The same thing happened recently with RE6 with the sales dwindling after its initial launch.
There could be various factors for this
1.bad pr
2.Divided fanbase
3.People lost interest
That would be too reasonable and smart. People want hard results now!! Don't you know anything about gamer culture??? It's all about being impatient, bitching about everything and overreacting.Welp, as for the sales go, I think people are kinda overreacting.
It hasn't really been a complete month yet and people are freaking out if this game will get good sales. it hasn't been 2 complete weeks yet either. I say we should start analyzing sale numbers after around 2 months have passed, or at least until after the DLC for Vergil/Bloody Palace comes out.
IM OUTWhat if DmC fails and they later a make a Beach Volleyball game of Devil May Cry, and we have to pick out bikini's for Dante!?
meg come to gamefaqs forums, not so many blind fanboysUm.....okay? I'd ask how but if I'm really on your ignore list then I guess I'll never know.
So if someone else wants to tell me, that would be great. Because I don't get it.

...So Speedos and Pizza cover for Dante vergil and nero for the ladies and tinnie winnie bikinis for Lady, Kyrie, trish and Kat(and lucia) for the guys?
That would sell platnium in two days, and you know it.
XD And it can have that silly catchy theme song. "Bah-duh-bum bah-duh-bum" while they all play volleyball together, and have that odd butt battle thing where they have to knock the other person off into the water o.o
Oh lord, WHAT MONSTER HAVE WE CREATED!?

I hope the series doesn't die after the 1st game, if it does then Ninja Theory will likely be out of business, and the horrid fans of the originals would've 'won'..
If this is true, and the haters spread enough of a disinformation to cause this...then I have a message.
Congradulations; you may have just murdered the entire franchise. Hope you are happy.
There are some of us who would rather see this series die then go in this direction take that as you will.Some people will learn to let go will you?

if the series had a proper send of, yes. If it dies out because of stubborn children who refuse to accept change or an attempt to take a different spin on things, then that's a horrible death. Just imagine what would have happened if, when Nolan rebooted Batman, the fans continued to stay stubborn and call it "horrible" just because it was trying to revitalize the series with a fresh spin; there would be no Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises. This is not "wipe the slate, DMC series never existed", this is like New Trek or the Marvel Ultimates; Revamping as another universe to play with and try different ideas.
If this dies, it IS the result of people who say "will you let go", when they in fact CANNOT "let go".
I'm not seeing how this has to do with anything I said but I agree.The thing is, even if Devil May Cry as a series ceases to be, it's not like the game designers who made it will pop out of existence. They'll spread out into the industry, influence others and evolve as creative individuals to bring better games into the world. God knows that just by existing DMC has had a profound effect on the industry over the last ten years, and the people who grew up loving them will inevitably become game designers themselves.
Memes don't die. They hibernate.

I think this thread is going to breed the exact kind of reaction you just had. Blaming poor sales on "the haters" is just going to perpetuate this flame war that Capcom started in the first place to cause controversy among the fans to sell the damn game in the first place. The game's out there and it can now perform however well, on it's own merits. If it doesn't sell well, than maybe Capcom should rethink the next time they want to reboot the series and do it in a more respectful way to the fans.If this is true, and the haters spread enough of a disinformation to cause this...then I have a message.
