Capcom is a 3rd party.  They are neither Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo.  And $40 million is $10 million less than what Microsoft paid for 1 year exclusivity of 2 GTA IV expansion packs.  That might be alot to Capcom (who hasn't been doing very stellar lately), but the big 3 deal with far, far more money.

Yeah, but why are you only talking about the three console owners again?
The only reason to care about this isn't if it leads to the annihilation of any of the consoles. Losing out on actual console games is a good reason to care, when the console games would have been ambitious titles, and the mobile games are shallow money grabs

I would think it's obvious.  The big 3 have a vested interest in keeping their consoles/handhelds relevant, which they can enforce via their 1st parties.  3rd parties are under no such constraints, nor do they face severe financial impact if the consoles/handhelds flounder/fail.
