My friends list is pretty varied. It's still anecdotal of course but I like having friends with varied taste. I have friends from Europe that are 5 or 6 hours ahead of me and friends from the West Coast that are 3 hours behind. It's haven't seen anyone play SCIV in ages. I still see people playing the usual games like Halo 3, Gears of War 1, Gears of War 2, CoD4, CODWaW, GTAIV (usually The Lost and the Damned), and SFIV. I've seen my friends playing older or less popular games like Lost Odyssey, The Last Remnant, Culdept Saga, Tales of Vesperia...hell one of my friend swas playing Infinite Undiscovery last week.

Part of the reason I picked up SCIV is because so many of my friends did. After a couple weeks few of them were on line. I got tired of the laggy online play against strangers and unbalanced characters, so I put SCIV back on the shelf. Soul Calibur used to be my favorite 3D fighter but the flash over substance route Namco has taken has robbed series of elite status in my view.

It could be a ps3 vs 360 thing as there are certain 360 games that seem to have extremely high attach ratios and they're all played online so the userbase may be overtly skewed towards these i.e many may rather keep playing halo 3 online with lots of people than waiting for matches on sc4. My friends are also highly varied regionwise (I even have some people who play games with titles written in Kanji lol) but I did make about 10 friends on sc4 who added me after games so perhaps that contributes to my perspective.  I have 100 friends so 10% may or may not be overtly high. Some of my friends (2 guys come to mind) actually got sf4 and returned to sc4 after only 2 days lol.

Tekken 6 will be the Highest selling HD Fighter.

But nobody's talking about quality, just sales.

Though Tekken is my favorite, so I'd have to disagree with you there as well.

I Know. But quality does drive sales. Anyway T6 will be the best fighter this gen , bar none. IMO

Agreed. I don't remember the last time I was actually hyped for a Tekken game, but I really can't wait to get my hands on T6.

I would say Seth is harder if you're playing both on the hardest difficulty setting.

Anything below that, though, and I would go with God Gugal, because his supers kill you in one hit.

which Rugal are you actually referring to any way, since he's in a good half-dozen games

Overshipping is great. For example, Oblivion for the 360 has been massively overshipped here, and because of that you can get it for 5 euro. Nice price for a game like that!
