i know if it hasn’t been a week yet but does anyone know how this game did sale wise? did it beat any records for most purchases day 1 on either console?
Did this game also come out in japan as well? how is the reception over there if it did?
there’s at least 3000 ppl on PSN that d/l’ed according to the scoreboards. Pretty well for a DL imo.
I’m pretty sure that the demo being local multiplayer only (ie: no trying until you plug another controller) probably cost this game a third of the sales it could’ve had. gg
Feels more balanced to me.Also, it hasn’t been released in Japan yet.
i don’t understand this post. local multiplayer is bad? i didn’t see anything wrong with it. i also think majority bought this game to play online.
You can’t play the demo unless it’s against somebody else in local multiplayer. They could let people play against the AI (like HF) or they could do like in Age of Booty and let people experience the online for some limited time.
Well, when I played my first game on XBL, and won, I was in about 5500th place. So extrapolate that out, and at least as of Friday night there were probably at least 11-12k people on the leaderboards at that time.
Extrapolate that out a little further to the fact that I don’t know what fraction of the people who download the game for casual play actually play ranked matches at all. 10%? 50%? Probably somewhere in that range.
However, the easiest way to tell is by Xbox Live’s own indicators. As of late last night, the full game was the most popular download on the service, and the trial was #2. That’s… pretty good.
Throw in PS3? I think it’s doing all right.
ahh i just realized what you guys were saying…my bad
LOL it is gross that I schooled you at Northwest majors in real ST on a japanese arcade cabinet but you beat the shit out of me in Remix with that cammy you helped cheese up. 
uh…yeah it has.
Also Capcom Stocks Are Up This Quarter And The Success Of This Game Should Give The Stocks Another Boost Next Quarter When SF4 Comes Out…All This Will Most Likely Prompt MVC2 For XBL/PSN
i think it speaks to the success of this game when i was playing with a guy who hadn’t played the game in a decade. It has a very broad appeal and reasonable low price
they should begin working on that ASAP
alot of issues need to be worked out on that game
Doesn’t give any numbers but it did sell the most out of all of xbla last week.
Hee. Well, it’s a bit of a dirty secret, but I was literally never a regular ST player. I went to college at Oregon State back when SF2 was in the arcades, Oregon State’s arcade only went as far as Super and never got ST, and I only went down to UO to play on their maybe as many as five times, and saw it exactly once in an arcade while it was still in vogue since. There’s no way I’ve played the game more than about twenty or twenty five sittings, so I’ve always felt a bit like an ugly duck on the thing. Most people in Portland weren’t even aware I’d played SF2 much at all, other than RayBlade (who ran into me in the arcades a few times back in the day, and usually beat me… yeah, he was good even back then).
STHD? Well, yeah… I was sitting in the cube next to Sirlin all the time, and figured out for whatever reason that Cammy fit my preferences in offense and defense very well. I was always a little too cautious to really play Bison (who was my best character in Super) as aggressive as he should be, Sirlin wouldn’t let me give him a Honda torpedo for defense, so I wound up going to Cammy. Go figure.
I still laugh at people in the Cammy thread and the tier threads ranting that she’s the worst in the game…
Yeah… with just half a week’s worth of sales, no less, since it came out on Wednesday. Not bad. :lovin:
Stilt, I’ve played Cole’s Cammy now, anyone who thinks she is the worst in the game in Remix is a damn fool…
In regular ST I would peg her as hands down worst in the game though.
I look forward to playing you again, I think Ken can handle Cammy a lot better.
Cole plays Cammy? Lets get some videos…
On mygamercard.net my current rank (based on achievements, not online rank) is:
World Rank: 1,956 (+244) of 36,324
So if that’s correct then there have been over 36000 sales on XBLA.
This is my rank on HF though:
World Rank: 2,916 (+2,636) of 490,500
STHD Remix looks like it has a lot of catching up to do to reach the sales of HF.
Speaking of sales, is STHD avaliable for PC and i missed it? If not, any hints that it might be in the future?
Im guessing its not but seeing SF4 on the PC makes me very cautiously optimistic.
