SCIV had a insane amount of marketing around it and had Starwars characters. SFIV is all about SF fanbase and doesn't have any special characters that they had to pay off to put in the game. So yeah, SFIV sales are doing really good. |
I do agree the SC4 sales weren't that great considering the amount of marketing that was put into the game...I would see five or six SC4 commercials in a one hour period of TV watching. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have even sold half the numbers it did if there was no Yoda/Vader. That said, I don't think SFIV will outsell it. SC4 benefited from essentially having no competition. SFIV's release coincides with the release of too many big titles.
