The games suck. It would've died regardless of SIE's interference.

The games didn't suck, but they did improve at a very slow rate, which would've eventually caught up to them if they kept making games for the handhelds.

SK doesn’t offer anything better than other hack and slash games like DMC or NG. The characters in-game have no ass either.

>started on 3DS as an Ikkitousen inspired character story focused traditional beat-em-up with some light fanservice that just has girls in swimsuits

>new mainline game becomes vaporware and the series stays in gacha hell where the market is safe and easy
The constant flip-flopping of the series identity and the slow death of ecchi games on console in the last decade is what killed it. Gacha soaked up pretty much the entire user market for ecchi so it just doesn't make sense to make fanservice games anywhere else now. Though I really think the biggest factor was just how often they changed direction.
