None of Capcoms IPs were up for sale. Why? Because Capcom didnt want to. Investors have no saying in that. They can make suggestion and threats all they want, but its the company that decides. You invest in a company based on educated guesses, the companys history and reputation, how much you believe in them and their product etc... You are not a Nintendo employee. You are just someone who wants to make money.

Although I don't know where the info on the IP's came from, but Capcom was indeed up for sale in 2014 after major shareholders decided on it.

"Capcom Up For Sale After Shareholders Reject Anti-Takeover Plan.
Capcom announced yesterday that it has not renewed the company’s takeover defense, meaning that it’s now open to buyout from another third party interest. This measure was put in place in 2008 to prevent a third-party takeover from stock purchases, but due to lack of investor interest in renewing the objective, the company is now open to buyout should another company buy a large amount of its stock."

"Since 2008, Japanese developer Capcom has had a takeover defence plan in place to stop the company from being bought out by other parties, and this has been renewed every two years since. It outlined several options for the company should it be faced by a potential large-scale share investor, and one of these options was a "Poison Pill" plan. This would involve the company giving further stock to its pre-existing shareholders to dilute the buying company’s influence on the company. However, this plan also came with a possible scenario that would require the shareholders to buy the stock themselves or face dilution of their shares as well.

Whether it’s down to this scenario or down to Capcom as a company — it isn't clear — it seems that the shareholders aren't happy with something as after a recent shareholders meeting, they have opted not to renew the plan and thus leave the company open to purchase."

Many companies would jump on the chance. Capcom still has the final say if they want to accept what they are offered or not.
