Well no previous figtning game this generation have made such huge arcade stick shortages :D
Then again it might only show how badly it was customized for gamepad controls (i have made more ultra combos in 15 minutes of stick usage then in 30 hours of pad gameplay :D )

Saying: Brawl only to annoy the OP for annoying me by creating one of the lamest loaded question ever on the internet.

The OP should of been;

"Is SF4 the highest selling SF4 this gen?"

BRAWL! Says. No!

I don't really like either game though, would much rather play Castlevania: Judgment =P.

Screw Brawl... give me my Power Stone back you assholes! Anyway I think that Tekken will tank... 1-3 million... only because you people hope it'll do so well though... someone has to oppose you haha :p

Dead or Alive is a pretty good franchise

SF will be outsold by Tekken obviously. Look at past Tekken sales!

Also, I will be pre-ordering Blaz Blue and KOF. However, I think Blaz Blue will do 15k US sales, and KOF will be in the 30k range at most. Those games don't sell over here unless they release them at $15. Look at US KOF sales.

I'm probably being overly generous with KOF prediction.

For record 98 ultimate match is about 15k in the US right now at a price of $15-$20.
XI did 80k in the US at $15 life to date.

Hell yes ! tekken ftw !

Tekken won't touch SF4's numbers.

That series is done.

Tekken 6. I'd also like to add that Tekken 5 is undertracked on this site....

What was pretty much a remake of Tekken 5 managed to sell 2 million on a handheld with a horrible attach rate, and Tekken 6 has been destroying everything (including SF4) in Japanese and Korean arcades.

I wouldn't exactly call that being "done."

In any case, to answer the OP's question, SF4 does indeed look like it'll stop under 3 million. Tekken will easily exceed that.

Seriously, they have a PSP remake of Tekken 5 beating the real Tekken 5 on PS2.
