link? cause if thats the case. SF4 (just itself not counting Super cause thats a different game) is way overtracked here.

VGChartz has all the versions of SFIV as SFIV.

well thats silly.

It is a shame because for all the people that bought it, most are in agreement that it is the best playing SF ever by a wide margin.
I wish people would try it out and give it a chance but the hatred is infectious and it's too easy to find yourself on the bandwagon.
I would love to see it get above 3 million but as we can see with The Division, gamers, despite their protests to the contrary are mostly sheep that follow trends like most other industries. Not to knock the Division, just an example!

I'd love people to be more open-minded!

Maybe people aren't jumping on the SFV bandwagon due to fatigue. I own SFV but frankly I haven't played it much. Instead I find myself spending more time with KI, feels more fresh and I just have more fun with it.

On paper The Division sounds like an interesting and unique game. While SFV at its core is more of the same. The average player could have more fun with Ultra Street Fighter IV right now.

If you say so Bub!

Not at this rate. The game launching like this was stupid and Capcom deserves all the crap they are getting. If the game had launched complete it would have had a better chance that is for sure.

Own:Nes,Snes,N64,Gamecube,Wii,WiiU,Gameboy Pocket,Gameboy Advance SP,DS,DSi,3DS XL,Sega Genesis,Sega Dreamcast,PS1,PS2,PS3,PSP,PSVita and Xbox 360.

Looking to get: Original Xbox

Even with an optimal launch this was never going to happen. SF2 was a landmark game for the genre as a whole and the highest selling game in the franchise.

I was hyped for this game but after i saw the " fight money " system they got in place my hype was zero. Grind fests in combat games ? no thanks.

Grinding doesn't bother me per se, but making me grind for characters in a game that has an unusually small roster sucks and selling them as an option is gross. They actually sell an overpriced season pass to unlock characters, that's crazy.

Just like sex sells. Lazyness/busy/grinding does too.
