I already answered this point if you bothered reading above.  I found it strange people were celebrating this. Neither have sold well and it was only 1 region.

Look at this thread. Majority of the people said that SFV will outsell Pokken. Even I thought of it as well. But this thread proves it wrong = Quite Shocking. 

Oh it would be a surprise alright but I just don't see Pokken in the end selling more than SFV. bear in mind they will only sell another 800k Wii U's. It's done admirably Pokken but we've no hard facts it's currently outsold it and I don't think in the end it will.  

 

We need Bandai Namco to release the shipment numbers.  Any idea when their financials are due?  Maybe they're waiting for the 1m shipped milestone

Doesn't Nintendo confirm all million sellers? Maybe I am thinking of another company. Either way Capcom said 1.4m for SFV. Maybe next Quarter Nintendo can confirm how much Pokken sold.

 

Isn't that 1.4m WW? This thread specifically says Retail in the US. 

Just making a correction here but Nintendo wont annohnce it because it isnt a nintendo game. (Like HW when tecmo announced 1mil not nintendo)

1.4m WW still includes retail US sales. I was hoping someone had Pokken sales to compare so we can extrapolate sales, but alas nothing.

Isn't the 1.4 million including the PC version? I thought this was about the PS4 version of SFV vs. Pokken which, obviously, came out on Wii U.

The title nor op does not mention the PS4 version alone.  Not like it matters because US retail sales of PC SFV would be almost nonexistent.

Misleading title then. But again it doesn't matter much at all.

But add digital pc sales from the US and it matters.

This was an oversight of my part. A nice one, since it makes it less about console comparison and more about the games themselves but since I have no intention of misleading people I guess console war it is.
