Street Fighter 5 was a necessity, not a win.

Tekken was bigger years back, but Street Fighter is much bigger today. Plus, Tekken is strongly PlayStation-aligned anyway. It may be exclusive. But, if it's not, it will still sell immensely more on the platform based on previous fan alignments. 

Tekken was only bigger because the casual fighting game fans got burnt out by the constant milking of the franchise.  Street Fighter 4 came along after the series has been pretty much dead for so long, only for Capcom to once again milk the franchise to death. 

When Street Fighter 5 releases on PS4, it'll sell worse than the PS3 version of Street Fighter 4.

I think its weird that you think the only reason tekken became as big as it was was because SF was being milked and buyers were getting tired of it.

Then again, whenever I see or find people making vcertain kinda comparisons between Sf and Tekken it makes me think those people don't really know what they are talking about. For one simple reason, the only thing tekken and SF have in common is that they are both fighting games. They are both so different that gamers that like one usually, mostly dislike the other. At their very core they have a completely different gameplay language that really doesn't mix.

You are right though that SF tends to get milked to infinity and back. I have no idea why capcom does that, sometime sthey even make 2 versions of SF in the same year.
