Basically Capcom does not produce good games. Period. All they do is try to over-exploit their existing franchises created by people who knew what they were doing - and they do a poor job of it.
They have some of the most popular franchises around, which doesn't happen if you don't make good games (period). Resident Evil 6 was a disappointment, but SF vs. Tekken is outstanding - if marred by a shitty DLC plan. Dragon's Dogma is still my favorite game I played last year, and was a new IP, not a rehash or exploit of an existing franchise. Monster Hunter still continues to be extremely popular.
Thrashing a video game company because they make a lot of sequels is a bit silly considering how many of the games we see anymore are sequels no matter who is releasing them. Capcom has crappy DLC plans, although there's signs they've learned from the complaints about them. Other than that, they definitely do still produce good games, and usually they're games that are targeted at the hardcore game audience and generally not ridiculously dumbed down for more mass appeal when compared to other companies; although that might be their problem, because hardcore gamers are some of the whiniest bitches to make things for that I've ever seen anywhere.
