| S.T.A.G.E. said: Tekken was one of the best selling franchises on the Playstation until Tekken 4 came out and no one gave a damn anymore. Street Fighterright now is the king and the FGC has to follow suit because of it. Killer Instinct is gaining popularity but the game isnt even complete and SF is coming more than likely in the 2016 region. By then MS should already be finished (or almost finished) with season 3. Ontop of that Sony has Guity Gear exclusively on the PS4. There are also rumors that they are bringing back Bloody Roar. |
No one gave a damn yet Tekken 4 still sold over 3.5 million copies and since then the games have sold more each entry since (okay so there have only been 2 but still). The dedicated fanbase is still there and ready to spend their money on what is consider the best 3D fighter available, SoulCalibur from 4 to 5 had a huge drop is sales and unless they change something.
KI isn't in the league of SF or Tekken but I don't know where it fits, without sales numbers we just won't know. Could it be Blazblue niche or Mortal Kombat popularity? Bloody Roar is Konami's and Hudson no longer exist, whoever makes that has to do well with it. That is a risk however. I'd love Capcom to start working on some of their older fighting franchises again but if they had to ask for financial backing to get SF5 going, they will never do another Star Gladiator or Rival Schools.
Hmm, pie.
