I don't doubt that it will sell the most in Japan. Thats the point. Arcades are still popular over there for a reason. With Street Fighter 4 coming, they are going to make bank off of SF4. That will be the fighting game of the year no doubt, Soul calibur coming in second and Tekken in 3rd. Tekken will always remain number 1 to me however and I will play the hell out of that game. :)

If we're talking arcade profits, I doubt SF will beat Tekken (and SC isn't even ported to arcades anymore, so that doesn't even count), though it'll probably reign supreme for the first few months after it's release (I'm waiting for Arcadia's August chart for the top 10 Japanese arcade games...that's when we'll know). If we're talking about general releases, then it'll be a battle between SF4, SC4, and MK/DC. Tekken 6 wouldn't even be in the running for that, considering that it released nothing this year (the arcade port was released last year, and the console port will be released...well...I really wish I could tell you).

I hear that SF4 is getting great press from the arcades in Japan. No SF's arcades have been sold to America though. Theres only one Tekken 6 Arcade in America and it's in Texas. Yes, I believe the true war for sales will b e between SF4, SC4 and MK/DC. Personally myself I cannot wait for Blue Blaz (the new guilty gear) on PS3. Battle fantasia is also coming and I cannot wait for that one either. Those games will not be selling very well even though I cannot wait.

According to SD Tekken, there are actually quite few T6 arcade machines in U.S. (emphasis on few)---two in California, two in Texas, one in Nevada, one in Wisconsin, and one in New York. Still not that many, and I hear the waits for the machines are quite long. 
I really do wish the Guilty Gear series was more successful. I've always thought it was highly addicting. But the 2D-fighting genre has suffered even more than the 3D-sector over the past decade. But of course, I don't have a PS3 (though I'll probably be getting one soon, as I really want LittleBigPlanet).
|
Even though the Blu Blaz game is an exclusive on the PS3, the Guilty Gear action adventure game is coming to the 360. Im buying a PS3 myself and I don't see whats so great about LBP myself. Games like that need a direct storyline. The developers have said to get the best out of the game you have to play with friends. Just great. I only play my fighters with friends and party games. LBP will not be a hit with them. If I play a platformer it better have a storyline and everything, not a full customization game.
|
Well, I love creating stuff, and I'm a sucker for cute things, so LBP is a must buy for me (the only other PS platformer that I've ever really liked was Crash Bandicoot, and, quite honestly, I couldn't even tell you the story to that game). Never underestimate the power of cute---if Sony is smart, they'll release LBP in a bundle similar to that of MGS4. I guarantee you that moms everywhere will give it one look and decide that's it's a great present for their kid(s).
And I'm assuming the game will have some sort of online multiplayer option. That doesn't concern me, though, as I'm not a big online gamer.
