False. They said the only disc you need is the disc that comes out on day one. They never ruled out doing compilations.

From a cynical point of view, yes it makes sense. But generally, if a company invests the effort into making a full fledged sequel on a next gen console, you would hope the game would do better than just copying and pasting SFxT characters into SF4.
Naruto PS4 is 80.6K above SFV I guess.

SFV deserves most of the flack, it's not catering to people that love a bunch of content.
However I think it will be supported until it's beyond awesome, and will continually be a game in the spotlight. Life time sales will get to Driveclub levels I think. It's just year one. Capcom will catch up to MKX, not in sales but in content, and should release a free to play version next year once the game is feature rich.

That's the thing. I don't see Sony doing that. I just believe the well is poisoned beyond repair. This will not be a Driveclub situation.
This is more on Capcom now and I do not see Capcom being effective here. Sony will continue to fund the pro tour, but that's not a casual friendly thing.
The best thing that could happen will be a relaunch of this game, honestly. And that's Capcom decision, not Sony's. I'm not seeing Sony playing turnaround and promotion experts here. It was hard enough with their own game.
doesnt seem that bad then. Was expecting worse with the difference in placement on the top 10.
T7 is really pretty
That's just the PS4 version, Naruto was on XB1 too.
SFV is underperforming but it's understandable, Ultimate mega ultra super EX SFIV released some months ago and have everything you need in a fighting game: content, stage, characters, almost perfect gameplay etc...
SFV has bad WOM from the start, it doesn't have enough content to hook you in and it's too difficult to get fun online when some people are just killers, I bought the game and all I can do basically was playing online but the servers were broken for days and when I had some fights, I got absolutely destroyed, I don't care much about this licence to continue playing it so I sold it and tell to everyone I know why they shouldn't buy it.
Naruto is more casual friendly and is really fun, it's a gorgeous game too, it deserves its sales.

Right but SF4 had a huge build up to it. You can't recreate that.

I'm never gonna get Blanka am I?
Yeah they sure made a pretty game. I'm impressed, seriously.

Someone get Platinum to do the combat, and have CyberConnect make it just look super pretty. I'd buy that game.
If they made the anime using the game's animation and production, I would have been totally fine with that. Especially, given the terrible dips in quality that the show suffered.
I personally don't see anything with SFV that would be deemed as poisoned beyond repair. It's content starved and that will be addressed soon.
Nor do I see Sony letting their partnership with the premiere fighting gaming brand to just rot.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Yup.
A pity too, as a few months delay would have made for much more positive buzz, with regards to the launch of SFV.
You could have stopped at no features, the character roster isn't what people are mad about, nor or the new characters.
Then why doesn't Blazeblue do that good or persona ultimax do that well?

Well, congratulations. The Content for the first year will probably be all that we see for this fantastic game.
With sf5, the gaming community really did a great job of showing how they would rather complain and enjoy controversy and outrage instead of support for a series they might have enjoyed. Hope it was worth it.
I suspect this won't be the last classic series to be rejected because of faux Internet outrage.
Af least the game is fairly complete and can be enjoyed for years by the community that will support it. Like ST and 3rd strike, this one will have a long life in the fgc.

If anything, Naruto's success would rush a new Power Stone. That would be the Capcom fighter most like it.

The link in OP is wrong, SF5 have 2 SKUs, and the sum is bigger than naruto ps4.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
SF X TK failed so hard because of multiple reasons, so they shelved other fighting game in development according to one source here. I don't blame people fear for same thing with any future fighting game that are in the work.

Not really, as both the PC and Xbox One combined sales will easily top SFV. Not to mention the PS4 version down the road.

Didn't they make it exclusive to mitigate costs/risk? If Sony paid for marketing and development, it was probably a good call by Capcom.

Wouldn't exist without sony's money though.

Thanks
SFV PS4 > Naruto PS4 because they have 2 SFV SKUs.
This thread looks now innacurate.
Also, exclusivity isn't the issue with SFV.
Lack of content and subsequent bad word-of-mouth is what's hampering its initial prospects.

Is this the collectors edition and regular edition?
If the collectors edition was enough to push sf5 over naruto they must have been close anyway.
It was a bad thread in the first place when the OP put "NUNS4 outsells SF5" rather than saying "SF5 has low sales".
Can a mod close this and have someone make a more accurate thread or at least edit it?
Yeah it will get supported, but they dropped the ball hard with the launch content. Capcom is one of my favorite developers, but sometimes they just make me want to pull my hair out with how they are handling their precious IPs and games. C'mon, they're the kings of the genre. They should be blowing everyone out of the water sales wise.
Congrats to Naruto tho, game looks awesome.
Yes please. How is such a crossover not happened yet?
Wouldn't have made a difference imo. Game just launched poorly.

A bunch of crybabies who are upset that they can't win online is why there's "bad word of mouth"
I refuse to believe that an arcade ladder is worth $60. It feels like people are just looking for a reason to be mad.
It would not have done any better. Being exclusive is not the reason for the low sales.
It's on PC too anyway.

New console and new stick is a big hurdle for a lot of players. And sf4 was huge on 360

Nah, majority of the complaints regarding the launch are valid. Arcade mode isn't the high quality feature of a fighting game but it should definitely be there. Even simple shit like versus CPU. The launch should have had at least the basic modes and features that IV does.
Well, yeah, thread needs a title change at minimum if the information is inaccurate.
