| Mr Khan said: Capcom's shakier financial position likely has much to do with it. Either that or the disappointing results from SFxT causing them to draw back on fighting games altogether. Trouble is, if they stop doing fighting games, what exactly do they have left? |
I agree, had they done better last year with SFxT, RE6, DmC and other games, we'd probably hearing them take a bigger chance but for now, Capcom probably thinks the fighting game craze is drying up and pulling up stakes like they did with the Mega Man retro games when they warranted a brief revival. The head of the Street Fighter development team, said to one outlet, Ultra SF4 with its reusing of characters and stages from SFxT is basically all they can afford right now.
The Capcom higher ups are probably wanting their internal teams to focus on game the Western mainstream audience are likely to purchase.
