Are the wheels once again coming off the fighting game genre? Capcom today said sales of Street Fighter x Tekken were not up to scratch.
Street Fighter X Tekken has shifted 1.4 million copies since its launch back in March. This, Capcom said today, meant sales "have fallen short of our plan".
... cause gamers are catching on and are starting to refuse to buy an incomplete Capcom game on day 1, cause they know Capcom will be nickel-and-diming them!
You deserve this, Capcom! You brought this upon yourself!
1.4 million SHIPPED, not sold.
I along with several people refused to buy it because of their greed with DLC. Hopefully Tekken x Street Fighter won't turn out the same way.
Good.
So if a "small vocal minority" complains about a company's business practices while sales drop correspondingly, what are the chances they'll get the hint that said minority might not be as small as they think?
