Resi Revelations 2 would sell more on vita then if it was on wii u

I doubt that. Besides, porting to the Wii U means the game won't be downgraded. Console ports like Borderlands 2 to the Vita don't end so well.

It will definitly sold more then on wii u just like Call of duty on psv outlsold call of duty on wii u and psp call of dutty outsold wii and ds version



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Around the Network

10 billion USD.

Which Capcom uses to make Super Ultra Hyper SFV Championship Edition EX Alpha+ Day One Edition.



Resident Evil Vita will sell good, could be a million seller.

Hopefully, that's true. Too many versions of SFIV is, actually, a part of what turned me off of it (a shame, since Street Fighter(s) II and III are some of my favorie games out there).


That totally makes sense if they follow their new logic of community gathering started by cross play , too many versions would split it.

See, we really can agree after all!

Well, i wasnt really disagreeing with you in the other thread, just wondering if you had evidences on Sony funding the game when you compared the situation to Bayo 2, misunderstanding haha



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Call of Duty Vita outselling Call of Duty Wii U just shows that Vita owners didn't care if they were buying a crappy game. Call of Duty PSP couldn't have outsold the Wii versions. They sold around 4 million on the Wii. Plus, Resident Evil and Call of Duty are different franchises! Call of Duty is a FPS, while Resident Evil is a Survival or Action Horror.

I doubt it will sell 500,000 at retail.

I'd much love to see a lot of concrete evidence to show that Sony are "helping" capcom with SFV development, as in the whole deal for it to be equally compared to what Nintendo did with Bayo 2 because right now it hardly seems that way since Bayo 2 wouldn't of actually happened at all without Nintendo's help yet SFV would happen 100% even without Sony's help, it's not 100% the same exact deal and situation at all.


Not same but a much better deal, PS4 is the console of this gen.  Capcon can see this and is going all for PS4 as it will cost them almost no sales over all whiel ill help with dev by having Sonys support.  They picked the right horse to bank on this gen.

Skipping out on Xbox this gen will cost them millions of sales. They'd be pretty dumb to do so without some sort of compensation  from Sony. Exclusivity for a huge franchise like Street Fighter is a big deal.

Also, I'm not buying the whole cross play excuse. This isn't an MMO. there's no reason why Xbox gamers can't just play with themselves, like they've been doing for the past decade. 

This I can logically see, they will without a doubt lose money, sales and most likely rep from not putting it on the XB1 and giving the middle finger to the console will just reinforce peoples purchasing decisions, same goes for Wii U and 3DS owners with the Gamecube remake and Rev 2 not going on either of their platforms, Capcom is just limiting themselves more and more with bad decisions in the process, only those with the console of pref that are actually getting those games will defend such decisions simply because they are favoured, why would they even want to show a shred of logic and empathy for anyone else not sharing or having their console of pref?, I'm seeing it happen all over VGC when it coems to Sony or MS getting something.

 

His logic is somehow ebcause it's Capcom and Sony it's somehow a much better deal (trying to pass as subjectively and factually) than the one that happened between Nintendo and Platinum (Platinum are nowhere near popular and rich as capcom which means apples and oranges), without Nintnendo Bayo 2 literally would not happen, he ignores that important piece evidence and ignores the fact that SFV would still happen even if it wasn't exclusive to Sony since it's also coming on PC.

Funny thing is I'm not a fan of just one platform, I go where the games are but I know he's all PS with the post history to know there's bias in the works and no shred of care for anyone else so it's no surprise to have the "it's the bestestdeal ever peroid x10000" logic.

"best horse to bet on", yeah for money but you sacrifice more sales and tarnish your rep with other people, that's two cons to one pro, that's a loss no matter how you spin it, it's a fact that if you give one group the middle finger and refuse to sell to them while favouring another group you will lose rep with the group you shunned and less likely garner much if any sales from them in the future when you decide they are worth selling to,.

IF some company was to middle finger me and make a multiplat exclusive in such a way like that (Bayo 2 was a fine and justified example) I wouldn't want to give them any money in the future, why should I if my other systems I bought don't get a once multiplat gone exclusive game for no reason?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Revelations 2 on Vita will easily sell multiple times what it would sell on Wii U. lol Sony likely didn't even pay for that one. At most, they might provide some dev assistance.

As for Street Fighter V, Capcom needed money to make it. Sony likely helped to fund the development and promote the game, making the entire thing possible. At the same time, it's not on Xbox. It is on PC (which doesn't really matter much, all things considered) because Sony weren't going to spend extra money to -stop- it from being on PC.

One thing people need to realise about Street Fighter V is that cross-platform play is the goal for the game... Just like, say, FFXIV. And FFXIV isn't on Xbone, either. MS are against cross-platform play because it makes their XBL sub look bad in comparison.

Only 1 call of duty game on wii  outsold the psp call of duty game the other 3 was selling worse then it,so you admit that call of duty on wii u sold worse then vita one so why do you think Resident evil revelations 2 would sold better on wii u then on psv



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m

A lot, like, a shit ton!
