Wait, how much higher are those MKX numbers then what you listed? Or is it in that ballpark?
That doesn't seem too bad now.
Edit: Assuming the numbers are in the general ballpark and not significantly higher or lower.

It's still bad. Less than the Xbox version of MK X.
Ahh ok I got my numbers wrong.
Seeing as PS4 is up on PS3 install base in the same time yeah its shit lol.
Edit: Would a day 1 functioning online and inclusion of old modes have boosted sales by much?
I feel like this game was destined to just sell less overall to SF IV.
PS4 version of MKX sold 63% more than SFV just on those numbers, the gap could be wider.

Why is there so much spin to see SF5 sales as good?
It bombed, accept it people.

Don't get me wrong, the numbers are bad. Perhaps I should've done my research but I expected a significantly higher opening for MKX.
Mortal Kombat in Europe is not huge like in USA... expect a waaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger gap in February NPD.

Oh man, looks like Street Fighter V underperformed and then some. Eek!
Capcom won't be going the Early Access route anymore. Given the lack of content available out of the gate and the amount of negative buzz as a result, it's just not worth it. They should've just released the fucking game in Summer, when it had a story mode, a proper arcade mode and a few extra characters to offer.

Nah, probably would have done similar numbers. They just need to actually promote their shit.
Do we know how much Sony spent on supporting the game becoming a reality? I am surprised that a game which needed financial backup and even got it got a release that early. Also I wonder whether the date of release is only determined by Capcom or also by Sony when they helped with money to get SF5 being made.

Why are you so concerned that some people don't see it as 'a bomb'? Weird.
