The main reason is simple actually. The reboot is trash, that's about it.

Itsuno seems to disagree

Itsuno directed DMC5, and thats the difference between them, DMC5 is a succes and the DmC reboot its simply trash ;)

He made a game with large inspiration from DmC and full of references, Vergil pulls out DmC Doppelganger as the hype moment of the final boss fight, DMC6 will go the same route if Itsuno keeps directing, I think I'll trust the director's opinion

Yes, in DMC5 you can see a reflection of some aspects of the reboot, such as the action in combat and vergil's doppelganger as you say. thats one thing the reboot did right, the combat and action. I also trust Itsuno's direction, I think that with him directing, DMC6 will be even better than 5.

I feel like 5 dropped the ball on combat.
Color coded enemies and flow chart combos that ask very little of the player, a lack of lock-on and the bosses being big set pieces with no ability to combo.

This one is failure, DmC5 is good

5 took elements from the reboot such as style announcer

It is no reboot it is a "reimagining of the series, with the same protagonist Dante, but set in an alternate universe." (Quote from Moby Games: https://www.mobygames.com/game/59494/dmc-devil-may-cry/ )

The Game itself is very good. Even the press had mostly good things to say about the title. See Moby Games link under Critics (Average score: 85%).

A sequel was in the works, but was cancelled two weeks before alpha status:

Do you really enjoy dmc5 ??

I hated it to my guts.
DMC reboot is just after the DMC4 in term of gameplay.
Dmc4 is by far the most complex and pleasing combo maker.


DMC5 is almost a roll back, rebellion is a SHAME, the motorbike is a joke and vergil 12546 types of arm is annoying. V is useless Dante has only 50% of is original combo and mission are full of useless cutscenes, you cant choose who you play.

How the hell did dmc5 sold better than DMC ?
I would say : video game has reached a lot of people, DMC is famous, 4 and DMC sold 6 and 5 millions copies but it was 10-15 years ago.
So 8 millions on DMC5 isnt that impressive nowadays .

Lets see if 6 get better or worse.

I'd say the actual reason would be, the fans did not want it cuz it actively attacked them in some of it's jokes, so they did not buy it. (really bad idea ninja theaory)
