History is useful, but none of those figures apply to the current market.
Now usually I don't disagree with Capcom official, but 1.7 million seems awfully low for a COMBINED sales expectation across three platforms. We're predicting 1.2 million currently for the very washed up Tekken 6, on a single platform.
While this game too is similar to old street fighters, I wonder if the reason sales for older Street Fighter titles are because they are very much 2D in appearance. Sounds odd I know, but people really got into Tekken, VF and Soul Calibur. Maybe 3D is just what this series needs.
