Lol despite massive bundling tr hasn't sold great, sunset overdrive was being given away for free a month later (look at their success with ratchet) and titanfall blew so many sales by not being on ps4 it ain't even funny.

You are going by the PR talk, where they tell you what you want to hear. Unless we see the contracts my opinion can't be proven wrong.

SFV below sales expecations. If it was developed for Xbox sales expecations would be higher and it would be still below. Not a valid argument. And plus extra dev costs for whet would be low xbox sales and no major cost cutter like Sony would assist them if it was on xbox.

Sure, EA would just lie to shareholders for PR. A shame Capcom hasn't learned that trick. LOL

What's the Pokken total?

I see you blissfully ignored everything else I said. But seeing as we are on titanfall EA not funding that for ps4 was a shocking mistake. They wised up for Titanfall 2 though. They want some of thet cheese

So remember when I made that thread about SFV flopping...

 

Still, I didn't expect such a large drop. But not surprised considering how poorly received it was.



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).

Uhh...I don't even know why digital is being discussed in this thread, really.



With that, we know that Pokken has done better than SFV on the PS4 in both the US and Japan digital+retail sold. That only leaves Europe as an unknown right now. I think it's safe to say that Capcom overshipped SFV by a lot, because I can't see Europe making up that big of a difference.

That being said, this is also just the case at the moment. The Wii U is pretty much being killed off next year so Pokken's legs might suffer afterwards, but at the same time SFV doesn't have great word of mouth or momentum at the moment. So it's hard to tell which will do better lifetime.

 

Yah! I don't get why they come here and then start talkig about Digital and WorldWide. When the title specifically says "Retail" and the "US". 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Im not sure if ZhugeEX has numbers he can share for in the US. Or NPD posted them.

Blissfully is right, there's lots of misinformation in there I don't care to correct.

And it's no surprise Respawn and EA are comfortable with Titanfall 2 enough to not need a MS investment, the first one reviewed great and sold very well. The first one was a rushed and risky new IP that EA wasn't comfortable investing much more into and Respawn was not going to give the IP to EA in exchange for more money. So in the end they got to release their game and keep their IP and PS4 gamers get Titanfall 2 with a full dev cycle and a larger investment than the original got. Seems a win for everyone.
