The Brazilian's Localization was Incomplete, the Voice acting seems that the Voice Actors, have the same Voice and the same Acting skill, as the voice of Google Translator's Woman.

Street Fighter V, came incomplete only because of Capcom's Pro Tour, but will have heavy support and will have great legs because will have a lot of Tournaments, they will Add everything later, but the Launch is Broken.

 

People seems to condem the game only because the game did not was on the First Spot on UK.

 

With Steam + Japan + UK, we have over 166 Thousands units sold, only with 4 Countries + Steam, still have Dozens of other countries, and even the USA Numbers,  I Don't know why the owner of the Thread, said that the game would do just 250 Thousands First week, Worldwide.

 

even with Japan, UK, USA, and Steam, already is more than 250 Thousands, and still have Germany, France, so i think that this thread is to Down-play Street Fighter, the game will sell 1 Millions units much faster, and on a much slower Sales season, than Rise of the Tomb Raider, even without Steam.

 

And comparing Street Fighter, to Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter V, sold 103-105 Thousands first week on Steam, and Mortal Kombat X, sold 123-125 Thousands on Steam, so is not so bad.

 

And about being worth, Of course the Deal is worth, If games like Tekken, or Street Fighter, does not appear on other console, this will make the Xbox, have less appeal for the Fighting genre fans, than the other console, and the player will either purchase the Playstation, or play on PC, Fighting games have a lot of Fans, Tekken 6 + Tag Tournament 2 + Street Fighter IV, with all the versions, sold over 14-15 Millions together.

Hell, it has more than that in pre-orders alone:

Street Fighter V (PS4)
Capcom, Fighting
1 28,651 274,321

Over 274,000 pre-orders on PS4, and over 100,000 sales on Steam with US sales still incoming.

It's already sold more than ROTTR did in its opening week on 360 and XB1. That sold 330,000 sales WW in its first week. 

Yes, and the last Tomb Raider, and Street Fighter, game, sold nearly the same, over 10 Millions Units, we just have UK (that is 3 countries i think) Japan, and Steam's Numbers, the Playstation 4, is avaliable on more than 100 Countries, and we only have Data, where have just 5-5.7 Millions of Playstation 4, from the nearly 40 Millions consoles sold Worldwide, and they are predicting this as 60-70% of the Total sales of Street Fighter V (the owner of the Thread expect 250 Thousands, even knowing the numbers from Japan, and Uk), on their Predictions, i think that is a little undertracked from my point of View.

Where did you get the 5-5.7 mil PS4s from? And how exactly does that pertain to this?

Acording to VG Chartz, PS4, have 3 Millions units sold on UK, and Playstation 4, sold more than 2 Millions of units as of November of 2015, on Japan, so we just have the sales Data of Street Fighter, that were avaliable for 5-5.7 Millions of consoles, still have other regions to look, and still have USA.

I think third party companies are getting the message that console exclusives are a bad idea.

This isn't the PS2 era anymore, people expect all "big" third party games to be multi-plat (and that's great ... more power to the consumer), if you're hiding your game away, it just comes off as a "small" release.

With development budgets the way they are these days, I think many companies are going to get the message now -- console exclusives are a bad idea.

Big multiplats and games that would happen anyway shouldn't be exclusives, other partnerships are valid.

It really didn't. Splatoon came out for 38€ not 65€. Big difference.

Now, now. No need to spread dismisinformation.

Now, now. No need to accuse someone of spreading misinformation and then immediately do it yourself. See how the currrency Nem uses isn't US "$"?

Those are all pronouncements made with the assumption that SFV would sell 2 million units by end of March 2016. It clearly won't. This is an outcome that's just as bad for Sony as it is for Capcom.

End of the day - Capcom will buy the rights back. And Sony will let them do that as it's now clear that SF exclusivity means zilch long-term.

You seem sure of yourself that all of these event will happen. Remember that Sony doesn't own SF. However, there are contracts that prevents Capcom from making this specific numbered series from going any where else outside of PS4/PC. Capcom can't buy their way out of that. They are stretched thin as it is.

I see this exclusive the same way Resident Evil was exclusive to the the GC. There were contracts then that prevented cross-platform release, but then Capcom acted in their own best interest, paid back Nintendo, and went on to put RE on every other console and platform they possibly could.

When it comes to failures with exclusivity, we've seen this movie before and know precisely what Capcom will likely do - especially if they feel there's a big upside to suddenly go multi-platform, which is obviously there for SFV.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

The Game already is on Multiple plataform, is Really worth to piss off Sony, that is making all the Marketing, and helped with Development, just to launch the game for Xbox ?, and we still don't have the USA, Actual Numbers, the Numbers of UK+ Japan, of Street Fighter V, is greater than the numbers of UK+Japan, of Tomb Raider, Even so Square Enix, did not broke the Timed Exclusivity, the GameCube, sold 6 Times less than Playstation 2, so we have a big difference here.

Well they only make these deals for money. If Sony offered more money than SFV had the potential of making, then its arguably worthwhile.

SFV lacked the hype of SFIV and I don't just blame that on exclusivity.

That was all an exageration and they always had numerous games in development. They have been working on several RE games, they published Life is Strange, Monster Hunter is printing money, and they even released a few remasters.

SFV went exclusive because Sony offered a fuck ton of money. They paid so much that even MS said no thanks.

Monster Hunter, is a Hendheld game, so does not cost much to do, all they did not have released games from Several franchises, like Megaman, Devil May Cry (the last was not a Sucess), the Only game that they have that sell well Worldwide (with exception of Megaman, and Street Fighter), is Resident Evil, that since 2012, don't Release a Main Entry, and does not seems that will release so soon, they only made a Episodic game, that is Revelations, and will make a MMORPG-LIke, that is Umbrella Corps.

Life is Strange, is published by Square Enix.

Out-side Monster hunter, that is a Handheld and a Japan Exclusive, where is Capcom's Main Games ?, they  had so little money, that they made Multiple versions of the Same game, now they will not release a new version of Street Fighter V, and we will see a true Support for it.

Street Fighter V'S Deal, is the same kind of Deal that Microsoft, made with Capcom, for Dead Rising 3.

They don't a few Monster Hunter games, Dragon's Dogma Online, Two RE ports released and three more coming, Umbrella Corps, RE7 is in the works,  two DMC ports, and numerous things in Japan I won't list.

The point is they've been busy and stopped taking risk with big budget garbage. SFV was a low risk game, they didn't need Sony's money to make that happen but I understand why they took it. Dead Rising 3 was a real risk but MS covered that.

I really think everyone is far too invested in seeing this game fail to see some obvious things like sf4 launched in 2009 after a huge huge hiatus and a lot of people bought it for nostalgia's sake.
Now look at the super and ultra sales... Do any of you think Sony or capcom would not be aware of sales trends for those releases?
From what I see it sold well in europe and us. So dont discount it just yet.
