Street Fighter V Shipped Less Than 100K Copies In Last 3 Months

After Capcom released their Fiscal Year reports, it was revealed that Street Fighter V shipped less than 100,000 copies throughout the quarter.

[Hoffmann]

Inb4 Capcom /Yoshinori Ono share their belief that the players are to blame that there won't be a Street Fighter VI.

[Gazondaily]

Would be pretty bad if they said that.

They should release this on Xbox. More sales would help

[Hoffmann]

If they can't sell a lot copies on PS4 and PC, an Xbox port won't help a lot either.

Capcom screwed Street Fighter and those gamers that don't care about tournaments and the online competition a lot. The game is not as good as previous Street Fighter games ..its not as fun except your priorities really are just online play and practicing for tourneys.

[naruga]

somehow i knew that SF5 will be a failure....Capcom tried to get away with big sales and the most cheap SF ever made....unexploited U4 engine, poor visuals ,poor inspiration, poor art direction (the most important ) , poor new characters, halved content ....they deserve what is happening to them...i said it before---> look at King of fighter 14 its classes superior than SF5 because they spend some time on it.....they didnt throw just a U4 engine (the worst and cheapest option imo for Capcom) and their game lore/characters in a mixer, and whatever garbage poured out from there, tried to sell it for AAA game

[DevilOgreFish]

I wish they already get to Marvel Vs Capcom 4. love that series.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Well, let's think about it. PS4 gamers (and maybe PC as well) strongly value single player content. Without single player content, how can they possibly expect to appeal to this group of gamers? Xbox gamers (as a percentage) would probably have accepted SF5 more than Ps4 / PC gamers (though that doesn't mean it would've sold more seeing as there are at least 2x as many PS4s as X1s in consumer hands)

[bloop]

@Hoffman: It's pretty bad that the only thing going for it is the online and they still haven't fixed the most glaring problem with it. I just played SFV for the first time in a long time and had about 20 matches tonight. Out of those 20 matches, 8 of them were with players that were on 15+ win streaks and yep, you guessed it, quit as soon as I was about to beat them and keep their win streak and points!! I can't believe they still haven't implemented penalties for rage quitters. How hard can it be when there was already a penalty system in SFIV?? Ranked is really the only thing worth buying/playing this game for yet the fundamental system can still be abused MONTHS after release!!

[Criti-Choco]

@devil you know thats not happening due to Disney owning marvel right?

That is the primary reason why MvC3 has not had any support since then.

[darthv72]

It certainly wouldnt have hurt if the game was on xb1. And capcom could add in cross platform play.

Sony basically paid to keep the game off xbox. And ps fans want to cry foul over timed exclusivity with rotr. This is way worse especially with what capcom delivered with sony money.

They still have a chance to break even. They could port the game to xbox using uwp and release a more complete version to save face.

@abzdine, you say that like you know for certain an xb1 version wouldnt help. Point is, there is really only killer instinct so the fighting community of xbox fans would have reason to support this unlike the ps fighting fans. On ps4 there are a few other choices.

SF4 last gen shows there would have been a market for SF5 on xbox. Capcom got paid to hurt the SF fan base.

[XBgamer]

Yes definitive edition on Xbox one with all the DLC and game modes for $60/£45.

[Mulando]

Xbox already has Killer Instinct, which is free with one changing Character (changing every few Weeks/Month). On PS4 there was no competition so far. So there are not only less potential customers, even worse, there is competition for a not so good game.
Well but at least a port should be done really easy, but it doesn't matter with sales that low.

[bouzebbal]

xbox release won't help with anything.
Many fans are holding themselves back from buying this game because it is incomplete and missing key modes.
It's a pity because gameplay is actually pretty solid.

[XisThatKid]

Seriously your trying to tell me it would have made it to 200k in 3 months with X1 release?! I think not. Also is this counting pc sales too?

[trooper_]

The game had too little content for $60 dollars. They should have charged $40. It has nothing to do with being exclusive.

[donthate]

SFV sold poorly because it was released as a half game, and only one console cutting out at least about third of it's potential fans. You can quickly see how Sony's "exclusivity deal" hurt SFV. It forced a faster release date with an incomplete game, and on top of it, it excluded a bunch of customers.

Too bad, soo sad... for Capcom, but they sort of deserved it for making such bad decisions completely against the best for the series and their fans. So fans just responded appropriately.

[Godmars290]

No. It would be typical.

[gangsta_red]

@ bloop

"Out of those 20 matches, 8 of them were with players that were on 15+ win streaks and yep, you guessed it, quit as soon as I was about to beat them"

Yup, this is exactly what happened to me. Except out of 20 I would say 13 of those matches people rage quit on me. It got so bad that I expected the game to time out when I was close to beating a person.

This is what happens when you implement rewards for winning, people will do whatever it takes to keep winning and earn more credits.

@Eyeofsauron
The game would have definitely sold on Xbox One. Seriously, I have no idea where some people believe that it wouldn't have.

[pinkcrocodile75]

I've played SFV on PS4 and apart from the seriously unintentional homoerotic story between Ken and Ryu it's a good game. I half expected to see a still with Ken holding a B#tt pl#g.

However the poor sales is down to the heap of sparse shite they originally released. The stills in the forced training are a slap in the face to gamer's in comparison to Mortal Kombat X.

As for releasing it on Xbox One, it's a bit late for that now that Sony have already handed over their first born to Capcom Japan. However much I love street fighter, for me Mortal Kombat will have the edge and I'm also loving Killer Instinct Season 2, as it makes me laugh.

I suppose my preference has always shown as after I'm done playing mortal kombat, I find my self saying "Sonia Weeens" Still makes me giggle.

[-Foxtrot]

@Hoffmann

"Capcom screwed Street Fighter and those gamers that don't care about tournaments and the online competition a lot."

Yeah exactly. Even FPS games are starting to feel like that

"Oooooo lets see if we can make this game an e-sport game"

I mean look at this

""Capcom also recently released Capcom Pro Tour-themed DLC, including 3 new costumes (retailing $6 each), new colours, new titles and a new stage (retailing at $10) that updates based on Pro Tour events, like EVO. Proceeds from DLC sales will increase the Capcom Pro Tour prize pool."

So they want US to pay for a prize pool the majority of us have no chance of being a part of....yeah ok then.

Everytime they do they focus more on the online and the core game is lacking. The last thing Capcom should have been doing is thinning themselves out like that when they had to have Sony's help to get funded.

[RookieMonsterLives]

This is only store copies. I am sure the digital copies sold made up more than half the sales on PS4. This is premature for doom and gloom. It was announced it has sold 1.5m copies in its launch month.

[Kiwi66]

In the article it says they shipped 1.4 million so just accept it the game just didn't do well

[BlackTar187]

Kiwi shipped implies physical copies. Shipped 1.4 million but how much digital did it sell? I bought it digital

[XBgamer]

So you think Digital copies would exceed 100K even with facts like digital sales only make up about 30% of sales?..you do the math on 100K+30% extra for digital!

[BlackTar187]

"It was announced it has sold 1.5m copies in its launch month."

You counter with
"In the article it says they shipped 1.4 million"

You see how your response wasn't necessarily on topic to the comment you were responding too? You say 1.4 million shipped as if that proves it couldn't have sold 1.5 million in launch month.

MAY 8th Capcom reported that Street Fighter 5 had sold 1.4 million copies across the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms — and that these numbers included digital downloads.

So i wonder why he got all the disagrees? He is .1 million off but what he said was pretty darn close to the stated fact by Capcom. You guys are hilarious sometimes.

[ServerBOT]

My distrust started with sf x tekken.

[lxeasy]

They Should have released the game on Xbox 1, More gamers to sell to.

[princejb134]

I didn't buy because I'm waiting for super ultra street fighter V. But honesty I just don't trust capcom anymore. Last game I bought from them was devil May cry 4

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Good
I hope they learn their lesson that exclusive deals don't always pay off.

TR RotTR had the same fate

[badz149]

it's wasn't the exclusivity and you know that pretty well. the game was released to harsh critics because of its own bareboned nature - so little contents for a full priced game! updates were coming of course but the game itself shouldn't have been released in the state that it was!

TRoTR was the victim of its own timing. releasing the same day as FO4?! they should've released it at least 2 weeks earlier at the latest and the game would have some room to breath.

[conanlifts]

It would have sold poorly yes. But if it wasn't exclusive it would likely have shifted 50% more copies. So it would have helped a bit.
Having said this Capcom should have delayed the game and released it when it was complete, this would have had the biggest impact on sales for sure.

[Hoffmann]

A bad game is a bad game..no matter on how many platforms it is.

edit: yes I played /bought it. ..and returned it 3 days after launch already.

[legionsoup]

Have you even played it? I've been playing fighting games since Yi Ar Kung Fu in the 80s arcades, and Street Fighter V is the best playing fighter I've had the chance to enjoy. Is it missing modes and single player content? Yes. Does that make it bad? Not at all. I play it nearly an hour or more every day, and I get every game that comes out. My play time doesn't consist of a justification to "get my money's worth" since I have so much choice for gaming in my life. I simply play what is good and fun at the time, and I've been playing Street Fighter V since it launched in February.

I know you think you are cleaver with this kind of response, but have an educated, thorough reply. My bet is that you have never played it and wish it was on Xbox. Which honestly wouldn't be bad, but it's not, so live with it.

[naruga]

it has nothing to do wiht exclusivity ..it was just cheaply made ...probably lazy Capcom after they got the budget from Sony , paid no money to make a quality game , as they didnt care ...Capcom has lost alot of its core talented devs and the current ones seem are not even at the slightest worth as the previous ones

[Vegamyster]

Tomb Raider probably would have sold better if it didn't out the same day as Fallout 4 lol, that was a huge mistake. In the case of SFV, it just lacked tons of features from the previous games, it was half baked.

[NotEvenMyFinalForm]

and still half-baked.

[MachuchalBrotha316]

Dont play that bs man....RoTR sold better than SF. Probably still is and when it releases on PS4 you can add another few hunnit thou-million...

[Sparta07]

How do you know tomb raider sold better?
@thisgamer, wow! You're a genius /s
I've check it doesn't say how much rotr has sold. All it says that it sold better on pc then xbox. If you have nothing helpful to say then stfu.

[thisgamer503]

@Sparta07

This crazy thing called Google, Yahoo, Bing. Take your pick.

@Sparta07

Yeah? And SF5 sells on both PS4 and PC just like RoTR. What's your point?

[ShaunCameron]

SFV being an exclusive was a blessing in disguise as Capcom didn't have to pay double in printing and licensing costs having to sell double just to turn in a profit.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

If they don't always pay off, then that means they do pay off sometimes, right? So what lesson are you talking about?

[lastking95]

Didnt TR do 3 million?

[Teflon02]

If you could giving away the game with Every console and putting it on sale for 40 plus during christie sure. TR failed

[Condemnedman]

Teflon
it didn't fail it was a great game as for Street fighter Sony can keep it..

[Saijahn]

ROTTR released alongside fallout, that's what hindered its sales numbers. A buggy ugly game that has fan loyalty beyond most other games ever.

[XBgamer]

Actually RoTTr sold far more in less time on Xbox and PC..but I agree with your other statement about exclusive deals being bad.

[bouzebbal]

WTH are you on about? You are completely ignorant of the situation now are you?
SFV is incomplete. Exclusivity has absolutely nothing to do with this.

[Christopher]

It was the rush to get this out before EVO that killed this one. They should have just pushed it up 3-4 months with all the content we expect and aimed for it to appear at the next event. Poor decision on management's part here, to be honest.

[gangsta_red]

The Ryu pic is just as funny as the Ken duplicate posted on here.

SFV is the worse in the series so far, just an all around unappealing game. Bare bones, drip fed content, new characters with no cinematic specials, horrible new character designs that are uninteresting, over priced DLC, extreme grinding that only caters to the hardcore and being on one console and crapping on their 360 fans didn't help either.

"Capcom also recently released Capcom Pro Tour-themed DLC, including 3 new costumes (retailing $6 each), new colours, new titles and a new stage (retailing at $10) that updates based on Pro Tour events, like EVO. Proceeds from DLC sales will increase the Capcom Pro Tour prize pool."

This is part of the reason SFV is a bust.

[Concertoine]

I think one of the big reasons it flopped was because they milked SF4 to oblivion. They were releasing updated versions of it all the way to 2014. When SF4 came out we hadn't seen a SF game in like 8 years, it had this revolutionary art style and great graphics. SF5 comes after we've been burned out on SF, and with little visual evolution like past games in the series had

[gangsta_red]

Agreed, people were on pins and needles waiting for the next SF4 and the switch to 3-D graphics, full cinematic ultras and other bits really put that game over the top.

SFV came out on the heels of SFIV still being played and also due to it being out longer, IV was a complete game with a full roster. SFV felt like it had taken three steps backwards instead of forward when it was released. On top of that like you mention the graphic style was all that different which made the game look like SFIV.V

I remember the graphic style Capcom showed off in their concepts for SFV. It was dark and Tekken like, to me that would have been a great style to go with.

[ShadowKnight]

Mortal Kombat will always be the best fighting game this gen imo! Even though SF is a decent game I blame Capcom for lack of content in SF and not giving enough effort.

[Kallisti]

Have you played Guilty Gear Xrd? That game is pretty awesome too.

[jrshankill]

I think there are a lot of factors why SFV was a bust:

1. Lack of arcade / single player content on release
2. Uninspired art direction
3. Poor faith in Capcom ("There will only be 1 version of SFV"... like we haven't heard that before)
4. Didn't look like much of an upgrade from SFIV
5. Tailored to competeitive / pro players.
6. No "selling point" characters. Heavy promoion of Charlie Nash.. who cares?
7. Poor redisgns of characters (Nash, Ken, Vega, Bison)
8. MKX and KI already on the market, absolutely killing it

[Yi-Long]

Every time I start thinking about getting it, Capcom will turn around and do something stupid again with it. The self-censorship, the lacking of modes, the ridiculously overpriced recent DLC (25 bucks(!!!) for a new stage and a few new costumes/colours I believe...), etc etc.

I'll be looking at the alternatives (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, etc) before I consider buying it.

[gangsta_red]

King of Fighters will be releasing next month. It may not be a looker, but 50 characters, single and multi player and story mode, it's what SFV should have been.

[Yi-Long]

Played the demo and like the gameplay. Didn't mind the graphics (OK, not great, but still colourful and fluid).

Only slight problem I had with it is that when I changed the language settings to Japanese, it changed everything to Japanese, so voices AND written text. I want the voices to be Japanese but the menu-texts to be in English. That was my only gripe.

[theshredded]

I played KOFIV and anyone thinking that'll top sfv is dead wrong. Getting to do most specials feels akward and rather impossible . Having no simple combos other than the lp combo or special ones is going to piss off a lot of people and the characters aren't fleshed out it's clearly quantity>quality here. Negatives aside, I like that you not only button mash but move and dodge in the game more than other games but molesting the d-pad in order to do specials is too much for me and people who don't play fighting games. And can these Japanese fighting games get rid of the hp lp...and replace them with simple buttons? I'm glad I played DOA5 or I'd be lost. I played the demo for hrs and can easily beat 4 starred opponents with Iori. the fighters are wacky and the gfx are okay. At first I was surprised by the gfx in the training between Iori and the other fighter but after playing versus you can clearly tell that the others aren't on par. Tekken 7 so far is the saving grace for this generation.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Like gangsta said, new KOF is coming and it'll knock the hell out of this..

[superchiller]

Meant to upvote you but accidentally down voted, when my cat bumped my arm, lol. Totally agree, looking forward to KOF!

[NotoriousWhiz]

Seriously, how do they not have an undo button?

[BQ32]

honestly even with sfv being barebones the gameply shits all over kof. played that demo a lot and from a competitive gamers perspective it doesnt compare.

[Majin-vegeta]

You crazy if you think that.KOF is a games for casual.

[Tetsujin]

@ theshred

I played KoF at Evo this year, and it's what SF5 should have been; giant roster, balanced game play, and an actual sense of accomplishment when you complete a match. Don't just judge the game based off the demo from the PSN store.

SF 5 only has recognition because of the name, not because it's a good fighter. If I had it my way I'd go back to Alpha 3, 3 3rd Strike, and Hyper SF2, leave 4 and 5 alone.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Holy hell that's awful!!!! That's barely a speck of sand in the Sahara. Is this retail and digital combined?!

[Majin-vegeta]

You can only ship retail not digital...

[Yui_Suzumiya]

My bad.. I was tired when I wrote that, lol

[Brandnewfan610]

Lmfao

[Christopher]

Tell that to Diablo 3. They shipped digital when all that was on the disc was a small MB installer to download the game ;)

[sadsatan]

i sold mine last week. frame lag is bad, and i hated story mode

[Veneno]

Lol the frame lag was bad? You sound so legit....

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Rekt

[Dmagic]

Frame lag lmfao something tells me you just suck and decided to say that because you saw other people bring up something with "frame lag".

[sadsatan]

https://www.youtube.com/wat... whos the fool now? nom nom

[Dmagic]

You still its called input lag FOOL and someone worried about beating story mode sure as hell would not even notice it competitive people will because of a deep understanding of how sf works i doubt anyone trying to defeat the mighty bison is going to say hey its a extra frame of lag here so stop it.

[superchiller]

Can't believe that Capcom shipped SFV on disc without a huge portion of the game (including single player mode). What were they thinking?

[Veneno]

Pretty much every game is now shipping this way but SF5 is especially bad.

[Gwiz]

Are they surprised?lol

[PaleMoonDeath]

Mybe because we're waiting for the full game, we aren't stupid.

[PlatinumGX]

What a failure, but it was expected. Not even top players like the game, much less casuals.

[ARESWARLORD]

No arcade mode. enough said

[superchiller]

Boom! Hit the nail on the head. Can't believe they shipped the retail version without it. Huge mistake.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I'm honestly surprised arcade mode is as big a deal as it is for people. I hear so much about how the whole fighting genre is niche, and it's unforgiving blah blah. I didn't think people played fighting games to play the AI. Seems like a waste to me.

[Veneno]

Agree. But Capcom still screwed up. Story mode is the new arcade mode and it shippe d without it. You just don't do that. ...

[Jag-T1000]

Some people don't play online. They just want to fight a couple rounds, beat bison, little ending story, and that's it. It's like a sense of accomplishing something. That's why I like arcade mode.

[Kiwi66]

Would be interesting to see what the numbers broken down are for ps4/pc as is it 70/30 , 60/40 , 80/20 etc but either way it didn't do aswell as some hoped it would

[Lionalliance]

This what happens when ya rush an incomplete game. Should had content since day one!

[MetroidFREAK21]

Lol

[marioJP87]

The game is crap. Why would/should it sell more?

[NotEvenMyFinalForm]

It lacks content but it isn't crap. Gameplay wise it's one of the best fighting games ever made.

[marioJP87]

Opinion vs opinion. No need to discuss any further.

[lunatic0001]

I bought the limited edition for like 35 bucks from my friend and the game is okay...the story kind of sucked....where is an arcade mode???...at least the ryu figure is cool

[josephayal]

Online only games make me sick

[badboyz09]

Fact: Me and and several other on PSN purchased this Digital.

[Vasto]

Good, lesson learned the hard way.

[TheVigilanteCode]

That's abysmal for a franchise as legendary as Street Fighter and even PlayStation as a platform. SONY & Capcom are equally to blame for this, SONY more for rushing this game to a FEB 2016 launch.

PC sales don't even matter here as it's embarrassing to even compare console fighting game sales numbers to PC. It's 1:10 in favor of consoles as it's the home of all fighting games platforms during and post the arcade era. But we have to admit, 175K copies on PC is a PHENOMENAL achievement for PC's standards in fighting game sales.

http://steamspy.com/app/310...

PC's online population relies mostly at PS4's mercy with crossplay enabled and the population of 1.25 million players on PS4, to keep the game's online portion alive for a while, else it would have disappeared off the steam charts within a week or two from it's release, again, normal for PC fighting game releases. PS4 should help the PC players stay alive and extend it's lifetime. It's great for the community overall.

As for PS4, had it been a full game, it would have been way past 4/5 million at this point, just like all the past SF games. Releasing this on the Xbox One (not happening at all btw because of the full exclusivity deal), would result in just another 4X PC sales which is normal for fighting games considering Xbone's lower install base (it would have 10X, like the PS4 if the Xbone was at 40+ million consoles too but as it stands...), i.e. around another 800K units.

[Veneno]

Good part about this is while even though Capcom never learns, Sony does. So next time around they won't F up this badly.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Capcom partnering with Sony was bad move in the first place.

[kaiserxblue]

What did you expect? Capcom basically released a beta for $50 which had to be aupdated, all that for what the EVo tournament?
The lesson to be learned for you Capcom it's that whne a game needs time it needs time, you can't rush it and expected to be good sales for a half-ass game, you could've just skipped this tournament this year and take your time to bring the rostar the vs mode and sory mode as you should've.
"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." Shigeru Miyamoto

[Veneno]

We still have yet to see if Evo will give SF5 a much needed boost. Let's wait and see if the gamble paid off.

[Kallisti]

I wonder what Shigeru Miyamoto thought of Duke Nukem: Forever

[Imalwaysright]

Good. Incomplete games are not acceptable.

[81BX]

Hahahaha! Ship a complete game!

[Hardiman]

Yeah the platforms that the game is on aren't the problem. It's the lack of talent and innovation being implemented.If it was a quality title then it would have sold like hotcakes. Truth be told I would love to see a new Marvel vs Capcom but with a talented development team involved.

[bangoskank]

I would've bought this game if it shipped as a complete product. I'm sure many others felt the same way. This needs to be brought to Capcom's attention.

[hiawa23]

Really interesting given how the Sony fans jumped on this game and every game that has come out this gen. Their answer is just put the games on the PS4 and they will sell well. Yeah, right, this is another reason why I put no stock in exclusives. I own all the play consoles and play the games on whatever platforms they are on. Devs need to get their games on as many platforms as possible is what I think they should do to give them the best option to move as much software as possible, and end this fanboy nonsense that we see. Just my two cents.

[Christopher]

Exclusivity had extremely little bearing on this game's sales. The issue was the barebones game being offered at $60 and promises of future content that you had to grind to unlock.

I think even most PS4 fans were saying that they would just wait for an "Ultimate" edition or the like rather than get it now.

[ShaunCameron]

They already did this in the early 1980's. Put out games on many platforms as possible. And look how that turned out.

[Deathdeliverer]

It's crazy that they omit the fact that Capcom announced that more copies of SFV sold digital than physical. Probably because they said one version will be released. Oh well. Most balanced fighting game I've played in a long time and a shitload of fun.

[thisgamer503]

I hate to say it, but I hope this keeps happening to both MS and Sony when they try to make multiplatform games exclusive. It's bullshit that one generation we have these games on both platforms, and then next-gen, BOOM! sorry you chose the wrong console, do not pass go.

[hiawa23]

I agree. Devs should put their games on as many platforms as possible.

[ShaunCameron]

Street Fighter wasn't always multiplatform. SF1 was a TG exclusive and the OG SF2 was a SNES console exclusive. And neither was Tomb Raider. Two of the first 3 games were PS1 exclusives.

[Auron]

The censorship and laziness put me off into buying this game. Sorry Capcom better luck next time.

[3-4-5]

* Street Fighter was built on the average casual gamer and it's only gotten more geared toward the super hard core tournament player.

* Want to know why fighting games aren't as popular as they were in the 90's ? Devs keep making them for about 5 thousand players and ignoring the rest of their potential customers.

* Nobody wants to have to spend months mastering combos just to stand a chance online.

Most people's experience with Street Fighter is with Street Fighter 2 and that game appealed to everyone.

[itsmebryan]

That exclusive didn't work to well for the both of them. If they would have done this 20years ago maybe it would be worth whatever Sony paid for it.

[HaikusfromBuddha]

So where is the source? Looked at that article and no link was given. Just a link to a SFV review.

[ninsigma]

Wow that's not great at all. Shane, because it's actually a decent game that's fun to play. Guess that's what you get when you release without features that gamers want!

[FallenAngel1984]

That's what happens when you rush out a product that is missing several essential features. And since there won't be any future rereleases for SFV to boost sales, Capcom should be very worried.

[Tzuno]

Their own fault, releasing a incomplete game and then milking people with dlc's(Capcom plan), people have had enough of that, glad that gamers are not taking the bait so easy on this one, vote with your wallet.

[Youngindy21]

Perhaps they should put Street Fighter on Xbox One next time.

[LordMaim]

@Youngindy21: So it can sell even worse? Unlike ROTR, SFV was shipped incomplete and with some glaring flaws. Releasing it on Xbox One wouldn't have added a drop in the bucked compared to the PS4/PC sales, which were bad for a reason. Exclusivity wasn't the problem here, it was the quality of the game.

[j15reed]

Exclusivity was one of the issues, because if I recall last gen wasn't the 360 the street fighter console of choice?

[SaveFerris]

Hopefully the lesson will be learned. Don't screw over your fanbase by releasing a censored incomplete game, make sure the net code works, and also have measures in place to punish quitters.

[rocketpanda]

Maybe don't release a half arsed game and then make hindsight statements stating the obvious! They wanted to cash in quick, typical Capcom.

[XBgamer]

No wonder why Capcom are considering to release SF5 on Xbox one.

[LordMaim]

No, they aren't. This will never happen. It has been stated that SFV is a lifetime console exclusive to PS4. Not that it matters, since the game is not great.

[Prodigy1971]

SF5 is a pro game. Nothing for casuals and nothing for the couch. My opinion.

[Kallisti]

Guess this is bad news for anyone hoping for a Darkstalkers revival

[SugarSoSweet]

Oh I wonder why this is..... oh let's see

Only 16 characters on release
Stupid Gimmicks like Fight Money where you have to grind for hours for extra characters and stages that should of been in the fucking game to begin with.
No Akuma (you know how popular he is ur only shooting urselfs in the foot by NOT having him there)
No Arcade Mode
No Bonus Stage
Overpriced DLC and Drip Fed content
Awful Tutorial Mode
8 Frames of delay built in while the previous game only had 5

This game is significantly worse then SF4 and offers much less despite running on significantly more powerful hardware, think about that for a moment...

Well done Crapcom you turned a great series like SF into yet again another laggy boring dlc money grabbing cluster - fuck. I mean you did the same with all your other franchises so why not SF right?

[SynestheticRoar]

This is what happans when you put out a half ass product.

[lnfiniteLoop]

sorry but for £44 regular home gamers got screwed by Capcom... release a game with less content than a previous version that retailed for only £25 on day one of release what do you really expect... still no sign of the promised single/offline player content...

I for one will not be so quick off the mark to purchase a Capcom tiltle at £44 until I know whats included on day of release... there are so many better beat em ups that have been released and are on their way, Capcom have lost the plot...

[Majin-vegeta]

I bought the CE for $100 yet dont feel ripped off.cuz i know what.iwas getting myself into.

[lnfiniteLoop]

so you knew most of the game would be missing content before release... you obviously must be one of those special people everyone talks about...

[Haki1112]

Capcom can rot for all I care they canceled my megaman legends 3 ever since then I've been on a boycott. Fuck em.

[Jag-T1000]

Still waiting for Arcade mode.

[AnubisG]

I'm just waiting for a complete edition....err I mean super ultra arcade x10 street fighter ultimate über edition so I will get the complete SF5 game.

[zaherdab]

Oh well, maybe super street fighter V or Ultra street fighter 5 or Super Ultra Mega street fighter 5 will do better once they add a few characters an arcade mode and a proper story mode

[wheresmymonkey]

It's no surprise really. The game wasn't finished. then they announce it's going to get a boat load of DLC characters. Factor in that SFIV ended up with four different versions in the end. It really wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people aren't simply waiting for the inevitable SUPER or ULTRA versions of the game.

Capcom screwed up big time. Had nothing to do with exclusiveness.

[thelaughingwiseman]

This is what happens when you have little fucking content to start off. Next time don't expect because it is exclusive people will buy a fucking husk of a game. This is what the bad part of the spectrum looks like when it comes to exclusives.

[Enigma_2099]

It's almost like selling customers incomplete products for full price doesn't work so good...

[DJ]

Well we've learned their business model. Release half the game as Street Fighter 5, and then release the real game as Super Street Fighter 5.

[NotEvenMyFinalForm]

There will be no super, arcade or ultra versions thanks to the whiners. So instead of buying a new version with everything included now you buy a barebones game and then you get the rest in the form of overpriced DLC.

[Majister-Ludi]

Makes sense considering its a steaming pile of shit that for some strange reason they only released on one console.

[LastCenturyRob]

They should have released it for all the consoles....Oh well.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Capcom your fault. For rushing it and making it exclusive to PS4 as far as console goes.

[daynnight365]

Imo the game is great. What happened was they had a drive club launch

[marcanthonynoz]

but making it exclusive for next gen consoles/no XBOX ONE was a good idea right? I have it for PC. They should put it in ALL gamers hands.more money to be made.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I heard the ESPN 2 broadcast of 'Street Fighter' competition was pretty good.

[Slowbro]

You mean a unfinished over priced game didn't sell well. That's a real shocker
