No street fighter for the next gen consoles? What is wrong with CAPCOM already?

This genre doesn’t sell alot of boxes and as far as I know Capcom is almost broke (well, maybe Capcom Japan already is), so it does makes sens in a pure economist point of view… just like it made sense to shut down Studio Liverpool.

I think in both cases the respective company owners are making tremendous mistakes because these games don’t exist for the sole purpose of making profit out of a specific title, they are iconic title (everyone who plays fighting games know what SF is and everyone who plays futuristic racing games know WO) and even if the boxes don’t sell by millions they serve a purpose. So, unless they make terrible sequels (which was not the case with the latest SF nor with the latest WO), there is no way they should stop creating these games.
