Street Fighter IV Sells out day one in Japan likely to do the same stateside
michiyoyoshiku | 10:42 PM on 02.13.2009 15 comments


"Street Fighter IV went on sale in Japan yesterday, simultaneously for the PS3 and XBox 360. The title had a pretty good opening day, selling 86,000 copies in total. The PS3 version sold 28,000copies, while the 360 version sold . 58,000

The title will chart as the best selling fighter in Japan, barely outing Soul Calibur IV by a mere 1,000 units. Overall, Soul Calibur IV still retains the best opening day record on the current gen systems, selling 92,000 copies. Virtua Fighter 5 sold about 42,000 copies.

Street Fighter IV marks the first major series update in over 10 years, and finally crosses the gap into 3D, a first for the core series. The title has been largely praised for it's return to the franchise's more casual roots. Street Fighter IV is due to go on sale in the US next week, on February 17, for the PS3 and XBox 360".

Word on the street is that the Limited edition is sold out in the US and if you didn't preorder you're not going to get it.

Fighting games ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure there have been a few 3d street fighters before IV, in fact I think street fighter EX Plus was the first and was on the psx and arcade.

The price of the DLC costume packs here in Britain is about £11 total. Until the initial retail price of the game goes down by that much I'm actually holding off buying.
Not sure if I can resist though.

Don't forget to credit your sources.

You didn't stick around for Friday Night Fights very long. I was hoping to see what you got. Maybe next time, eh?

Wow, I'm surprised the 360 version sold so much more.

@Jonathon,
You just can't help it, can you? Everything in your mind is just competing with the Wii. Have you thought about seeking professional help? :)
