328k means PS3 sold 0 units while 360 did 23k.
I think 0 units is more improbable than PS4 at 336k.

The second one?
Hmm.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

What a time to be alife.

Resident Evil remaster almost beaten by a niche game..
Edit: aaand beaten as usual.
XSEED said that Senran Kagura is a good seller for them. I think these numbers are good, given the good ol' "100k" statement in the past.
I wish you would put together an XSEED list.

RE6 is not a loved game at all...
338 more than last year.
But the maths doesn't fit with the gap.

Monthly Cold Steel inquiry.
I have a different number for last year's PS4, but I don't know if it's public. The number I have for last March's PS4 makes this year's PS4 number essentially flat YOY.

I'm pretty tired, so I have to be missing something obvious.
We know the XB1 and PS4 are up YoY. PS4 is up 0%, and the gap is ~88k.
We assumed the PS4 and XB1 did 340k and 236k last year, and Zhuge posted this
This is where my brain melts.
Donny could you pm me your PS4 number? I just need to check some things.

What's the reason for what seems like a pretty high 3DS number? I haven't been following NPD in a while so I don't know how it compares with the past few months, but it seems good. Go NX, go.

You used 340k in prediction thread.

Yep I've heard similar things.
:lol So like 2K for Wii, then? Nice.
Edit:
Yes, that's what was used in predictions. Sometimes a slightly different number will come out later, though.
Hey guys. Zhuge wanted me to post this for him.
https://twitter.com/zhugeex/status/720819010573570048
And that his last tweet had a minus sign. It's PS4 - PS3.

Just remember that one time they invested the earnings of Monster Hunter 4 in a failed mobile venture and watch those symphatetic feelings melt away.
CAPCOM of all the Japanase companies has one of the most suited catalog for this brave new world of mobile/f2p/multiplayer/online dominance but they just keep failing to capitalize that.
Bunch of flops.

From Zhuge via DM: Use 330k for PS4 and 242k for Zbox One.

Yeah, game is a phenomenal success story.
You shouldn’t feel bad, it was a lesson that someone at Capcom needed to learn. Ono, the producer comes across as very genuine so I doubt he pushed for this release. A great core gameplay still does not excuse them misreading the market. So many options could have been taken for a better launch and better first impression.
- Delay until more content was finished
- Release a cheaper digital only version
- Research the market for better consumer expectations
- Increase the budget/Marketing for the game
They also have some of the best IP in the industry (MH, RE, SF, MM, DD, DMC)) and they continually make dumb decisions with them.

Anyone with MLB the Show numbers?
Apparently our PS4 number for march 2015 was wrong.
Zhuge Dm'd me the same thing. Using us to do his dirty work.

Did it do particularly well in the US? I don't remember Nintendo releasing a PR to comment on its performance as they usually do to tout their successes, and I don't remember very high numbers. Maybe it had great tentacles?

This is something I completely have to disagree with.
SFV's art style shits over MKX's and did before even coming into conceptualization. Of course, I am saying this to someone who prefers manga/anime influenced art over comic book art.
I mean have you seen the nude mods ? Lawd have mercy.

They kinda brought it on themselves in all fairness.
So march 2015 was actually ~330k right?
They tweted shortly after launch that the game sold 1 million units worldwide and last month they said that the game sold around 4 million copies.

The street fighter failure party is gross in this thread.
They will hopefully continue to support it and make the game better.
I still don't think that arcade mode would have sold that many more copies. And at this point that's all the game is missing that sf4 had.
The appeal of fighting games on gameplay itself has been a niche forever.
I hope that they continue to try to grow the online player base and keep people playing.
And easy operation mode for matchmaking might be a good first step, similar to killer instinct. Only EO players can play EO players.
I really don't think that just single player modes will sell a ton more copies. The long term health of the game is based on people playing it online.
There's two major barriers there, cost of entry and learning curve.
A $20 download version with just Ryu, ken, Chun, Cammy, bison, birdie, and Zangief and the EO mode with special shortcuts and easy combo entry would help both of these.
I don't think Capcom is wrong to try to focus the game on online play but they need to do a lot more to make it happen.

Pretty sure it had great legs and continued to just do very well every month, dont think it blew up anywhere specific.
What a depressing first party lineup. Ugh, first parties with the exception of Nintendo have sucked real bad this generation...
