Edit: Oh look what I found! A statement from Capcom's site that they value Mega Man!

(as of December 31, 2013)

With focus on delivering quality products to a wider audience base, Capcom has strived diligently to create innovative and exciting sequels to existing popular franchises to increase consumer opportunities and to strengthen its revenues.

One of Capcom's many popular franchises, "Mega Man", which was first released in 1987, has seen numerous popular sequels and a plethora of merchandise which has established it as one of the premier franchises in all of video games.

 

There's sales data too! As it turns out, of all Capcom's franchises, the only ones that have sold more are Resident Evil and Street Fighter! But of course, they're dead too, right?

Their actions to it speak differently compared to a PR statement ... 

You asked for a statement, I gave you one. As I said, there's sales data too, straight from Capcom to back up their PR statement. They have it as their third most sold franchise, and recognize it as their most prestigious franchise.

And how many megaman games were there ? Having hundreds of games with less than 50 000 units for each does not make it a successful franchise. It's too bad that their statement doesn't match their actions ...
