Forums - Gaming - Prediction: Fire Emblem Fates Will Outsell Street Fighter 5 Come Feb NPD!

IkePoR on 24 February 2016

I love your sportsmanship. Good show on such a bold prediction.

Sadly, SFV in all it's horrible launch will still do amazing because of the competitive crowd that just want frame data, the casual that knows no better and wants boob physics, and the sheep that will buy it because "it's Street Fighter." Those reasons atop the fact that the gaming public is masochistic and loves when the game industry fucks them over as hard as possible.

Fire Emblem will initially sell more than SFV, but SFV will have the better legs. Definitely!

Doubtful of this one.. a lot of digital downloads for the 2nd version means less physical copies sold :/

I wonder how npd will track all this?

SFV is gonna destroy FE Fates in terms of sales, mainly cause it's gonna have stronger legs.



"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."

SF is going to beat FE, it may be close tho.

Thread is about feb only. That said i dunno if FE fates will have strong legs, but its to note that awakening went from 60k FW to over 700k+ in the US. Maybe close to a million now

I dont get what you mean....... No one would be insane enough to get both versions PHYSICALLY! Maybe if you're rich though. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Of course it will the vast majority of SF5 sales will be digital and NPD is US only and retail only. Fighting games this gen sell better digitally and worldwide.

It's in the best interest of gaming if Street Fighter V bombs and moves into bargain bins quickly.

tbone51, I hope that you will be right by a comfortable margin.

What will you do when the game goes on to sell millions contrary to your 'desires' ?
