Yeah... capcom has kinda got.... issues lol but u figure that 1. our economy is so shakey right now (well if you're in the US) and 2. capcom has more loyalties to their japanese market then the rest of us... soo in short... they make a quick buck off of us while making the REAL gambles and market decision with the home base and eastern regions where their chances of success are higher... it's kinda like... will you risk losing a quarter million in profit with the chance of gaining approx. 300,000 (i.e. the rough US estimate of monster hunter consumers.)  where you could sell them the flashy, gorey, 1080p "hardcore" games at an unreasonable price that most microsoft and sony fans will throw away for and instead focus core franchises and effort in a market where they KNOW they can at least make quota?

Granted that not ALL the games they give us are throw away and forgetable titles... apparently RE:R really made bank with both japanese and US markets but we haven't seen monster hunter since mh3 and ironically enough... the biggest junction in both market and interests as the harsh flow of 3rd party developers finally trickled to a stop for wii and the launch of the 3ds and teasers of "project cafe" showed the end of this gen and that more people woulde be interested in all the call-of-killzone-battlefield-duty crap... i mean..what do we get... RE:R... mercenaries, Dragon's dogma (more like dragon's dog-ass!) and lost planet 3? no mh3g... no megaman legends 3 (although I suspect the megaman developers had cold feet) just a bunch of flashy.. blood spurting games riddled with curses and "hardcore" action sequences.
