​@rxdactedx It's a loss, but something to remember is that this is releasing on old systems with massive install bases that are still buying games at a healthy rate, which I don't think has happened with mvc before I think it "blowing" past 3 mil is a bit optimistic, but I can see it breaking the 2 mil line with ease. Not only that, but the general fighting game audience has grown. I'd say MvC is primed for a healthy success with this collection

[@pian-0g445]

Another thing to consider, MVCI came out during basically the peak era of the MCU. And whether the fgc liked it or not, the inclusion of more movie characters and a story mode definitely helped it, even with it not selling as much as it should have. If MVCI has more appealing graphics, and had a better story mode, it probably would have sold even more considering it had opened up to the MCU audience. But poor ratings prevented more sales. Now, a MVC4 can return back to the inclusion of x men etc characters with how they’re starting to make a theatrical come back.

[@RockmanV]

The thing is, Marvel needs to be HANDS OFF with MVC4 and just let Capcom cook. Marvel was being a pain to work with when it came to MVC3 and especially with MVCi. So I'd rather them just not be as involved and just sit back and take credit. It'd be better to not include too many influences from the MCU too. Source the comics and cartoons, maybe even keep it within that 90s era. Like how Xmen 97 is a thing.

Somewhere around 3-5 million copies for them to contact and negotiate with insomniac Games to work out a deal with Disney and Capcom for this to work.

[@kingdomhearts31000]

I think the biggest reason why marvel infinite is the best selling mvc game (outside of the many price deals it had) is because it has a story mode. Because UMVC3 was on markets months before MVCI and it was already priced at around 20 dollars and it still sold less than MVCI, because it does not have a story mode that can attract a casual audience.

[@nestorgonzalez8021]

Valid points on mvci having a story mode plus MCU was at its peak in film industry… umvc3 was day purchase on both consoles… hopefully the fanbase shows up and the casual game market follows we have a big chance of MVC4 especially with how huge X-Men 97 success of lately got everyone craving those characters in games

Bit of a timeline correction: SFIV sold 3.6 million, but that wasn't during it's first year. For one, Super Street Fighter IV came out 14 months after SFIV, but moreover, the release of SSFIV didn't kill sales for SFIV immediately. SFIV still sold units after SSFIV released. in fact, SFIV "only" sold 2.5 million copies as of March 21st 2009. So SF6 has certainly had a much more successful first year than SFIV did. It's trailing behind _SF2:World Warrior_ and _SF2:Turbo_ for SNES, but that during the peak of SF2 mania, so no one is expecting SF6 to equal that. SF6 will be supported for a very long time and very likely surpass those SNES games in total sales, since even SFV which had a horrible launch and was much maligned for most of its lifetime managed to climb (even if on the back of heavy discounts) to 7.5 million sales. Concerning the games in the Marvel collection, these have actually _not_ been released multiple times. At least not to the extent that has been suggested. To wit: COTA: Weak Saturn port, weak PSX port (2 releases) MSH: Weak Saturn port, weak PSX port, Marvel Capcom Origins (3 releases) XSF: Excellent Saturn port (JPN only), weak PSX version (2 releases) MSF: Excellent Saturn port (JPN only), weak PSX version (2 releases) MvC1: Okay Dreamcast port, weak PSX port, Marvel Capcom Origins (3 releases) MvC2: Excellent Dreamcast port, decent PS2 port, good PS3/X360 ports (3 releases) And the latest of these releases - MSH and MvC1 in Marvel Capcom Origins - occurred in in 2012. MvC2's last port was in 2009 (though apparently there was an iOS version released in 2012, but no one cares about that). COTA was last ported in 1997 (apparently a super late PSX port that I didn't even know exist, and it wasn't even done by Capcom), XSF was last ported in 1998, and MSF in 1999. In other words, these are not games that Capcom have been releasing over and over. Half haven't been available for purchase in over 12 years, and the others haven't been available in decades (and the good versions of two of them - XSF and MSF - were Japan-only on Saturn, so the majority of players haven't _ever_ experienced the proper version of these games at home). So this collection is definitely a unique opportunity for players who loved these games to experience the majority of them properly for the first time in many years, and for at least half of the games, for the first time to experience them properly _at all_ (not counting emulation or the 2019 Arcade1Up cabinet, of course).

The first Capcom Fighting Collecton sold 800k, and their goal was to sell 500k. So it was above expectations (thats why they kept the name for this collection too).So it doesn't take much for this game to be a success.

[@aldon560]

I’m buying it for all 3 systems. Two physical and one on steam

[@ARDIZsq]

I'm 100% getting this on at LEAST 1 platform, whether it be Switch or Steam. If it's affordable enough for me, and I've got enough to spare, then I'm getting both. And I think that's an important thing to note is that there WILL be people who buy two or even all three versions of the game, whether it be just to have access to or just to support it that bit extra. I can imagine a lot of double dipping with Steam and Switch, simply because the Switch is SO good for portability, and I'm sure Steam Deck will be too. Between that and the IMMENSE amount of art and hype I've seen online, I'd say 2M is very likely for this collection.

[@patdawg143]

Preordered my copy today.

[@brond.8009]

buying it physically and digitally on everything

[@MajinTheRuiner]

I'm buy for my switch and PlayStation at $70

[@baked7423]

I think this collection being on switch will massively help it out. Wouldnt be surprised if 50% of the sales are from it

[@quiquiqui420]

Can't forget, Nintendo is very likely to make the Switch 2 backwards compatible. That would make the switch copy a must buy, even when switch 1 reaches end of life.

[@Linkatiko]

Even if the xbox versions accounted for 20%? 😅 thats the most generous number I could possibly imagine it could have, even generous for the best day on a Microsoft platform. I't never ceases to amaze me how out of touch the fgc is with the tourney scene still being a startlingly small minority of the overall collective customer base. Like, there's a reason Microsoft is in the shape it is now, and it's not Steam, Nintendo or Sony's fault. Just because its not going to be on any MS platform doesn't make it an actual issue worth calling attention to.

[@daviddamasceno6063]

I'm quite sure we can do this. Yeah, no Xbox release might hurt them a little, but many people will be willing to buy multiple copies. I myself might get it on PC and maybe Switch, just to have it portable.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Im definitely gonna get it, though MvC2 is probably at the bottom of my excitement. Ive got a bigger nostalgic connection for the other 3 VS games in the collection, and always wanted to try MSH and COTA. Punisher I also heard is a hidden gem so that should be fun too.

[@Twin2Jr]

I am already buying 5 copies, so...there's that.

[@IlokanoWarrior]

I'm going to get as many versions as I can. Not just because I love the game, but I love God and thank him for this game.

[@CalebByRamen]

I legit think it could get to 3.1

[@Ronin-kk4bt]

100%

[@justincha4973]

There's no way this fail,it's going to succeed

[@Archt1cStreams]

It sucks that they’ve accustomed themselves to “let’s have them spend money on old games so we can make them think they’re funding projects we are most likely gonna end up doing anyway”

[@Donsanity]

I’ll be supporting it by buying it in all ways possible: - PS4 Physical - Switch Physical - PS4/5 Digital - Switch Digital - Steam

[@dewaynesutton440]

3 for me. PS4 physical and digital and Switch physical.

[@kevinramirez3134]

Hey Simmons, you should be on Spawn Wave's SpawnCast LIVE to talk with them about this because they are going to talk about the Nintendo Direct and the MvC not on Xbox controversy and maybe discuss everything you just mentioned with the SpawnCast crew.

[@Tryhardblackguy]

Fuck sales numbers. Miss the days when that shit didn’t matter. I think it will sell well and MVC4 is definitely gonna happen, they have to

[@YoVideogames]

There is no such thing as days when sales for video games didn't matter.

[@cantstandya9749]

I’m buying this digitally and later on if I find a physical copy I’m copping that one too because I don’t feel safe buying licensed games digitally. I’m in Lebanon so idk if I can easily find a physical copy but here’s to hoping. Ps: buying both on Switch

[@quiquiqui420]

I'll do my part. Picking up physicals on both switch and ps4. And a lot of times with a game I play a lot, I end up grabbing it digitally as well when it's on sale for 50% off or more. So that is, potentially, 4 copies for me and I'm sure I'm far from the only one who does this.

[@tiedpanda]

If there's a physical copy I need 3 for sure

[@kevobot9342]

Can’t wait to play this currently just playing some good old umvc 3

[@graefx]

A collection of 20+ year old pixel arcade games with minimal to no accessibility features or modern sensibilities. It's gonna be uphill but the amount of hype and free advertising I've seen on Twitter is kinda staggering. I don't know if all those people doing fan art will be buying copies but it's a start. Ive got mine pre-ordered on ps4 thought preservation statement with switch does give me pause

[@thirdworldrenegade]

I plan on getting both, physical and digital. The physical release, I'll keep as a collector's item. I'll download the game digitally and play it. I'm sure tons of people have the same idea. With that said, I can see the collection selling over 3 million units.

[@kylethornton77]

What’s interesting is that the further you go back, the less clear the numbers get because we were still culturally (in the US) going to arcades for a lot of gameplay because everyone couldn’t afford consoles/games outright. Most of my logged gameplay on the collection was rentals and arcade cabs

[@Danceofmasks]

It has less to do with how much MvC collection sells, than it does about how much the MCU shows and movies don't.

[@darchangeldavid]

I’m getting this for X-Men vs Street Fighter and MVC2. It will be great to finally have a full arcade based version of those games.

[@conrspowrt6691]

already preordered my 2 physical copies, getting my pc copy the frame its available. doing my part

[@MrBda241]

I don’t wanna hype up the Switch, mainly due to how its successor is more or less coming next year, but 3rd party games do sell well on that system, I ain’t saying it’ll sell 1 million, but it will add a significant number to the total sales because people travel a lot and having the collection on Switch (and Steam Deck) will boost its sales a good healthy amount.

[@FoxSiR]

to be fair I only bought the collectors edition for the figures and it was on sale at gamestop for like $30

[@mikaela5938]

jesus i wish I could've found one like that, I wanted that X statue so bad

[@Sjono]

“If you wanna know the best selling Street Fighter game it’s SFV” Capcom’s own site still lists SFII as the series and the company’s best selling game at nearly 30 million

[@KingVVIlly]

Let’s make this happen! My brother and cousins are all in for our own copy

[@Bludgeta9001]

Considering it's got alot of greatness it'll sell well im betting
