USFII Outsold MCI in its first week UK

[Darashiva]

Should have just released a new port of MvC 2 or 3 instead. Seriously speaking though, I don't get people who say this is a good thing. If Capcom, and by extension other companies, begin to think that it's much more financially sound to just continue rereleasing old titles on new consoles instead of making new games for them we could be looking at a rather unfortunate future for game releases.

Even though MvCI wasn't that well received, it still got much better reviews than the SFII port on the Switch did, so Capcom can also just surmise that the actual quality of the title doesn't really matter in terms of sales. Naturally there are many different factors to take into account with things like that, but it wouldn't be the first time that a video game publisher decides that a certain type of game isn't viable anymore based on some very flimsy reasoning.
