Pretty bad. It released at a busy time of year. valentines day, easter and paddys day coming up. kids on mid term holidays and your comparing it to a game that released during a different holiday season. A holiday season all about giving gifts lol. Come on man. its barely out and your already trolling its sales.

In case you forgot, people felt RotTR was sent to its death by launching the same day as Fallout 4 and near other major titles.
SFV had no signficant competition I can think of.

Unfortunatly it did not have significant competition but it did have mediocre reviews (by the franchise standard). I wouldent call it a bomb, but SF5 underperformed no matter how we look at it. It will still easily pass the 2 million sales LT on PS4 alone, but I have a feeling Capcom was planning a 4-5 million seller here. Sure it still has the PC version + some life ahead of it, but the opening week was weak.
Never the less, Im predicting LT SF5 will probably outsell RotTR, but it wont be a big victory. Luckily both games came from publishers whom can afford a less then stellar launch, and both franchises will go on.
