>In an update to Capcom’s 2016 financial report on Thursday night, it has been revealed that less than 100,000 copies of Street Fighter V have been shifted between May and September 30th. During the release of the initial financial report in May of this year, Capcom revealed that it had shipped 1.4 million units of their latest fighter, which was way under its initial target of 2 million units to be sold by March 2016. While the September update saw other figures change, the Street Fighter V sales figures has remained at 1.4 million.
>It seems that even with the release of the cinematic Story Mode, the Evo finals of Street Fighter V being televised on ESPN 2 and the continued success of the Capcom Pro Tour, the company has failed to properly deal with the initial negative press of Street Fighter V’s barebones February launch and its confused DLC plan. While Capcom did promise that they would not release a “Super Street Fighter V”, it may be their only way to increase sales figures outside of the core FGC audience and account for its rocky launch, which was styled after other esports titles like League of Legends but was not priced accordingly to match its main console market.
so now that Street Fighter is on life support, I guess that's the end of Capcom fighting games for awhile. WELCOME TO THE DARK AGES ONCE AGAIN, just because they had to rush this shit out the door and charge overpriced DLC.
Capcom will never learn from their past mistakes, fuck this chink company.

That's what they get for trying to pander to waifufags instead of fightingfags
Jordan Lopez
And the garbage everything else didn't have anything to do with it?
Parker Fisher
Yeah, that's what I mean user.
They though they could make up for the lack of everything by trying to persuade waifufags to buy it.
But they didn't realize waifufags don't play fighting games cause that takes effort, hence why all the waifu pandering games have basic and simple gameplay. Capcom should have just pumped out merchandise for waifufags instead.
William Hall
Honestly, fighting and sports games should not be exclusives. Street Fighter V did so many things wrong.
Robert Morris
I also forgot to mention that Waifufags also have DoA to pander to them for the "fighting genre"
Carter Stewart
What the fuck do waifufags have to do with any of SFV's problems
How about the unfinished fucking game and the overpriced DLC user, characters weren't an issue.

>That's what they get for trying to pander to waifufags instead of fightingfags Nah it's what they get for exclusively pandering to tourneyfags
Easton Murphy
>using DLC money to make larger pots for tournaments
No, the tournament scene is what killed this game. Not everyone is Daigo or Justin Wong you faggot
