The timing of the releases between the Japanese and the West for the console version have been more than unfortunate. There have been reports by players who just bought CPEX in West only for CF to be announced in Japan some time later. Going back even further in the franchise that started this trend was the Capcom Sequel Stagnation for CS (CS->CS2->CSEX) and the fact the CP wasn't even supposed to get an EXTEND version at first according to Word of God ticked off many fans who felt that they are being scammed into buying multiple copies of the same installment. So when CF was first announced for consoles, many fans said in the comments section in Youtube to just wait for the EXTEND or a console port to PC, which was often taken as a sign that this is definitely the last game to be released for that particular installment, leading to Mori's statement that there won't be an EXTEND for CF to be taken with a grain of salt, effectively crippling sales in the debut period. Suffice to say, this might be one of the reasons why Arc System Works decided No Dub for You upon console release. Which make you wonder how did franchises that this practice more often didn't get slammed like this.
