Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Apparently 3DS gets it's first million seller!

MaxwellGT2000 on 12 April 2011

No surprise as to what the title is *drum roll* Super Street Fighter IV 3D edition! Capcom announced they've shipped a total of 1 million units worldwide! Very deserving title if you ask me.

Official press release:

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce that "Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition" for the Nintendo 3DS has shipped one million units worldwide.

"Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition" adds a visceral 3D depth effect and perspective, a fully featured online matchmaking system, the ability to play against other Nintendo 3DS owners with only one Game Card, and more new content for a refreshing, complete experience. Players can also utilize the system's Touch Screen to control their character, providing beginner players with a simple control scheme to enjoy the action. These features, possible only on the Nintendo 3DS system, have received high praise from users and have successfully expanded the audience for our fighting games. In capturing both new fans and longtime fans of the series, we were able to reach the one million unit mark for this title.

"Street Fighter" was first released in the arcades in 1987. This was followed up in 1991 with the smash hit "Street Fighter II", and as of April 12 2011, the series as a whole has shipped over 31 million units on home consoles worldwide. The innovative battle system found in the "Street Fighter" games helped to establish the fighting game genre.

Currently, Capcom has announced that several titles are in development for the Nintendo 3DS, including "Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D", "Resident Evil Revelations" and "Mega Man Legends 3".

As always, we at Capcom will continue to pursue our "Single content multiple usage" strategy by making advancements on new hardware to maximize sales while leveraging our brands to bring maximum satisfaction to as many of our users as possible.

Shipped? What is this, Sony? Come back when the actual sales are this.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

You're so mad at the 3DS. It's adorable.

Sold to the retail stores is a sale... sold to consumers are what we're mostly worried about yes, that data will come in due time, now please stop bashing, there really wasn't any need to take a swipe at Sony since that will only cause strife...

Figured someone would read that comment, and assume it had to be for that. How about sold vs shipped numbers actually are disparate, and the press release is just, plain deceptive?

Besides, if you paid attention to my comments, you would know I'm mad at third partied for choosing the 3DS for the wrong reasons, not the 3DS itself.

So if you are going to mock my stance, actually try to know what my stance is. This isn't the first time you've shown you don't actually pay attention to what I've written.

Hmmmm... 1m shipped and ~0.3m sold to customers? Someone is not doing their job right:

1. Capcom overshipped

2. Retailers ordered too much

3. Vgchartz / Mediacreate / Famitsu undertracked

It's not bashing, unless you think calling on a company for PR spin is bashing.

I'll give the Sony comment, but it's still not cool to tout shipments as though they were sales. It creates a false sense of demand, and that just makes a bubble. THAT is what I meant by getting back when the sales were actually that high. Then we know demand actually is that high, not just industry interest.

It'll take much longer for it to actually get to the hands of 1m consumers... meh. Got me excited for nothing.
