I do feel the need to point out that Mega Man was never a major franchise. The bestselling game ever in the franchise sold 1.5 million, and that was on the NES in 1988. It was dying ever since the 8-bit era ended, and I wouldn't chalk that one up to Capcom's poor management.

Apply the context of time. Back in the 1980s, a game that sold 250k copies was considered a hit, 500k was great and 1m was fantastic. Mega Man had six games on the NES. That is a major franchise.

It was a major franchise by that time's standards, but it really doesn't fit into the narrative of "Capcom is destroying their major franchises".
