I feel like the next big one is RE. But no idea who gets 7. Either way, hope Capcom didn't sell cheap because that's millions of copies they're losing.

I had a theory last gen, and I think it holds water. I said this in the wake of PS3 losing exclusive after exclusive. The theory is:

Going multiplatform doesn't "expand the userbase". It "divides the userbase".

GTA: San Andreas (PS2 only): 27M; GTAIV (PS3 and 360): 25M

Tekken 5 (PS2 only): 3.87M; Tekken 6 (PS3 and 360): 3.93M

Final Fantasy X (PS2 only): 8.05M; FFXIII (PS3 and 360): 7.31M

Devil May Cry (PS2 only): 2.99M; DMC4 (PS3 and 360): 2.86M

Virtua Fighter 4 (PS2 only): 1.81M; Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3 and 360): 1.33M

 

...and you dont think being in different generations (so different variables, markets and times) or the games being on the PS2 had anything to do with it?

It's a pretty small factor tbh. People who were going to buy the game will just buy it on the other platform as long as that platform is the dominant one in the marketplace.
