In Japan Dragonball Z Burst Limit sold 85,000+ copies on Week 1 but Street Fighter 4 which had a bunch of hype couldnt even out sell it. I know Street Fighter 4 isnt that good but still it should have outsold it. Theres several Dragonball Z games a year come out this was the first proper Street Fighter in ages. Im sure a bunch of you will complain or whatever but im not interested so save it. I just wanna know why Street Fighter couldnt have outsold DBZ. Yes i know DBZ is far far more popular than Street Fighter it doesnt come close to being as popular but still it should have done better.

 

 On the objective side of things Street Fighter 4 will beat Burst Limit for sure. That game brought fighters back to triple a status where I live. Every store in my area was sold out and had tournaments outside the store. On a subjective tip, I haven't even put a thought into burst limit as I'm not a fan of the videogames. I just don't find them fun. Street Fighter 4 put fighters back on the map.

 

It's not like Brawl is the most popular fighting game over there.

lol seriously, Brawl is the most popular fighter everywhere. Speaking purely about "traditional" fighters, though, Tekken 6 (and now, BR) and VF5R have been killing SFIV on the Japanese arcade charts---SFIV hasn't hit #1 since it debuted (and presumably never will, since it's now on consoles). I'm not sure where the expectations of epic sales came from, really.
