Yikes, I was expecting 15k-20k, not... that

Capcom better hope that PS4 NA throws the Aaron Rodgers game-ending hail mary

Has Marvel ever been popular in Japan?

I never have a metric of what's good or bad historically over there.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 sold roughly 80k units between PS3 and 360 during its first week in Japan. (Using Famitsu numbers)
 
Makes sense. To the average consumer, Pokken DX looks like the infinitely more appealing product.

I don‘t get any satisfaction out of this but this is entirely self-inflicted on Capcom‘s part.

I expected low but DAMN !

So Capcom about that new pocket fighter in cell shading for switch and ps4 going after the smash crowd... ?

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.
Marvel seems to be hedging their bets on Spider-Man either way. But even then, quite a few of MvCI's wounds were inflicted by Marvel Entertainment executives as there were Capcom-inflicted wounds.
 
MvC:I was the cheapest budget big name game in probably the last 5-10 years. Not sure this complete bomb is a good sign (people won't buy your no effort games) or bad (you have to have a super high budget to make a game that sells).
 
Bear in mind those sales might not reflect the series's arcade health (FOR THE PRE-MVC3 GAMES). That said... I think we should brace for NPD singing a similar tune. Capcom's 2 million forecast is not happening.

It's above UMvC3 & the Xbox release of MvC2. But yeah, it's pretty low.

The PS4 version of UMVC3 was an ultra-limited release 5 years afterward and Xbox = death. For a new release, this is the worst yet.

There is no arcade version. There hasn't been any arcade version for marvel vs Capcom since mvc2

people are probably waiting for the complete version with all the DLC. I know I am, that roster is just not exciting enough
 
Well, maybe MvC:I did need a switch version because jesus fucking christ, this game isn't looking to cross 500k let alone 2 million.

Both games are trash.
Speaks about what users really have good taste.

Infinite is a good game with a really shitty art style and roster. They can fix the roster though. The gameplay is nothing but praised as far as I can tell.

Pokken is still pokemon at the end of the day.

Posted in the other thread but I'll reiterate here:

Capcpom stays losing and they honestly deserve the L. This entire generation has been nothing but failure and mistakes for them that they still apparently aren't learning from.
