So what sells more Injustice 2 or Marvel vs Capcom: Infinity?

I'm guessing they meant the other way around (someone like Iron Galaxy licensing Capcom IP), and simply worded it poorly.

Probably Injustice.
I've always liked Marvel stuff more but I think the most successful vs game sold about as well as like the worst MK game. I doubt banning classic characters that 90s fans grew up with or that fans of the series have always been able to play and spinning it like we're stupid for missing them... I doubt that gives them the edge they need to take over DC. Probably the total opposite if anything. And the demo was abysmal and really worked hard to give you the impression the game would be terrible. Not to mention I think a lot of people weren't aware that they had some Fox-like beef with Netflix and as a result, no Luke Cage, no Jessica Jones (no women in general... another thing i'm sure doesn't help them in the DC fight), no Daredevil, no Punisher, no Elektra, no Hand members, no Iron Fist, and a bunch of pre-launch DLC already established (one just get one of the main Avengers)...
It'll be a success for me if 3 years down the road the game is still available for purchase and not ripped from shelves and banned from online markets like most Marvel vs titles are. Marvel and/or Capcom pretty showed us a case study on how not to market a game that could potentially have some mainstream appeal.

It won't. Marvel sales are so ridiculously low and Injustice sales so high that even a sales resurgence by Marvel would require months of sales to get to Injustices launch numbers.

When I made my post it was under the assumption Marvel wasnt derailing MVCi and a Capcom was finally getting their shit together. Theres no reason Injustice 2 should be selling so well and MVCi so poorly, but here we are. Injustice 2 is what happens when you give the developer total freedom to use the IP as you see fit vs the catastrophic loss of major characters and bad PR around that.

To be fair (to me), the latter half of my comment faired true😬

The funniest part about a lot of the posts are how the PC version would be the difference maker
...the PC version has sold a whopping 25k units
LOL I mean nothing personal, a fair amount of ppl hedged or gave qualifiers but I had to #buildthewall and it demanded bricks
What did he mean by this?

How are movies and video games related again? Seeing Gamora and Rocket in this will make my mom buy this since she loves Guardians of the Galaxy?
I would buy Injustice 2 but BvS was terrible so I'm not a Batman fan anymore?

Maybe the more active hardcore tournament fighting community type.
Marvel numbers are so low even if Injustice has a massive drop off (it's not, its showing great legs in the charts) it will still likely have more people playing it daily
Injustice has already had its massive drop off, if Twitch numbers are any indication.

Eh Twitch doesn't mean a ton in regards to certain games. Injustice doesn't have a big multiplayer presence. Many of the people who play NR games do so for the single player. The games that are big on Twitch are big multiplayer games.
Injustice 2 may be selling more copies at a weekly rate than Marvel in literally less than a month
I wasn't talking about a sales drop off.
You're basically saying the same thing I am. Marvel will sell less, but will be actively played longer.

rmcvi has a lots of fans that actually want to play online & local pvp
injustice has a huge army of loot hungry fans that loves to grind pve (and some pvpers). Both gaf guilds I was in took heavy losses. very few stuck around for the long haul. and hardly any hopped online I know this for sho'

Injustice 2 because it's a better game.
Pffft, the FGC doesn't mean shit when it comes to sales. Capcom bet on the wrong horse (the competitive crowd) and it is biting them on the ass. Just hold this L, please.
Close to your chest. Embrace that L. Even better, stop posting on GAF and play your game. I bet it's fun, but you're gonna have to put some elbow grease to get people to play with you a few months from now and pray that Capcom will continue support past early 2018.

Marvel Vs Capcom Infinity
Capcom Fighters have been betting on the DLC whale...horse. Whale horses are a thing. I'm guessing it's been lucrative for them, if SFV costume and stage production is any indictation.

I was talking about the hinted one from the marvel games partnership.
This is not true at all there are folks that purchased MvCI due to the twitch presence. We know this because they also posted in the MvCI they bought the game after seeing the pros play
I know before I buy a fighting game I like to see it getting played at CEO / EVO, etc as well.

my bad
but even still, most fighting games don't have a strong twich presence outside of tournaments. on the average day, none of them are getting significant numbers regardless.
As far as which will get played more overall mutliplayer-wise, then yeah, Marvel might have longer legs. Though I'm not so sure about that if Marvel ends up selling terribly. If Injustice has a massive sales edge over Marvel--which it probably will--then it will probably have more people actively playing it based on sheer numbers alone.
Oh don't get me wrong, I don't see it being a realistic possibility at all (and it never was, lol).
I just think it's generally best to wait to serve crow, until its fully cooked.

No I'm not. I even said Marvel may have a larger hardcore tournament style player base than Injustice.
But if the question is which will have a higher DAU? Injustice 2 I feel pretty sure of that
Injustice 2 would have to literally stop selling units and Marvel would have to match its launch week numbers for months consecutively to match Injustice 2's launch numbers.
Yes the gap is that large
oh come on...
Yea, fair enough. lol
The tournaments are what it's all about is why. I enjoy playing online but playing them locally is even better and brings me back to the good ole days where I played them in Arcades. * Many others feel the same way and go out of our way to attend events
DAU's doing what? Replaying storymode? haha
If the community ain't online anymore it's gone.

Buying DLC / Characters. The only thing that Publishers care about. IJ2's microtransactions have been a very very large success

Where are you getting no one plays Injustice PvP? Your ass?

I always knew Injustice would sale more. Just didn't expect a poor start from Marvel, granted I didn't keep up with the game since I only own a switch.
The only fighting game that can potentially beat MK and injustice is Smash.
Really curious how DBZ fighters will do. That one look amazing.

Revisiting this article particularly highlights how utterly out of touch Capcom are:
https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017...s-they-have-learned-street-fighter-5s-launch/
"we learned our lesson" = "let's include a story mode and everything else will solve itself".
Capcom, you can't make a game consisting of 80% recycled assets and expect it to sell well. This is not the late 90's anymore.
Man, that's great. Tag-worthy if he didn't already have a tag.
If anything, the unknown quantity in that equation was how much MVCI would sell; now that it's predictably flopped, DBFZ is pretty much a given. The hype for it is absolutely crazy.
Also gotta love this one, especially the bolded:
Fast forward to MVCI release, the deluxe version is 90 bucks.

I can't be assed with compiling an entire wall... but there's one that I never forgot about on our way to today. Mr "Capcom saved the genre" himself.
Hilarious crow indeed.

They got lucky on the switch so don't think they learned that lesson.

Japan numbers for MvCI are in and it's not promising.
