I doubt avid players rely solely on the arcades.

C'mon, Street Fighter is bigger in the west and thats why Sony wanted it. Lets not drag this on.

Of course they do.  Daigo Umehara, arguably the greatest person at Street Fighter, doesn't have a game console.  It's all at the arcades.  And look back to Evo.  Most of the players came from Asia, not the "west".  Reason the "west" got destroyed was because more Japanese players came this year.  

You're precious.

I looked him up, in this Kotaku article it appears he does have consoles and even an arcade. They just aren't in his home. http://kotaku.com/world-class-street-fighter-player-doesnt-have-a-game-c-1515591621

It appears he even has a Xbox 360. Which makes sense given its used in tournaments.

Common sense told me he doesn't just practice at an arcade. Safe bet most if not all tournament level players own this game on a console.
