that is freakin sexy how CFE sales is like the same number as people on srk lol.
Haha. I’m one of those idiots who had it on day one. I can count the number of times I’ve put it in my PS2 on 1 hand since the day it came out. Seriously.
Also, I refuse to buy DarkStalkers, or Alpha 3 Double Upper new for PSP. I may get them, but used, because as a 11 year fan, and tourney worthy player of Capcom(and a few others) I don’t think Capcom DESERVES my fucking moneym or to have my sale as a statistic. Alpha 3 on the PSP? Whats new? Ingrid from CFE! Big fuckin deal. The others were (Yun/Eagle/Maki)in the GBA version of Alpha 3. Them releasing that is gonna be a smack in the face.
So, I guess, we’re waiting on Capcom to release:
SFA 1+2+3 on PS2/XBX/GC
DSC on PS2
CPS2 VERSUS games on PS2 and PSP
SFAC on PSP
SF3:Double impact on PSP.
Capcom :lame:
ur not the only one man, i’m sure alot of people on srk bought it first day hoping it’d be the next god send but oh well.
As EB Games employee in the middle of an area INFESTED with X-Box fanboys I only have one thing to say to this:
BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!
You silly, silly goose. 
It is ridiculous that SFAC sold so few copies on the Xbox.
Even with all the droppers, laggers, etc. … SFAC on the Xbox is still a million times better since it has the addition of online play.
Fighting fans should be eternally grateful to the Xbox and their support of the 2d scene, I know I will be. Even though my gut tells me I should wait until the bugs are out of the 360 before buying one, I think I might just have to get one around Christmas on general principle.

That’s depressing.
Thanks for the data…but that’s depressing.
Wow. Guilty Gear outdoing KOF on X-Box. How did that happen? KOF has been around since 94…
I’m not even surprised. This game was supposed to be out august '04.
Wow. I can’t believe Castlevania not being on that list (maybe it’s too early to tell, but hell, this is CASTLEVANIA we’re talking about). Somehow, Madden still sells like crazy, even on handhelds. Meh.
Those sales clearly prove that 2D ain’t going nowhere except down. Sorry, folks, good luck seeing a popular 2D game on a console. Oh, and remember this: CASUAL GAMERS DON’T PLAY 2D FIGHTERS ON XBOX LIVE!!! Got it into your brains, now, I hope.
castlevania came out in october. if you read, the charts are for september
Oh, crap, I forgot punches self. When Omni gets the October sales (if he gets them, and when the month ends), we’ll see how well Soul Calibur 3 sold as of late and how well Castlevania did. I just can’t stop laughing at those sales for somoe reason. And then people complain why they won’t see a SF4.
I think in some respects the standard is different, when people buy castlevania (or 3d fighters mostly) they are just buying it to play at home, not nessecarily to be a part of the community. Honestly if we had 2000 people or so at majors we would be doing pretty well, and that doesn’t require 15 million copies to be sold.
For instance Mario baseball was a #1 seller, but i went to an EB games tournament and there were 2 entries, me and the EB guy. Thats not to say that mario baseball is not competitive, just that there is more to the story than the sales #s.
Sales are part of the equation, but a lot of other things are too, we’ve been doing well at the other things, so our brand has so far been surviving it’s poor sales.
i got a question about sfac in general!
how can i get gill, i beat the damn arcade with everyone but still no gill.
rpgs and other games go to ps2. you want online play then stick with xbox. anyway i don’t have xbox and i brought my AC copy for the ps2.
Make sure you save your progress as you go.
On my PS2 there are quite a few games that will not work.
For me: Street Fighter Alpha 2:all 3 versions(reg,import,and gold). Also Jojo’s Bizarre adventure,Resident Evil 2 and 3,Gauntlet Legends,Rival schools disc 1,Bloody Roar 2 and Dino Crisis 1 and 2. There might be MORE as well, there are some PSOne titles like Silent hill that i have not touched since getting my PS2 in '04…
One has to wonder if the reason for MI’s success was purely because it’s 3D, or because it actually had a fucking US ad campaign.
Given the amount of anime fanboys/girls in the west, I think GG could actually do good numbers if they bought some TV time.
Thats a whole different story. Back then 2D was still mega-popular and widespread. These days 2D titles,such as fighters are looked upon as being old shit. Most gamers these days want “uber-3D” graphics,and will be put off playing a fighter if its graphics are 2D.
Also i HATE the way many gamers out there will label nearly anything thats 2D as being “16-bit” regardless of how detailed and amazing the animation is. As if they honestly think the SNES and Genesis could really handle such graphics…Pffttt…
Random Gamer: “DUH! Yeah MVC2,Guilty gear, and viewtiful joe are pretty decent dispite having dated 16-bit graphics,etc”
Egad, that’s quite bad.
So I guess Metal Slug is still going to be Playmore’s big money maker…
king of fighters the worst of the worst,so fucking depressing.
