I dont think it does.

It doesn't have that returning old franchise charisma anymore, it doesn't have that misterious painting art style and the first time 2D fighter as a 3D game impact, it's had several beta's where everything has been seen already and harcore players are saying its too easy.

For the casual gamer the roster size and the game modes are important. Alot of people buy MK for the story mode and SFV's won't be there at launch. This is basically a beta release. Not to mention the game releases in 2 weeks and we have seen no advertisement or hype building from capcom with trailers. The ones they did do say: cool feature to be released at a much later time. Finance our beta pls!

So, i can see how capcom doesnt predict more than 2m for the launch month. It seems realistic to me.

I myself won't be buying it until much later in the year, when its probably cheaper and will include the features that should've been out at launch. For pro gamers, getting it now is a must though.

I don't get why people are still thinking there will be other iterations of the game when Capcom have flat out said this will not happen. Street Fighter V will be updated via DLC and updates. They've clarified this in great detail several times.

According to Chartz 360 & Ps3 combined did around 7 million. This doesn't include editions which followed and I won't include them as many people traded the old for the new.

Unless a lot of the 360 players have bought a PS4, the I can't see it selling more than 7 million copies unless the fanbase has grown and there are a lot of Pc players who buy it too.

I think 2 million on PS4 & PC by end of March is a bit high unless the bundles sell well. SF4 on Ps3 according to Chartz did just a bit over a million in 6 weeks.

I think 5 million LTD including bundles, and PC is possible. 4 on PS4 and 1 on Pc.

I was thinking of doing the same, but I played the beta that ran over the weekend and they have a snippet of the character story mode - it was pretty good! That along with not losing fight money when you play online changed me from waiting to buying it at launch. I'm going to play through the character stories, earn fight money and then play through the story mode when it releases a month or so later. Hopefully that will help towards having enough money to unlock new players when they arrive. 

Maybe 3 millions.

I think Super Street Fighter V can definitely happen. With SF4 the playerbase was divided with the new releases and became smaller and smaller as new releases kept coming. This is not the case anymore and the original will get all updates but after 2-3 years there will be so much "new" content that a new player will be overwhelmed with all unlockable content. So why not release Super Street Fighter V which would give all the DLC characters, colors, stages without grinding, like a GOTY edition. Capcom comment just means players won't need to buy another version but it doesn't mean there can't be upgraded versions.

5m

10 million. Street fighter is big right now and so is the PS4.

2.5 million for the vanilla version

5.3million, the 'Super' Editions later to add to that abit.

It won't outsell SF II on SNES, that's for sure.

Maybe 4-5 million at retail.
