dark void and bionic commando were not bad games, but they were not marketable, especially dark void. Lost planet on the other hand suffered from the first one IMO, it wasn't that good. Too bad i liked LP2 better than those other games.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Different expectations for different series, naturally. Was Microsoft not happy with Gears 2, since it didn't sell as well as Halo 3? And besides, Capcom's also happy with SSF4, it beat expectations. |
The OP said they were unhappy with SSFIV. Reading the article now, it didn't exactly say that.
While Gears didn't sell like Halo, it still sold incredibly well. You can't say that about TvC. I'm reluctant to say it even sold well.
Anyhow, I just wanted to point out Capcom only claimed to be happy with first week sales. They never said anything about where its at now.

I like Capcom but they haven't exactly been to innovative lately. Oh well lets just hope for huge sales on Marvel vs Capcom 3

You keep repeating that, but that doesn't make you right. http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=119628 - April 6th is over 2 months after TVC has come out in the West.

That article doesn't exactly say they are happy with TvC sales.
Hardly matters, future support will show how happy they are I suppose.

I personally think Capcom are happy with TvC considering the hurdles it had to get over
1. It was on a different platform to many of Capcom's other fighters
2. In the West Tatsunoko isn't well known (I'm even relatively knowledgable about anime and I hadn't heard of them; I had heard of the likes of Gatachaman, Yatterman and Karas, just not Tatsunoko themselves)
3. Basically no adverts at all
4. Wasn't there a cock up involving shops being understocked with TvC, here in the U.K?
5. Coming out not too long before SSFIV
Don't get me wrong, I would have loved TvC to sell 2x as much, and I expected about 500-600k sales combined, but given the above hurdles, I think it did well.

Well let's continue with facts, not with how you like to interpret things... - 2 weeks later (as in 3 months after the game has come out), a Destructoid interview with Seth Killian: http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-talks-the-vs-series-past-present-and-future-172108.phtml
"[Tatsunoko Vs Capcom] certainly beat the initial expectations. It didn't set any land speed records, but it was a success."
As to future support, given their track record that won't necessarily show how happy they were. RE 4 was a success and so was Umbrella Chronicles, they claimed Umbrella was supposed to be a test case for future full featured RE on the Wii, yet the only thing that happened eventually was yet another on rails RE, and that after the Wii has been skipped over with the "real" RE version (RE5). So no.

We're talking about Wii here. Where's that RE4 follow up again? ;)

Bear in mind, I didn't say TvC bombed. Safe bet it wasn't a financial blow for Capcom. I just don't think Capcom is happy with the numbers. They tested the Wii's water, the response was very modest.
Here's the thing about RE4. How much do you think it cost them to port it to the Wii? Probably very little. I imagine porting a game from the Gamecube to the Wii is a pretty simple job for developers.
Now porting RE5 to the Wii? That seems like a much more difficult job. More importantly, a much more expensive job. Hence, All the money they would have to spend in development surely means it'll be less profitable than RE4.
In a nutshell. Putting RE4 on the Wii was cheap. RE5 would be much more expensive, risky, and likely less profitable.

Well, considering that Capcom doesn't have any more Wii games coming up, we will see how going HD only fares. Capcom has officially stopped developing Wii games, or at least that's how it looks like.
Will probably go well for them, since they mostly gave the Wii the scraps and those never sell well. Won't make a difference if they support the Wii or not.
