MAG being a new IP marketed to the west and europe outsold tatsunoko vs. capcom in japan. now ill be reasonable capcom did screw japanese gamers selling them the same game with 4 (or more) new characters for 49.99 one year after releasing the original in japan. just shows you tatsunoko vs. capcom is a flop on the wiii. put it this way all (majority) of the people who bought street fighter 4 are street fighter fans and it sold in the million. those exact same people will buy tatsunoko vs capcom since its a new vs. game if it were sold on the psn or xbl common sense

street fighter fans wanted new games in the series and street fighter 4 proved that with it sell numbers. there's a market for tatsunoko vs. capcom in the hd consoles by those exact same fans who want a new vs. game.

P.S. i said between 300,000-500,000-units its first week so why are people picking the higher number? are you guys trying to ensure my prediction fails? im telling you now it wont and tatsunoko vs. capcom will be on psn/xbl

First, Street Fighter fans aren't necessarily Vs Series fans.  None of the Versus games ever came close to selling as well as mainline SF, even on the PlayStations.

Second, TVC's actually tracking better than most Vs games, including the usual favorite (MVC2).  From Sven's own lips, Capcom's happy with the game's sales, and even starting to hint at a sequel.

 

Honesly, XBLA/PSN are just flat out of the question.  Maybe in few years, but as of now Capcom won't sacrifice a full priced retail release (that's performing well) for a $15 download.  If anything, I'd say a PSP port would make the most sense.
