Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce that "Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition" for the Nintendo 3DS has shipped one million units worldwide.

"Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition" adds a visceral 3D depth effect and perspective, a fully featured online matchmaking system, the ability to play against other Nintendo 3DS owners with only one Game Card, and more new content for a refreshing, complete experience. Players can also utilize the system's Touch Screen to control their character, providing beginner players with a simple control scheme to enjoy the action. These features, possible only on the Nintendo 3DS system, have received high praise from users and have successfully expanded the audience for our fighting games. In capturing both new fans and longtime fans of the series, we were able to reach the one million unit mark for this title.

"Street Fighter" was first released in the arcades in 1987. This was followed up in 1991 with the smash hit "Street Fighter II", and as of April 12 2011, the series as a whole has shipped over 31 million units on home consoles worldwide. The innovative battle system found in the "Street Fighter" games helped to establish the fighting game genre.

This will surpass units sold for the home consoles, and it might even out sell them combined!

I still wonder what would've happened had Okami been a Wii launch title.

Meanwhile, only a third of that has sold to consumers... gross overestimation of demand.

Or this site isn't doing that great of a job? I always find it strange in the EU market. (This applies to all consoles)

VGC is quite accurate with consoles, less than so in software, however, your first few weeks shouldn't be too hard to track...

Hahaha, that one, I didn't even check... I knew it was a lot, like 2 millions of, but not that much. Well, that cuts its chances by the knees.

I wouldn't say they are quite as accurate in EU, with both consoles and software, namely when that Nintendo report came out showcasing the EMEAA region for each console. I had my doubt about that region ever since.

Brand new console launching alongside old game > brand new game launching alongside old consoles

We'll see what happens soon enough, id give it 2 years and then we'll see.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
