"Street Fighter V got off to a shoddy start in the UK sales charts, and did similarly sucky in its home nation of Japan. However, we'd secretly been hoping that it would find its feet on the PlayStation Store, but that doesn't appear to be the case. In fact, the mechanically masterful brawler couldn't even break February's PlayStation 4 top twenty in Europe, while it squeezed into fifth place in North America. There's a small glimmer of hope, then, that the States may pick up the slack – but given how poorly it's done everywhere else, we're not exactly holding our breath."
- Only 42k PS4 copies sold in Japan
- 130k worldwide on Steam (you have to wonder how many refunds there were and the blockbuster titles are doing 500-600k out of the gate)
- Capcom is counting on 2 million in worldwide sales by the end of the fiscal calendar (Mortal Kombat X did reportedly 5 million)
