This feels so wrong given how great and complete of a package MvC:I turned out to be.

🤔

 

[Primethius]

Doesn't seem possible. MvCI on PS4 and XB1 below a Switch port. Jesus.

MvC:I on XB1 isn't even in top 40.

It didn't even chart. Probably only a few hundred copies sold.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This feels so wrong given how great and complete of a package MvC:I turned out to be. It's all the progress we've wanted from Capcom as a company, marred by a few bad faces (that got fixed, but who knows that when you have a shit PR department?) and recycled assets.

Have a shit PR department, brehs. Fail to communicate what's in your title until you learn about extra modes and features in leaked copies brehs

This is embarrassing. I have no idea who the fuck is buying USFII, not then, not now.

Agreed on all counts.

Game is the dream.

 

[hamchan]

That's just astonishing.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Marketing seemed bad. I barely heard of Infinite.

I don't get how Capcom allowed it to be shown with the characters looking the way they did from the very start.
Especially for a game like MvC where characters are the entire focus.

 

[tkscz]

Maybe it did better digitally? Do they track digital sales?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Remember the "which one will sell more: MvC:I or Injustice 2" thread? Some fun posts in that thread.

Anyway, I'm sure Infinite is not devoid of qualities but for me, no X-Men no buy.
Which is a shame, since I still play Tatsunoko vs Capcom regularly and even as a casual, it's a really fun game.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Imagine if MvC3 for PS4/X1/PC outsells Infinite.

IMAGINE.

 

[sinonobu]

Capcom keeps delivering!

 

[Primethius]

Maybe it did better digitally? Do they track digital sales?

They do but it's not in this chart. And there's no digital percentage that'll save this.

Even if MvC:I had a 90% digital ratio, it's still a bomb.

 

[entremet]

Can we also blame SFV?

I could imagine those burned by that game didn't pick up Infinite.

TBH I was interested in the game when it was first announced but a combination of disliking the demo that came out, a release month with too many games that I want in it, and Dragonball FighterZ taking all my fighting game hype, I see no need to jump in at this point.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Safe to say this probably isn't going to make the 2 million sales goal Capcom set for it by next March.

Maybe it did better digitally? Do they track digital sales?

I mean, it's done well below 30k on steam after almost a week:

The game just isn't selling.

 

[RS4-]

Would SFxT sell more

 

[Human Trashcan]

Agreed on all counts.

Game is the dream.

If you don't have eyes, sure

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Nintendo vs. Capcom let's go!

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Nintendo vs. Capcom let's go!

I bet Capcom would still find a way to release that on everything, but a Nintendo system

 

[hotcyder]

Marketing seemed bad. I barely heard of Infinite.

I was going to say. For a game that's banking on the popularity of the MCU - it didn't seem to tap into any of it's promotional power one bit.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Casuals turned up in some respect for SFV. It underperformed but not catistrophically. This is looking like a genuine bomb.

Yeah still ended up selling 1.4 million in the first month.i think this might be lucky to hit 100k.

Calling 1.4 mil worldwide and stagnating so harshly over the next year that you barely manage another 200k units and still being under your initial one month estimate "underperforming" is an "understatement".

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

The production values are so embarrassingly bad on the new marvel versus Capcom game, I’m sorry but it does not deserve the sales

 

[oti]

Dragonball is going to outsell Marvel and Street Fighter isn't it. 😂

 

[Maxrunner]

I bet Capcom would still find a way to release that on everything, but a Nintendo system

Ahah....crapcom...

 

[Everlya_Apocryha]

Even more embarassing it losing during the peak of Marvel craze.

Here's hoping marvel will award ars system works their character license next....for Tesla's sakes, Capcom fighting team is a lost cause.

 

[LukasTaves]

Marvel deserved better.

Did they? Seems to me they are a huge part of the backlash because of the rooster restrictions.

 

[ReddishGUI]

The game is a joy to play and the story mode was quite enjoyable imo.

 

[Ex-Psych]

For Capcom sake I hope MHW is a massive success

 

[Principate]

Calling 1.4 mil worldwide and stagnating so harshly over the next year that you barely manage another 200k units and still being under your initial one month estimate "underperforming" is an "understatement".

But it still Shipped 1.4 million with Sony footing some of the bill. It's also on less platforms. It wasn't a fanciancial failure, just not exactly a success either.

 

[E_Darkness]

That's kinda sad considering one was an overcharged rerelease and the other was SF2 again.

 

[Maxrunner]

Hows that switch support working you Capcom?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Dragonball is going to outsell Marvel and Street Fighter isn't it. 😂

Marvel, easily. DBZF looks great and the franchise is at a high point in public interest, even by Dragonball standards, thanks to the super anime. It'll probably destroy street fighter too.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

The marketing for this game was weak so I'm not surprised.

 

[GuileBootCamp]

That's just astonishing.

Uncanny, really.

 

[Ekid]

Doesn't Marvel's games mainly sell in the US anyway?

 

[Synth]

Remember the "which one will sell more: MvC:I or Injustice 2" thread? Some fun posts in that thread.

Yup I remember.

Good times.

 

[jett]

This was expected with the ridiculously overblown and over the top backlash on the interwebs. It's too bad, this game actually looks great where it matters. Last night's top 8 at NCR was spectacular.

And shit the graphics really aren't that bad at all. Dang brainless memers.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

The production values are so embarrassingly bad on the new marvel versus Capcom game, I’m sorry but it does not deserve the sales

It's harsh but I'm gonna have to agree with this.

Also, I personally couldn't get past the horrible art. In fact the last MvC game that appealed to me was MvC1. The last two games in particular have has such nasty art direction that they were an instant turn-off for me.

Fighting games with bad art = no buy for me.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Nintendo vs. Capcom let's go!

Sega vs Capcom would work way better.

 

[Spikematic]

Bad marketing + horrendous looking (IMO at least) character models are probably to blame. The latter, along with a combination of a very lackluster roster and a downscale to 2v2 was a deal breaker for me, at full price anyway. Which is sad really, Marvel definitely deserved better.

 

[VLQ]

Modern Marvel fans just don't remember MvsC

 

[SinCityAssassin]

That's kinda sad considering one was an overcharged rerelease and the other was SF2 again.

 

[hiryu64]

Does this mean that Switch passed the test?!?!

Spoiler

[Everlya_Apocryha]

Did they? Seems to me they are a huge part of the backlash because of the rooster restrictions.

I mean...you can blame marvel for the lack of X-Men but capcom's solely to blame for the Capcom roster....Spencer? Haggar? Really?

 

[Eidan]

I'd love for Marvel to have Arc take over so we can ditch this "vs Capcom" nonsense.

 

[frankie_baby]

Maybe it did better digitally? Do they track digital sales?

This is the UK, digital is a rip off here, very much doubt it will have done much

Couldn't have said any better. Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is my favorite fighting game this year and might the most fun I've ever had playing a fighting game ever. It's easily better than the previous MvC games. Hopefully, Marvel vs. Capcom buzz will catch on and casuals will get on with it. It's truly a great game and it deserves a big audience, especially among fighting game enthusiasts.

 

[SmokedMeat]

More like their fighting games are failing the test.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

But it still Shipped 1.4 million with Sony footing some of the bill. It's also on less platforms. It wasn't a fanciancial failure, just not exactly a success either.

1.4 mil for a new entry in a major 20+ year old series on the PS4 is definitely a failure. Hell, ARMS is at over a million too and it's a new IP on a system that's barely half a year old. Just because the bill was footed doesn't mean it wasn't a success. Maybe that mitigated the loss Capcom took, but it's sales have been underwhelming for sure

 

[JayEH]

Don't disrespect the mayor of earth.

I agree about spencer.

 

[Ushay]

Wow. Holy shit, what a turn.

MvCI underperforming was expected.. But I doubt anyone would have thought that it'll sell less than USF2 Switch on both systems.

I mean UK is the market where PS4/XBO are the strongest compared to whatever Nintendo offers.

But it also shows that the Xbox audience is irrelevant for these type of games nowadays. Thought people were overreacting with SFV.. But even there the PC sales were kinda lackluster. The people who play these games likely own a PS4 and will purchase that version.
