Hey on the flip, Nintendo may well just buy MH at the rate Capcom is going.
And so it fades. *returns to waiting for Cold Steel 2
I was ranked 360k last month with 0FP... there were way lower ranking than mine.I'm ranked at like 280,000th in SF5 despite being awful and only winning about one match. I'm guessing it sold like 400-500k tops.
They are close to 1 million sold thought... shipment will be over 1 million.Yup, but I think they will baaarely make it
Capcom to Nintendo: "If you order now, we'll throw in this IP about some blue robot guy that we forgot we had, absolutely free."
But it's shocking really.
PS4 is slaying worldwide and SFV was very anticipated.
Sure, the game lacks content, but the same can be said for Splatoon, Pokken and many other games that came out recently.
Something else went wrong here, and I wonder how this is going to affect some of the third-party PS4 exclusives, especially coming from Capcom.
Sony clearly didn't do their marketing job right, they also paid for the development of the game, and it bombed on critic and user reviews, the same can be said about that SF4 port. They are messing with the image of an iconic franchise here, and from a third-party partner, no less!
I mean, SO5 is coming out later this year, it's going to bomb, and nobody will give a fuck. But SFV? It's not just a regular bomba, it's an important title, and Sony was behind it.
SE and FF7R might be the next victim.
LTD? Not quite. Almost.
Isn't Pokken an even more lackluster experience than SFV? This is really sad.

Who is still buying GTA V?

Kept ya waiting, HUH?I can imagine Cream wearing an eyepatch sitting in front of his oven now as he watches the pies bake. He then turns to the camera and with a smirk, he says "Kept you waiting, huh?"

I think Sony pretty much wanted SFV to get their hands into the competitive scene. Which is fine. THe game is a huge draw and is fun to watch. That said Capcom and Sony I'm sure want this to start making some money. Get a F2P version out soon and just hedge your bets.
LOL, not what I was referencing, but well done. That was hilarious. XDKept ya waiting, HUH?
Yeah, possibly. Could be good for Sony in the long run.
Just digging up some old numbers from 2009, yeah I know, while it sold over 800k in it's first month, the second month it didn't even chart. That's with the buzz of fighting games coming back and all.

"Oh sure, thanks... um... yeah... I think we have an orange robot girl or something so we're good."

How has SFV been selling on Steam?
Easily. Especially given the anticipation and success of SF4. But it seems common sense wasn't part of SFV's development, and no one could have anticipated that to be honest.How well do you guys think SFV would have sold if it had the inital content of a Street Fighter mainline title? No backlash or bad word of mouth? Their projections were 2 million. Would it have hit that?
In this day and age word of mouth seems to be more important than ever, but does it carry so much weight to result in sales like these, for such a longstanding and recognizable brand?

any word on what sf5 sold in march?
Primethius said:Yea, SFV pretty much had no legs on PC.
At all.
Yup. SF4 had 10 years of hype and anticipation. This game didn't have that. SO while if it launched with what it should have had. I still doubt it would see the sales similar to 4. I think it would be in a better position though.
That said. I think A F2P version or even putting this up for PS+ while pushing the season pass could help. Basically it needs to turn into a service.

I mean seriously? Are xbone sales so terrible to start to count the hours spent in gaming? It's one of the most absurd PR I have read in a NPD.In March, global hours spent gaming on Xbox One increased 89 percent compared to last year.
Sounds like something CeoKaz would say
I feel sorry for Capcom. They release a great product in Street Fighter V and people didn't appreciate it.

It has been this way for a little while. MS is concerned with MAU (Monthly Active User) now so this has to be expected.I mean seriously? Are xbone sales so terrible to start to count the hours spent in gaming? It's one of the most absurd PR I have read in a NPD.
