Whoa. Wait a sec. I'm simply reporting what a very respectable industry analist said based on NPD numbers. I might have sneaked a jab somewhere, but thats because forum rules don't let you simply copy/paste stuff.

Good for Pokken, congrats !
But in the end I think SFV will have better legs. We will see this after June.

I cant see the game having legs with it constantly selling $20-30 and still not picking up the pace. Yes more content is coming but word of mouth already hurted the game so much. There is a reason the game is overshipped like crazy. (Probably sold around 700k WW if that)

Sell in: Shipment from publisher to retail store
Sell through: Sale from retailer to customer

The two terms are not interchangeable.
Also, all units sold in may not be sold through.

SF sold 1.4 Million according to capcom. In what way can Pokken outsell SF?

Pokken sell to consumers is alot higher though. 

yes they are quite interchangeable when it comes to games in todays digital age. Most physical retail games are printed only that much that they will eventually sell out, its not the 90s 00s anymore.

Capcom included digital numbers in this 1.4 million so there is a lot of sold numbers with this too

Well, in France I think the best price I've seen is approximately 53$ (47€) for the PS4 version. Word of mouth seems pretty good for me, there is just some players that want it to be bad (like for others games).

I know a lot of players that are waiting the dlc in June in order to buy it (including me maybe, I'm more a GG/KOF player), but I don't know at what scale is this trend.

Oh god lol.

Street Fighter V has sold 268,000 unit by end of March in USA at retail.
60,000 unit in Japan, and we also have digital for this one, about ~75,000.

In Europe it bombed everywhere, it sold less than 30K in 3 weeks in UK, Less than 3,500 first MONTH in Spain, in Germany no numbers but was beated by Pokemon SMD first week. Digital sales some people says lol, Street Fighter in Europe was out of TOP 20 PSN in the launch month.

Like seriusly, the only Europe numbers we have for Pokkèn are Spain numbers, and guess? First week of Pokkèn in Spain was more than double of Street Fighter V firsth month, 7,500 VS less than 3,500.

ALL NUMBERS WE KNOW FOR SURE, Japan, USA, and part of Europe show that Pokkèn has destoyed Street Fighter.

Those 1.4 million shipped means nothing lol, Nintendo has SOLD 1 million unit of Mario Maker first month, and they shipped 1.88 million, they almost overshipmed by more than double that game, this is the same Street Fighter situation.

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

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.

Win for everyone except EA who if they had of ported it to ps4 would have made major dolla.  That's probably the worst decision of the gen so far.  

 

Of course you ignore it because you have no reply.  If you did you would have replied.

This. Don't worry, the real hardcore gamers and long leg of digital sales will save SFV LOL
