I really doubt it will.

UK was 80 (I think this included PC and PS4)
Japan was 41

So that's 121k. That doesn't include the US, which is probably going to be around 80.

So that's pacing 201k just about for physical. If we do the whole digital inclusion thing, that's 10 percent I think, so 20,100.

221,000 overall possibly. Maybe more if steam wasn't actually included.

How they will hit 2 million by March is anyone's guess, but it's not a complete bomba.

200K WW would be an absolute disaster.

Yep, Capcom has no one but themselves to blame here.

Well, Guilty Gear sold worse at launch (on both PS3 and PS4) and that game had modes out the ass for a fighter. I'm not sure SFV could have done much aside from releasing on a handheld.

We will see where they end up in March, though.

God I hope Capcom doesn't question its FGC-engagement after this abysmal launch. We need long term support for this game, its core is amazing.


Do you realise that there are more countries than the UK in Europe? lol
Click to expand...

Obviously. And I also realize that Asia itself is a big factor as well. I was mainly talking about the sales from UK, US, and Japan. I don't know if they grab numbers from elsewhere for the data, or if MC even has those.
 
The game was never going to do great in Japan because of the arcade culture and consoles dying off over there.

SFV is deliberately aimed at everyone else in the world.

it'll be fine. SF is FGC bread and butter.
unless SFV fails miserably and USFIV is brought back

Christ....finally finished Survival Mode on Normal with Ryu.

Don't know how you guys are able to do Hard and Hell.....yikes
Click to expand...

My first and only attempt at Survival using Ryu, I got to match 27 I think (against Nash?), and I had mismanaged my health the match before, and ended up with only a sliver left, and only a small health restore available, so I choked and lost. Will try again, but so time consuming to get absolutely no reward. Do you get any fight money or experience for finishing it?
 
I thought survival with Ryu is pretty easy on normal. You can double down a ton early on because you can just fireball and stay away for the low health/max stun double downs. Build up your score like crazy early on and then just power up and stay at max health as you're coming down the finish.
 
Capcom gonna double down on zenny unlocks after those numbers. Prep yourselves for survival mode being patched to be harder and colors sold individually.

I think anyone with an uppercut can get through normal easily(ryu, ken, cammy, etc). but Hard and Hell are pretty stupid.

Steam alone has the game at 100k copies sold. The PS4 version probably did much better than 100k, so it cannot be 200k only. Yes the game did not do well in retail, but I think you underestimate digital numbers too much, 10% is very low.
 
My tweet about R Mika being my chosen waifu got favorited by his Voice Actress lol
 
If Capcom wants Japanese sales they should just have Namco Bandai publish an arcade release that updates alongside the the console version. I doubt Namco would go for that.
 
Discovered this video and hit the lab with Laura. Curious to try her out online tomorrow. It took a while to figure out the timing on this but when I finally nailed it lawd. This combo looks so fucking dirty

If the numbers ring true, then it's already outselling SF4 from a global standpoint, since that was around 120k something week one, yeah?

[ALL] Street Fighter IV <FTG> (Capcom) {2009.02.12} (¥8.390) - 123.857 / NEW

That's just Japan. Your math is terrible lol

Given how you have to go through Survival with every Character's Costume to unlock all of the Colors, it's obvious that's going to happen anyway.

What? SF4 sold that in Japan alone...
Click to expand...

Oh I read that wrong.

And I kept the digital low just because I'm not familiar with it. So then 320k, around that possibly, not factoring in other places.

It's possible it could be at half a million total world wide, including all spots.

Opps thought that was WW for some reason.
 
A lot of high ranked PC players i encounter just teleport on my screen, connection says its ok. Heard about that tab glitch , but even limiting the connection with ps4 still connects me to them.

They can do what they want since I'm never going to touch hard mode again. I did all the easy modes and normal mode for Karin. I'll do all the normal modes for the other characters if possible, but I'm done with survival after that. Hard mode and above can go suck a lemon.

Pink Karin is life. <3 Thank God it wasn't tied to Hard.
 
I just played Zangief and Karin for the first time ever, because I went through Story mode. I don't know how to play them at all but I'm not looking to learn them just quite yet. Still staying to basics with Nash and partially Ryu.

At least now I have a 100.000 FM, so now I'm secured Alex. Bring on that reveal trailer!
 
Oh god I really just want a robust lobby system in place (search by ping/connection) I don't even care about my rank.

Fuck that, I want run backs and sets instead.
 
Haven't had too much time to play but I have enough fight money for two characters and a costume. I only plan on buying Alex and guile and maybe ibuki. Not interested in the rest. Anyone else only buying some characters and not all?

Guilty Gear is an anime fighter, it was never going to do better than that, no matter what you put in the disc.

edit: sorry, I was talking about WW sales. GG art direction is obviously ok for Japan, it's just that the game has less fans compared to SF.
 
Do you guys give up FG if SFV fails? Which from the financial standpoint it's pretty much guaranteed at this point imo. Sales aren't too hot. Do you think capcom will abandon support for this game after season one? I think so.
 
How much FM do you get from doing easy and normal survival with everyone?

As long as they don't kill the servers, I can deal with that.
 
steam alone was 100k via steamspy, so...yeah no. Dont get me wrong, I still think the game will be quite far from the 2mill capcom wanted by march, but its also not gonna be 200k lol

he's been spewing that message since day 1, its quite tiresome and shows a complete lack of understanding how the industry works, but what are you gonna do

Don't forget about Sony, this is their big fighting game exclusive and Capcom obviously has plans to support it for a long time. Question is how they can turn any of that into sales...

remz said:
you guys really think the lack of modes is the reason sfv did worse than sfiv?
Click to expand...
The modes give bad reviews, but they had a hard time advertising it to casuals without any cinematic content. I think that would have really been important to have for trailers, ads etc.

It's probably hovering around 500k all total right now. It's also built to be longtail as fuck. I really doubt this game won't end uo making Capcom money. Hell, evo had the largest number of entrants for sfv (iirc).

We are talking about Japanese sales here. Most of the games on the sales top ten this week are anime games.

Street Fighter appeals to a much more western demographic nowadays.
