According to VG Chartz, Street Fighter II for SNES is still the best-selling entry in the franchise. Street Fighter V was launched a couple of weeks ago on PS4, only to meet very low sales. However, some people believe that future updates will make the game sell better with time.

Here are the numbers:

 

Street Fighter II - SNES: 6.30 Million (lifetime)

Street Fighter V - PS4: 0.60 Million (so far)

 

The question is: Can Street Fighter V on PS4 sell enough to beat Street Fighter II on SNES lifetime? What do you think?

Wow, never knew Street Fighter II sold that well.Its going to be an uphill battle for sure.But I think its hard to predict, since SF5 will go for a long time appeal.We will see



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

No way in hell. Sorry to say, but even the best legs in the world won't get it close to 6 million.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Lol. Not at this rate.

Plus Street Fighter 2, and Mortal Kombat, are DEFINING fighting games. They helped blow up the genre in the first place.

Didn't realize that SFII on SNES did that well.

No way SFV is outselling.



"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."

Not likely. SF2 was something new and addicting back then, but time's change.

No. They'll be really lucky if they can get close to half that amount.



bet: lost

Street Fighter II was one of the best selling games of its era, it seemed like one of those games almost everyone that owned a SNES had.

I think Street Fighter V would be happy with half those sales.
