You now what's funny, people thought RotTR bombed at first launching on the same day as Fallout 4 and near so many other major titles. But guess what happened? It sold well over time and had a strong first 10 weeks, sold great on PC as well in spite of being late. Meanwhile a game like SFV had a great opening and bad legs. Also did poor on PC. |
Sold on PC because launched 2 Months later and PC is one of the biggest user base, Street Fighter V had a Better First 10 Weeks than Tomb Raider, And Street Fighter did not bombed on PC, the Best selling PC Fighting game(of the whole genre) only sold 700 Thousands Units while the best selling Tomb Raider did 4+ Millions on PC, the Market for Fighting games on PC is Small.
We know that Street Fighter Shipped 1.4 Millions of units in 6 Weeks after Launch, The Game only sold 150k+ on PC after 3 Months, we can only track the PC Sales where the game don't sell because had a poor launch and because the Fighting market for the PC is small, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a Huge Sucess on PC yet it sold 400 Thousands of Units in 1 year and 3 months.
Street Fighter V despite the bad launch sold well over 1 Million on PS4 in 10 weeks, Tomb Raider, even with good launch and Launching on Holidays with deals giving it for free with other games, it sold Well over 1 Million counting Xbox 360 sales, we only have VG Chartz Numbers but the official Statement don't state that the game sold 1+ Million on Xbox One alone.
In both games we don't know how much each game sold on Launch and how much was sold in the next weeks, so you cannot state that Street Fighter V had a good launch and bad 10 weeks of sale, and cannot state the same about Tomb Raider, The Statistics state that Who purchased Street Fighter V, The Majority, is still playing it actively.
If the game had a good launch and poor weeks of sale the People who purchased it would see no value in playing it now, but the ones who are deep into the Fighting game genre don't matter to wait a little more for the content while they play online and save fighting money for the next characters.
