Capcom V.P., Christian Svensson, was on the Unity Boards responding to a question about MvC2's current sales, and if that will have any impact on MvC3 being release in the future.Since Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is obviously selling well, what are the chances of getting Marvel vs. Capcom 3? — Magnetowned
Sven: I've only seen two days of data on one platform. While I'm encouraged by those days, it's way too early to speak to the long term success of MvC2.
Beyond that, I've got no comments about the prospects of an MvC3 at this time. Sorry.
Activision currently holds the Marvel license for some characters up until 2017. But contracts often offer some wiggle room — as evidenced by the recent re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 — but it's hard to say if there will be a big enough loophole to jump through in this case.
But considering the rabid success of fighting games and that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was an extremely popular title, I wouldn't be surprised for these companies to be looking hard at finding a way.
