Capcom: Will only port Street Fighter if it does well on Switch?

My thinking is the exact opposite. People may buy USFII since SFV has been a disappointment.

Anywho, Capcom has been on a remaster frenzy. They haven't even added SF content to X1 BC. So I anticipate USFII on PS4/X1 eventually.

Street Fighter V was only a disappointment because it wasnt delivered as a full package. Capcom followed Microsofts method of rushing the sale and building up the game as they went along. Problem is the game came at a $60 price tag. Killer Instinct was free and eventually was much cheaper.

I think SFV has failed to deliver in numerous ways. You get little content with the retail game, too much grinding for unlocks, microtransactions, season passes are over priced time savers, the long awaited story mode was mediocre, etc. The gameplay is fine, but its essentially SFIV with tweaks to the average player.

Killer Instinct benefitted from low expectations and that allowed them to do basically whatever they wanted. The F2P strategy was good because it got a lot of people trying it and it was only $20 for Season 1. The old KI games is basically just enjoyed by the nostalgic so KI 2013 didn't have much to live up to, it just needed to be good.

I have a theory that Capcom saw what was happening with KI, but the only ideas they borrowed were releasing an incomplete product and pushing expensive microtransactions. Buying a season of KI is cheaper than SFV's essentially time saver season passes, its ridiculous.
