[sinonobu]

Didn't USF2 sell 17000 copies FW?

 

[E_Darkness]

Pretty sure a lot of games out sell Marvel games in Japan.

 

[MechaX]

Yikes, I was expecting 15k-20k, not... that

Capcom better hope that PS4 NA throws the Aaron Rodgers game-ending hail mary

 

[Martin5000]

Only because there is nothing to play on switch!

Spoiler

/s

 

[Berordn]

Has Marvel ever been popular in Japan?

I never have a metric of what's good or bad historically over there.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The better game sold more.

 

[Stone Ocean]

8k what the FUCK

I was expecting like 30k. Is this game even gonna hit 300k ww at this point?

 

[Brazil]

Lesson learned: never go full cheap-ass.

 

[Tripon]

2 million guidance will not happen.

Popular enough to have this god-tier custom opening: https://youtu.be/2rSw4Xl5qfs?t=11

EDIT: Granted, this is X-Men, which isn't in the game, LOL.

 

[Rhaknar]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

Marvel vs Capcom 3 sold roughly 80k units between PS3 and 360 during its first week in Japan. (Using Famitsu numbers)

 

[Glass Rebel]

Makes sense. To the average consumer, Pokken DX looks like the infinitely more appealing product.

I don‘t get any satisfaction out of this but this is entirely self-inflicted on Capcom‘s part.

 

[Chucker]

Play cheap games, get cheap prizes? I guess.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Someone bump the injustice vs marvel sales thread again, Jesus.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

For every region it bombs in.

Spoiler

It's going to be every single one

 

[kunonabi]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

At least one more probably.

 

[Permanently A]

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.

 

[Stone Ocean]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

As many as copies sold

 

[BassForever]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

After September NPD comes outs we'll have one for NA, then another when Capcom talks about disappointing sales, the another after the fiscal year is over.

 

[Platy]

I expected low but DAMN !

So Capcom about that new pocket fighter in cell shading for switch and ps4 going after the smash crowd... ?

 

[Neoxon]

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.

Marvel seems to be hedging their bets on Spider-Man either way. But even then, quite a few of MvCI's wounds were inflicted by Marvel Entertainment executives as there were Capcom-inflicted wounds.

The Versus series has never been huge in Japan, but going from the above, this is like, an all new low.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Capcom is a mess

 

[Finaika]

Japan doesn't like Marvel.

 

[Lonely1]

Lesson learned: never go full cheap-ass.

But USFII!?

It's above UMvC3 & the Xbox release of MvC2. But yeah, it's pretty low.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

MvC:I was the cheapest budget big name game in probably the last 5-10 years. Not sure this complete bomb is a good sign (people won't buy your no effort games) or bad (you have to have a super high budget to make a game that sells).

 

[LordOfLore]

Can we get some numbers on I2 in Japan?

 

[Boss Doggie]

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Bear in mind those sales might not reflect the series's arcade health (FOR THE PRE-MVC3 GAMES). That said... I think we should brace for NPD singing a similar tune. Capcom's 2 million forecast is not happening.

It's above UMvC3 & the Xbox release of MvC2. But yeah, it's pretty low.

The PS4 version of UMVC3 was an ultra-limited release 5 years afterward and Xbox = death. For a new release, this is the worst yet.

 

[Platy]

It's above UMvC3 & the Xbox release of MvC2. But yeah, it's pretty low.

It is above the RE RELEASE of MVC3 on ps4 and the XBOX versions (remember : japan HATES the xbox) of mvc3 and mvc2

 

[Sephzilla]

SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH, ENOUGH'S ENOUGH

 

[JayEH]

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.

This wasn't a big game don't worry.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Wow, MvCI bombed hard.

 

[squall23]

I think the big news here is that Tatsunoko vs Capcom had a bigger first week than Infinite.

 

[ozfunghi]

As many as copies sold

There is no arcade version. There hasn't been any arcade version for marvel vs Capcom since mvc2

 

[Lonely1]

One more I think (After NPD).

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I meant of the pre-MVC3 games.

 

[random25]

MVCI going for that triple kill.

 

[kewlbot]

people are probably waiting for the complete version with all the DLC. I know I am, that roster is just not exciting enough

 

[Guymelef]

Both games are trash.
Speaks about what users really have good taste.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Well, maybe MvC:I did need a switch version because jesus fucking christ, this game isn't looking to cross 500k let alone 2 million.

Both games are trash.
Speaks about what users really have good taste.

Infinite is a good game with a really shitty art style and roster. They can fix the roster though. The gameplay is nothing but praised as far as I can tell.

Pokken is still pokemon at the end of the day.

Caplol

 

[Hero]

Posted in the other thread but I'll reiterate here:

Capcpom stays losing and they honestly deserve the L. This entire generation has been nothing but failure and mistakes for them that they still apparently aren't learning from.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Didn't the game get like zero marketing in Japan?
