I could be wrong, but I think the traditional "Fighting" genre is slowly fading away.

As for Street Fighter IV, Japan would have been a big seller if the game wasn't out in the arcades for a long period of times before the release to consoles.

 

Thats my take fighting games are fun but very limited play for me, as a genre I think its in decline

 

The fighting genre has been dead for years. SF IV was Capcoms effort to resurrect it. The 1990's were the peak for fighters. When games like SF, Mortal Kombat, and King of the Figthers were the number 1 games at there time. Tekken was also big for its time. After the arcades died here in the states fighters lost interest . Equalling dead genre. That is the reason it took 10 years for a new SF.
