Forums - Sales - Super Street Fighter IV 3DS Ships 1 Million Units! First 1 million selling.

psrock on 13 April 2011

Again, who cares. The game is not close to 1 million sold right now. The only thing helping is the lack of new releases for the 3DS before June. 

The only thing is, did we undrtrack it or there so many copies on shelf.

I'm saying that is where it might be undertracked the most. Or possibly NA, but who knows with NA until NPD....

Yeah, his point is stupid considering SFIV has already proven itself ...


Whos point is stupid? Im not saying the game hasn't proven a success on the HD consoles, im saying that you're incapable of acknowledging that the lifetime of a console has a direct proportional relationship to the sales.

Am I?

I don't see what it has to do with anything, I've not said the sales are bad. I'm just arguing why it's unlikely SFIV3DS will come close to the the HD home console version.


Also shouldn't it be SSF4 (360) SSF4 (PS3) vs (SSF4 - ED edition). Which is less then 2 million. Since all titles are SUPER version of the game. 

No? SSF sold less than SFIV on consoles for very obvious reasons.

This is the 3DS's main SF, like SFIV on consoles were. You can't compare a main release (which it is) to a game that's been rereleased.


Why not? I can understand the main game arguement, but they are part of the Super brand.

I think that is better, since both come later and are more complete, I am pretty sure in the PR statement release, Capcom is going to state that this is the best selling Super Street Fighter version as well. Also even if it does only outsellf SSF4 (360)  and SSF4 (PS3), wouldn't that be impressive? It can also be the best selling single platform release of street fighter 4 as well. However I doubt it will beat 3.5 figure. 

However I think the other guy was talking about 3.5 million figure, so you were arguing with him and he agreed to that basis. 

It's a whack comparison though, I don't care if people think I'm cherrypicking. It's more cherypicking to compare the SSF versions.

If Capcom skiped SFIV, and delivered SSFIV, do you think SSFIV's sales would be what they are now? no chance. SFIV sales meant SSFIV had stunted growth. SSFIV on 3DS is a brand new title and doesn't have to contend with a previous title on the platform.

So it makes sense to compare the first versions released on all platforms.

I'm sure 1 mill on 3DS is impressive, as is the 3.5 mill on home consoles. But it's more apt to compare it to that rather than SSFIV.

Lets not pretend that "Super" in the title, and the extras actually have much of a sway on overall sales ...

Or, we might just be spot on and it isn't selling through the roof. Nintendo already announced they expect like, 4 million SW to be sold (or shipped by end of March) and it hasn't even done 1 mill ... they obviously overestimated demand.

Or they overshipped, I expect a bigger number for NA as there wherent that many choices of good games to choose from. 

It's not undertract in Others, i most countries in Europe, the game is nowhere to be seen. There was zero 3DS games last week in the UK top 40.

'Cause people who own a 3DS by definition don't own a PS3/360/PC where they could have played SF4? Did it occur to you that maybe SSF4 is still not a new game, even when it releases on another platform?

I'm not even going to dignify that with a (drawn out) answer, of course they're not the same game ...

I don't necessarily agree with, since SSF4-3D edition is a later edition, and can't be easily compared to the original SF4 game.  

Also wouldn't it be fairer to compare individual editions? Instead of saying Home Console, or Super Ediition. In the end if this outsells all editions (individually), you can see capcom releasing a statement in one of the quarter reports, stating the best selling super title.
