Well you brought up fighters in the first place, so I'm just sayin'.

 

Unless you meant the platformers for whatever reason, in which case, I was comparing Sonic Adventure and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee.

What I was saying is that, it is not fair to compare Killer Instinct and Soul Calibur.

Two type of fighting games that play totally different.

It's just like comparing 11 on 11 soccer with futsal/5 on 5 soccer. They're both soccer.

As a fighting game enthusiast myself, I completely agree and am fully aware of this, but if we're talking strictly early adopters, a fighting game is a fighting game. Hell, Street Fighter IV being 2D didn't stop it from garnering universal praise (which I personally don't entirely agree with, but besides the point) and revitalizing interest in the 2D fighting genre.

The problem with KI3 is that it's been a dormant franchise for over a decade and a half, it has literally had nothing since 1997 and doesn't fundamentally offer anything we're not already seeing on current gen systems, compare that to Soul Calibur scalding every other fighter released before it from a technical standpoint.

 

The main thing being though, which MikeRox pointed out, promising launch line-ups aren't always a vote of confidence, that's my point.
