It's baffling they gave Dead Rising another shot recently, and are still making Ace Attorney games every now and then, but have effectively killed Mega Man, their fourth biggest franchise (and quite far from ther fifth). That's Capcom for you ladies and gentlemen.

Take into account that it took Mega Man 30 years and 130 titles to get to 30m, something that Monster Hunter surpassed in about 10 years and with 100 less titles.

Dead Rising and Ace Attorney are still infant series compared to Mega Man of course the numbers are lower, yet the average DeadRising/Ace Attorney averages better than the average Mega Man.

Not trying to justify Capcom abandoning the series, but Mega Man was never a big seller, a gaming icon? sure but never a big seller.

You can look at the million seller list, from the dozens of Mega Man games only 4 sold over 1m units.

It was never a big seller, no. But the main series (and the X series naturally) I can imagine are games with very low budgets and, with him being such an icon, there are more than enough people that will buy these games, making them profitable.

You just don't kill your goddamn MASCOT, the guy is not even in MvC3, what the hell?
