Oh sorry, I didn't realise you had access to Capcom's internal information. Alternatively if you don't, why make such assertive statements without any knowledge?

Piracy is also an issue faced by EVERY game on the PC, so that doesn't affect the fact that DMC4 has sold poorly in relation to other PC games.
Has it? I don't recall Capcom saying that was the reason they think it had been pirated.

Yes they put effort into porting DMC4 but i'm afraid it's too little too late, all the effort in the world means nothing when it's 5 months late
I'm not understanding you here - you want them to put more effort into something but at the same time you can't abide it taking longer.. how on earth do you expect them to use their effort then? Putting more effort into development means you take longer on it, unless you are doing something weird like quadrupling your dev team. They are putting up with 'extra effort and reduced profit margins' - that's exactly the cost of developing for the PC. To be honest 5 months is an astonishingly small delay when you compare the complexities.

Or are you one of these people that wants games to be held up after completion so that you have a simultanious release cross platforms?
