Forums - Sony Discussion - tatsuonoko vs capcom on other consoles?

Also, to clarify, what I thought was the worst thing about this entire post is that not only do you believe that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom would sell better on the PSN (which it most likely wouldn't and even if it somehow magically would, that would be at a massive loss of revenue compared to each sale on the Wii due to the price difference), you actually believe it'll sell 300k-500k first week.

Soul Calibur IV and Tekken 6 only barely managed to scrape by 300k first week on the PS3 and they were not only made for the console in question, sold on retail (retail sells more than downloadable, generally), they were also an entry in a main series.

Hell, Street Fighter IV managed 500k units first week on the PS3, and you expect a port of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to equal those first week sales? I mean, come on man. I'm sorry to say it, but you're either joking or you're delusional.

demitri55, if we assume for a second that I believe you, then you've made it quite clear you are a special case and would most likely be one of the extremely few who knew about Tatsunoko. Out of the 139,000 people who bought the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom game, I'd be willing to wager that at least 130,000 had no clue what Tatsunoko was.

oh so just because you never heard of tatsunoko others couldnt of have. i see the world revolves around you huh? like i said i knew who tatsunoko was whether you believe me or not just shows how self centered you are to try and dismiss it.

Nice try, but no dice. I'm clearly a very anime-oriented person (or have been), and I had never heard of them, but you stated that you've been watching old anime throughout your 22-year old life, something most people would not have done. I'd say it's you who's imposing your upbringing to other people here - not the other way around.



MAG being a new IP marketed to the west and europe outsold tatsunoko vs. capcom in japan. now ill be reasonable capcom did screw japanese gamers selling them the same game with 4 (or more) new characters for 49.99 one year after releasing the original in japan. just shows you tatsunoko vs. capcom is a flop on the wiii. put it this way all (majority) of the people who bought street fighter 4 are street fighter fans and it sold in the million. those exact same people will buy tatsunoko vs capcom since its a new vs. game if it were sold on the psn or xbl common sense

uh-huh so you arent reading what you are writing huh? i said i watch anime since i was 4 and i do also watch old anime. well if those people didnt do that then they arent really "anime oriented" right?



MVC2 is estimated to have done around 55k 1st week on XBLA iirc, and likely lower on PSN. TVC's 1st week of 110k isn't looking quite so bad... especially when you're putting a $50 release against a $15 one.

yeah and then loook how badly it declined in its second week.



demitri55, come on. You're grasping at straws. Also, your last post to me made no sense whatsoever. Just give it up and stop trying to make something that's done well look bad.

After it's first 5 weeks, MVC2 XBLA was at 160k.  TVC is almost there after just 2 weeks and 3 times the price.  What were you saying about how this game should go to XBLA/PSN again?



anyways i gotta go. but i will leave my prediction that tatsunoko vs. capcom will sell 300,000-500,000-units its first week on psn. common sense street fighter 4 did it because all street fighter fans bought it for being a new game in the series those exact same fans will buy tatsunoko vs. capcom on the psn or xbl ensuring that it will sell as much as i predicted.
