Could Pokken outsell SFV?

Yes

Btw not saying it will, but yes its possible

 

[vin-buc]

I imagine this mouth will close more as the year advances.

Ethomaz coined it "pac-man"

 

[Nyoro SF]

SF5 < 210K

Sometimes you have to make the big play at corporate, to sell a game before its ready because you believe you can weather the storm. Unfortunately it looks like that gamble didn't work.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Could Pokken outsell SFV?

seems like it will

 

[RexNovis]

PS4 > 342k, 56%

Make it happen.

A minimum sales threshold is nowhere near enough for an accurate picture of sales.

 

[random25]

SF5 < 210K

Damn that's underwhelming. SFV gonna need those legs.

 

[AncientDiety]

Steam is at about 130k. I'd say its probably 500k at best with all Digital sales included. Really dont see it hitting that 2million mark.

It's 500 k just from Europe and US imo counting digital, WW i'd say it will be 1 million soon, I could be nuts though and totally out to lunch..

 

[Welfare]

Also from what was said earlier, PS4 Naruto at least ~210k, at least XB1 ~105k (PS4 2:1)

 

[Nightengale]

It's somewhat ironic ROTR and SFV both ended up within very close sales proximities to each other.

 

[2thepoint]

Yes

Pokken is a system seller to me.

The amount of money Nintendo could print by making a Pokemon RPG for Wii U/NX is insane.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Pokken is a system seller to me.

The amount of money Nintendo could print by making a Pokemon RPG for Wii U/NX is insane.

more than the 10-15million sales they made on the 3DS (or any handheld) with a fraction of the dev costs??


There aren't even 15 million Wii Us...

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Could Pokken outsell SFV?

Considering the demographics that own WiiUs and their engagement with Nintendo IP, id consider it to be a certainty.

I would even argue that Pokken might be the second best selling fighter this gen, after MKX.

Really the only thing stopping it is whether it gets a launch day NX port or not.

 

[Radec]

SF5 < 210K

What was SF4 launch before? (i know its not console exclusive)

 

[Guymelef]

It has nothing to do with exclusivity in this case though.



You fucked up, Sony and Capcom.

You mean Capcom and the poor lauch content?

Do you think ~350k with an hypothetical XBO version would be a good result?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

What was SF4 launch before? (i know its not console exclusive)

849K.

Remember all the money printed by Pokemon XD

So is Monster Hunter their only relevant franchise now.

 

[RexNovis]

Xbox 360 didn't take off until the Kinect launched Holiday 2010. It's February at the same period in its life cycle for example was 250,000.

THe 360 was regularly up YoY whereas the XB1 is now regularly significantly down YoY and wasnt that far ahead of the 360 to begin with. It will fall below 360 sales long before we see the kinect bump.

I mean in terms of selling hardware.

I have many friends who have completely lost touch with Nintendo but would line up in the cold at midnight if NX had such a title.

Aww that's no good at all -_-

They really picked a terrible time to get it out to the west.

 

[rhandino]

SF5 < 210K

Kii

Perched for Pokken now.

 

[Welfare]

360 was available for as low as $279 by Feb 2008. 360 has a price advantage against the XB1

PXZ2 ~ 18

Is that worse than the first one?

 

[kirblar]

Damn that's underwhelming. SFV gonna need those legs.

S2/2017 should get the Super title and have a re-release that includes the S1 characters for a soft relaunch.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Smash Bros. though.

Fighter. Not party game.

 

[Obliterator]

Ouch

Very niche title. Not too surprising.

:jnc

I think I was right about NPD not using bundles in that 3x figure though, cause 315<351

anyway, rounding to the nearest 1k:

Birthright=139k
Conquest=129k
Special Edition=47k

 

[Bear Force One]

That pie chart reinforces the thought that Xbox is not long for this market.

MS moving to PC ecosystem is most likely their best bet now.

 

[Fdkn]

should we pray for digimon or better not to know? >.>

 

[KillerMan91]

Do is Monster Hunter their only relevant franchise now.

There is still Resident Evil. If they don't fuck it up somehow RE7 should still sell really well.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I don't even wanna kno i already kno Na let me down

 

[Gunslinger]

Could Pokken outsell SFV?

Question isn't whether it can outsell SFV or not but by how much?

 

[2thepoint]

Remember all the money printed by Pokemon XD

Well that wasnt great to begin with.

Even a 3D remake of Pokemon Red/Blue exploring Kanto in an RPG setting would probably make me cry with happiness.

Ive waited every E3 for something like that.

 

[TheAutomator]

SF5 < 210K

So Stardew Valley sold twice as much? Amazing.

 

[Nightengale]

Birthright only 3% above Conquest? Expected larger split.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Fighter. Not party game.

you proud of yourself :^)

Birthright only 3% above Conquest? Expected larger split.

That's incredibly awesome. It shows Nintendo and Intsys that there's demand for hardass classic Fire Emblem.

 

[Nyoro SF]

should we pray for digimon or better not to know? >.>

Same as I feel for Trails of Cold Steel, I think that one is so low profile it missed cream's third-party radar

 

[Mory Dunz]

I mean in terms of selling hardware.

I have many friends who have completely lost touch with Nintendo but would line up in the cold at midnight if NX had such a title.

Yeah, it could be an attraction to bolster a lineup.
I just don't see TPC putting their main team on it, when they could be making another handheld entry.

The best you'd get would be a lower budget, condensed RPG, made by an off-team like genius sonority. Made just well enough to sell a million or even two. Would the masses be satisfied with that? Hm, dunno. GAF definitely wouldn't

 

[CastorTroy]

Wow, making SFV a PS4 console exclusive seems to not have paid off at all for Capcom.

 

[Nightengale]

So Stardew Valley sold twice as much? Amazing.

Not sure if purposely making strange comparison.

 

[RexNovis]

Wish we could make a thread to discuss SFV franchise sales decline. I think theres a discussion to be had there about cause and effect.

 

[Fdkn]

So Stardew Valley sold twice as much? Amazing.

npd retail vs worldwide
totally different pricepoints and demographics

why do ppl do these weird comparisons lol

 

[fernoca]

Seems my 50k-60k estimate for the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition was right. XD

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if Pokken is gonna outsell SF5

 

[CastorTroy]

Fighter. Not party game.

I didn't know they allowed party games at EVO every year.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Fighter. Not party game.

oh yeah. my mistake.

What about Cold Steel though
