Yeah the PC version running horribly seems to have hurt it a lot as a big slice of their audience is there. The game itself was also a letdown to many.

Unless something drastic happens, I'm doubtful it will catch Rise actually; it gained by less than 100k in only its second quarter, and Rise is 7 million ahead.

Between the bad word of mouth and the high pricetag, short term legs being weak isn't a shock. Capcom may be able to fix it with future updates and a major expansion. I doubt they'll just sit and do nothing about their most important title.

Unless the game is fundamentally broken and unsalvageable, I see it passing Rise in the long run, especially if a Switch 2 port is made. Though World and Rise remaining popular after all these years may actually be a hindrance to its growth.

It's possible, but it will need a lot of work.

I'm sceptical there will be a Switch 2 version just cos the game is so horribly unoptimized even on much stronger hardware, like it struggles to hold 30fps on Series S already.
