC is doing horrible when are you going to accept the facts. It won't even make it to their forecasted 1.2M combined and DmC had the same if not more marketing as MGR, pop outs in Gamestop, online and there was even a trailer shown before the latest Resident Evil movie. Absence of 5 years, bigger series, marketing, brand power, oh please enough just deal with it it flopped. Capcom has been silent for a month now while Kojima is already talking about a sequel, is over for DmC only Platinum can revive the series since Inaba is doing his dream game Dragon's Dogma 2.

Lol. Whatever you say its fine, but don't try and force me to accept your opinions. We all have our own opinions on sales, how they are achieved and we are each entitled to those opinions.

If you can't accept I think differently to you thats not my problem. Your going to have to deal with the fact everyone here is entitled to an opinion on the sales of the game, and why they are what they are.

And since when was it good for a 5 hour long game (MGR) to sell so many copies. Is making short games and charging full price for them the standard industry practice we want?

Celebrating spending $60 on a brand new game and finishing it within 5 hours is not an achievement I care to share.

Like I said I have my reasons for believing DmC was not as successful as it could've been, either way I see a lot of people who enjoyed the game, and I see a lot of videos on youtube of fans playing the game. Thats good enough for me.

I'm not trying to change your opinion of the quality of the game I don't care if you like it or not thats subjective but you can't have opinion on sales facts and the fact is Capcom spend a lot of money on DmC, is a AAA game done by an outside studio, uses unreal engine instead of MT framework which would have been free, NT hired the same studio who did the Avatar mocap (from LA), it had a solid marketing effort and the whole point of the change was to gather more sales not less. Its a commercial flop, a commercial failure, it killed the franchise.

"Celebrating spending $60 on a brand new game and finishing it within 5 hours is not an achievement I care to share."

Then don't do it I'm not trying to sell you MGR, I don't care if it is 5 hours since they are 5 hours of fun for me (like Vanquish) and a lot of replay just for the fun of it. FF13 and GTA4 gave me 50 hours of boredom.
