You're probably right, and while Capcom have an IP library that's strong enough where you could reasonably expect much form them, their numbers outside of Monster Hunter just do not back up these expectations. They should take a page from Nintendo's book where it comes to budget managements, and do some smaller projects that will turn a healthy profit at 500k instead of trying to force each of their games to be 2 million at least or not worth doing. Devil May Cry 5 has the same expectation now, and while it has a much more realistic shot of hitting that target than Dead Rising 4 or Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite did, it's still very far from a sure thing, specially with how much of the DmC aesthetic they seem to have maintained.

Yupp. And considering that DmC had a 5 million LT target and barely scraped by the 2 million mark, I wonder how much are they expecting this one to perform and how much will it undelivered. 

regardless, seeing the risk/expected reward Capcom is willing to take, some old IPs like Darkstalker and Maximo might never see the light of day again :(

It's sad, because Capcom have the 2nd strongest IP library in gaming next to Nintendo in my opinion, but they've consistently mismanaged so many of them, and they refuse to do any non-blockbuster IPs besides Ace Attorney, so most of their great series are left in the dust...
