I know a few long-time Trekkies that said they would have preferred if it was a completely separate universe because the fact that it's a parallel one actually means it can interact with and bleed into the classic universe.
DMC fans should be so lucky that DmC is a self-contained, completely separate universe. Similarities, perhaps, but we don't have to worry about weird cross-overs between old Dante and new Dante. Because all I can imagine is new Dante flipping old Dante the bird while old Dante scoffs, chuckles, and throws back a terrible one-liner that's linguistically just as trite or awful.
Though the grander speculation I'd like to share is that while DmC isn't an amazing seller or anything, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of people that are buying it AND liking it are actually old-school DMC fans. I doubt much of it is actually series new blood. There's just a contingent of the fanbase that is holding out for their own personal reasons, though I can't actually qualify those reasons, as I don't belong to that group.
