In what time frame? It should be well on its way to that.

Lifetime.

I looked it up, that expectation was for the fiscal year. PC and PS4 combined.

It could happen, but probably not at full price.

It's by the end of their current fiscal year, not lifetime.

Thats no what I read.

"Capcom also expects Street Fighter 5 to sell over 2 million copies during its lifetime. This prediction includes sales for the game in both physical and digital formats. The game will be out for the PC and PS4 only."

Gamestop, who initially reported it, say 2 million sold on PS4+PC in their current fiscal year.

Yeah I think they're going to fall short. Steamspy has SFV at ~123k at the moment and I don't even know if the PS4 version has sold even 500k yet.

While Playstation has been more popular with that genre, Xbox still has a lot of fighting fans.

I think its worth noting MKX had a better opening on X1 than SFV.

I find it a bit weird that Capcom expect only 2 million sold. MKX did more than that on the PS4 alone...

I was looking at the numbers on the link below, you'll notice SFIV sold a lot of units due to rereleases. Many avid SF bought SFIV a couple times because of these.

With that said, if this is the only release of SFV than we can't anticipate those same kind of sales boosts. Maybe this IP isn't as popular as we thought.

due to lack of content?

Lol at the people keep repeating on forums that Capcom wouldn't have made SF5 without Sony, a sequel to the most popular fighting game ever. It would come, just not as fast.

Also off topic but Sony's 3rd party deals have sucked mostly. Destiny was a bad game, same with SW Battlefront, all had content issues as well.

While the games didn't live up to expectations, they did a good job moving hardware. The most important thing for a business.

Yeah, Ultra Street Fighter 4 did horribly on the PS4.

The games themselves might have been light on content, but considering how many PS4s Destiny and Battlefront sold, I'd say Sony have made excellent third party deals this generation.

Yeah, despite the rocky start Destiny came good and sold a lot of hardware in the launch month. I still play regularly too.

Bloodborne was a corker of a deal and the COD and Battlefront deals kinda leaned on the shooter crowd at a time when Halo 5 was hitting.... Pretty good strategy overall. Not that they were all fantastic or anything. But it worked!
