Wait... You mean there has been a street fighter worth playing since SF2?

I could personally care less if MS "counters" this game.... What do they need to counter? Give me Mortal Kombat X and I'll be happy.

regardless of whether or not it's good, it's still a franchise that sold almost 7m copies last gen.

Mostly due to the fact that its still in print and has been available at bargain bin prices for most of its existence.  The Street Fighter games on the NES weren't available throught the consoles entire lifetime and almost never where heavily discounted and they sold almost twice as much on a console that sold less then 50 million units compared to the 160+ of the PS3 and 360.
