MaddenNFL64 said:Shipped is a sale for the publisher right? Or do they only get paid after a retail sale.
not really, i don't see how anyone can say this when BlazBlue, SF4 (home versions) and KoF XII are all next year and they will all blow any 08 fighting game out of the water.Cartman86 said:Shipped or not thats extremely good these days for a fighting game. 08 the year of the fighter!

The Take Out Bandit said:Arcades are irrelevant outside of Japan. Designing fighting games and supporting / revising / tweaking via software patches is the future of the god damn fighting game industry.

Pai Pai Master said:You say that, but do you really think they're gonna continue to support the gameplay and patch it, or just use their effort to create more ass-raping DLC?
PepsimanVsJoe said:The thing about online patches is that while arcade fighters constantly require updates to keep people playing(and thus keep spending money), with a console fighter...well...the money's already spent.
If Namco does a gameplay patch for SCIV they're going to figure out a way to tie some characters/extras into it to justify charging for it.

SC1 sold a million in 1999The Take Out Bandit said:Do we have figures for the rest of the game in the series?
The Take Out Bandit said:I dunno, I'd say SF4 could be pretty good considering it was a pretty well known franchise back in the day compared to Soul Calibur; however it doesn't have Lucasfilm extras. I have to wonder how much Lucasfilm shit impacted SCIV sales.
Do we have figures for the rest of the game in the series?
Danthrax said:SC4 is on two platforms and one of them doesn't feature an extremely popular character that the other version doesn't have. ...and don't turn this into a Vader vs. Yoda debate. =P
