Seriously, why do people think the two different versions of the series are competing with each other? Ugh. Like, how freakin stupid....whatever.
Man, it's time for you to face it. There are two universes of Devil May Cry. And not enough resources to keep em both going at the same time. One of the two has to be cast aside (at least temporarily) while the other gets the funding to continue.
Capcom themselves are even equipping DMC4 SE (only the JP version, as far as I know) with a survey to decide the future of the franchise.
Ok if you don't like it, but that's the situation. And you can blame Capcom for that.
