Capcom absolutely back on track! Incredible numbers!
will never catch streegt fighter 1, 2, 4 or 5
According to Capcom SF5 is at 7.6 million and I bet a lot of those sales were from it being dirt cheap, repackaged, etc.
SF6 is still pretty new. It should be able to get there over time and given the praise.
Incredible legs for a title that sold 1 million at launch. Capcom is on fire
Fighting games like tekken and Street fighter start off slow but have good legs because they get content for many years
thats it? I thought being out on more platform its suppose to blow past SF5 numbers easily which was considered "not good" according to the "experts"
……….it did lol. It took SF5 4 years to reach this sales milestone compared to just 1 year for SF6. What kind of sales figures were you expecting? Lol Capcom games are evergreen titles, so this sales figure will go up for years to come.
Should be ahead or at least match the so called "bad" SF5 sales already. SF4 has sold 3.4m on its launch month and that ended up with 9.7m total. this game took a whole 1 year to reach 4m. the way its going it will barely pass SF5 (7.4m) or at best match SF4 (9.7m) in the next 4 years by that time next gen and new SF games is bound to drop already. unless this game is a 10 year live service plan which I doubt.
Fighting games have never been massive sellers, just consistent sellers. And fighting games are not exactly great for the modern social gaming sadly, so many casuals don't pick it up on a whim. You don't buy SF or Tekken to have a laugh with your mates anymore. SF4 did what it did because it was a revamp of the series, first real entry in a decade and resigned itself.
So you were expected SF6 to surpass SF5 lifetime sales in just 1 year?
That's not how fighting game sales work and never have. You're forgetting a lot of information about SF4. The original launch versions sold 3.4 million combined. It sold 2.5 million the first month, but most importantly, Capcom also re-released the game 5 separate times over the course of 6 years that all together equaled 9.7 million. And that includes a 3DS version that sold over 1 million copies by itself. And that alone was several years after the initial release. The last version to re-release was in 2014 that sold another 2+ million copies.
You're confusing how game sales work with fighting games and the duration that they sell for. SF6 is doing fantastic after just a single year compared to all previous entries, and while still selling at full price with only a single version of the game. SF4 was selling for as low as $20 back in the day a year after launch. SF6 will continue to sell and increase in sales once permanent price drops start happening.
