Capcom games are popular on consoles/PC too. SNK's aren't
Jeremiah Ortiz
SNK over saturated there own market and didn't invest into console focused games.
This too

They had games that were for consoles.

Capcom wasn't limited to two games.

crapclown embraced casuals, while snk just gave up
...snk did have a last hurrah with KoFXIII... but, with the casual shitnami already having drowned the pastime and applicable game genre, it was too little, too late

How long 'til SNK go bankrupt for a third time?
Isaiah Cook
with chink's owning it, they won't... and if they do, it will be little more than a transfer of all their IP's to the chink, to exploit

SNK ONLY made arcade games.
Capcom has been mostly console centric ever since the NES.
Ryan Lewis
SNK made arcade games mostly.
Cacpom made Console games mostly.
Consoles beat arcades tush capcom won.

Lack of evolving technology, I would say. The NeoGeo was convenient but by 1999, 2000 you were seeing games that looked very similar to games released four or five years prior because the NeoGeo had reached the apex of its ability.

SNK didnt survive, they went bankrupt twice.

If you ask me all SNK needed to do was use a better CD drive isnted of the shit 1 speed one.
And make more impressive 2d RPGs or Platformers to attract a wider audience.
Japan still liked 2d back then.

Capcom got roughly 90% of the profits made by then Vs. SNK titles (CvS1, CvS2). SNK barely made that money back from the card games, plus Chaos sucked.
With the majority of the KOF team leaving after 99, Fatal Fury team leaving sometime around Last Blade 2, Playmore buying it etc is what crippled SNK as a whole
They also never transitioned to 3D well like at all. Still haven't to this day lmao

His art for UMVC3 was good, better than how Bengus' art for SFV turned out.

SNKs used to be, but neogeo's success made them kinda full of themselves, they put all their eggs in their own basket, and apparently had no viable plan to move forwards after the hyper64 shit the bed.
Capcom was also making boards and didn't do much better with the CPS3, but unlike SNK, they weren't completely married to it - they were still putting new games out on consoles, and had less trouble moving on to other people's hardware.
Pretty much a lesson in diversification.

update that left mai picture, that's not how she looks like anymore ever since they patched the game, user.
