I mean that did happen, that is why SF5 is console exclusive to PS4 and Capcom wasn't in the best financial shape at the start of the gen.

Games don't get made unless the developers have the money to make them. Any potential success SFV had would have been meaningless until Capcom had the money to make the game in the first place.  Capcom didn't have enough money to make SFV and pay its employees and keep the lights on. Sony stepped in and bankrolled SFV with the obvious expectation that it would not show up on Xbox One, Wii U, or Switch, at least until x number of years had passed.

I doubt that Platinum similarly has the money to make W101 on its own. That said, that point is moot. Until Nintendo relinquishes its rights to W101, it ain't happening.

If you both actually believe that Capcom couldn't afford to make another Street Fighter game while still able to fund RE7 and Monster Hunter Worlds.. than I wouldn't know what to tell you. Street Fighter is one of Capcom's biggest IPs and money makers while it also probably wouldn't cost as much to make as RE7 and MH Worlds. SFV didn't exactly set the world on fire yet Capcom still managed to fund future titles. 

Uhhh, yeah... they didn't have the money at the time. You don't seem to comprehend the fact that Capcom at the beginning of the 8th gen was in pretty poor shape at the time. There were even articles on Capcom's poor finances at the time warning that its cash reserves were dangerously low. SFV may not have lit the world on fire, but with Sony's help, it did make Capcom enough money to get back on its feet. You can argue about it all you want, but the facts are the facts.
