If the base package is as bare bones as RE7 then they can seriously go and fuck themselves.

That's really bad for Marvel, I guess this maybe the last time we see a MVC game.

Good show from Pokken. Wasn't expecting much from a rerelease that wasn't Mario Kart, but I guess people really wanted those arcade characters.
Woof for MvCI. Goes to show that Story Modes only do so much. Gotta have the full package of a great roster and a game that doesn't look like shit as well.

Doubtfull. They haven't been doing much for SFV either. It's one thing to watch. it's another to go out and buy.
Then why isn't DBXV in the chart? And who cares if it did chart above the X1 version when the overall sales would still be terrible. Publishers aren't worried about charting they care about sales.

DBXV2 was kind of a stealth release on switch here in the west.
There wasn't much noise made around it and after DBZF more people probably just want that rather than playing some old news.

Because it's a port of a game that came out last year at full price? We are comparing ports to day one releases now?
Also why the fuck did Pokken, Infinite and Xenoverse all release the same week?
SFV had two great EVOs and it still hasn't hit 2 million sales as far as I know. It's not like Dota or LoL where a big tournament can get people to log in.

Capcom was probably handcuffed to the Infinity Gems concept due to the MCU and Disney controlling the license now. This is a glorified Infinity Wars: The Game which means this game will be supported through the 4th Avengers movie in 2019. That's why its being called Infinite and not 4. All the DLC characters (like Miles) are probably done and hidden in the file system meaning they don't have to re-tool the game later on.
In 2020, you might get a new game fighting game based on the all new Marvel landscape.

First impressions are everything, though. The image on the left appeared on the story mode trailer at Sony's E3 conference. The one on the right is the "final" version.
Why couldn't Capcom just put more effort into making a better impression than just saying "fuck it, just show what we got right now"? The world may never know...

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
This franchise is dead.
The funniest thing about this is that they're both Bandai Namco games.
Of course charting matters. THe switch userbase is minuscule compared to xbone and PS4. Buying power of the switch userbase can be interpreted as stronger the publishers games are charting well at this phase, and can only improve as the switch userbase grows.

Monster Hunter World better sell a lot
That's quite the leap in logic, especially when dataminers found no traces of disc-locked DLC characters beyond the Story Mode models for Black Panther, Monster Hunter, & Sigma.
After the KoFXIV fiasco, one could have thought Capcom would avoid this mistake...
But they made it anyway...
I think it had more to do with the huge amount of negative press the game had, and the fact DBZ basically took so much of MVC's thunder with people gravitating towards it instead of MVC.
There are no such models in the game right now since the cut-scenes are entirely FMV even. What happened was that someone working at Capcom leaked a list of in-production files.

Yep, first impressions matter.
Capcom should have done a better job with the game... sigh

The WOM for this game was positively toxic. Even as someone who's been down on Capcom for a while, I've never seen anything this bad and this unanimous pre-launch before.
The quintuple whammy of the roster leak, its horrible E3 story demo, terrible graphics, that disastrous "functions" "most people don't know who the X-Men are" interview, and DB FighterZ' announcement destroyed the game. That stench followed it wherever it went and Capcom made no attempt to ever fix that. It seemed telling they basically gave up on marketing it afterward.
The game really had no business launching in 2017. Whether it was their own pride, financial/contractual obligations or what, they did anyway, and they have to reap the results of that inability to actually address the numerous problems with the game.

This game bombing means nothing, they clearly put no money into its development and had low expectations to begin with. Every other MvC has had lack luster sales and it keeps on getting sequels anyway. The FGC will certainly be keeping this game going for years to come as Capcom continues to profit off dlc and esports.
You mean the .zip leak. The only other "in production" leak was the one on Reddit that's likely BS.
MvC3 actually sold well IIRC

It has the same expectations SFV had
That's what I mean.
Marvel has a part in this too. Given their mobile game exploits I could very easily see them taking their fighting game business elsewhere.

I wonder if the X-Men ban could be resolved in the upcoming years.
So we could play as Magneto in Injustice 3: Marvel vs DC Universe (Featuring Johnny Cage, Mileena, Kano, and Spawn)

The X-Men part of the ban was already resolved not too long ago, but the change was too late for MvCI. The main problem now is with the Fantastic Four.

After SF5/MvC3/SFxT data mining, I assume that Capcom took extra precautions to hide stuff.
