Forums - Gaming - Street Fighter V to release by end of March 2016; 2m sales expected this fiscal year

Street Fighter V will release on PS4 and PC this financial year, Capcom has confirmed, with the publisher expecting to sell 2 million units across both platforms by March 31, 2016.

A release window for the game was revealed in the publisher's latest financial results, where it confirmed that it had plans "to launch more titles in popular game series" during the current financial year, including Street Fighter V.

It remains unclear, however, whether the game will release this side of Christmas or in early 2016. Back in March, a post on Capcom's official blog revealed that the game was due to release in spring 2016. However, a reference to the date was later removed.

Expect to hear more on Street Fighter V during next month's E3.

February or March I would imagine. If it were this year, say November, I think 2 million would be too low a prediction, unless they were being very conservative.

 Should be a strong start to 2016 for PS4 with SFV and Uncharted 4



2 million between PS4 and PC seems very likely.



2M are possible. Hope to see a Vita version soon!



That's a good time to release SFV.

Hey that's actually pretty cool. So maybe something like SF V as next years february game and UC4 as the march game?



Sales estimates are too low. 4+ million might be a possibility by fiscal year. It depends on execution.



2M is definitely possible, especially thanks to PC.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Well it does depend on when it releases. If it comes sometime in late march then 2 million might be a little optimistic.



Oh, it's coming to PC? Didn't know that. Well that's interesting, maybe.
