I remember when MS bought Killer Instinct and company from Nintendo and watched as the Fighting genre faded away. DoA 3 and Soul Caliber II were the best in class at the time imo. I thought it was game over. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were not very good or interesting to me even though they were the two that made me love fighters. Of coarse there was a time when fighting games had taken over and new ones were popping up seemingly monthly.
The market is not over saturated, in fact it's just perfect. Street Fighter V will succeed I predict and Mortal Kombat X has really shined through. Killer Instinct has always been the underrated precious gem of the Fighters. DoA is ignorable to me now. Soul Caliber will come again this gen though it hasn't improved since II in my eyes. Smash is a phenomenon and I have no Idea why. Pokken will do Very good. All in all, I say the Fighting genre will grow from this point until too many are on the scene which will not be soon.
