Is the game selling well?

Today I saw the CE at a reduced price, it was a quick drop

Last I checked, it was selling on par of the AE discs...take that any way you want.
On 5/26, something that defined a generation shall make its rightful return.  #Toonamisbackbitches.  Prepare yourselves.  Bang.

Info on that?

Heard there was a lot of trade-ins in certain areas. My guess is that either they're not too happen with the DLC or they're Tekken fans.

Uh, what more info do you want?  However well the SSF4:AE discs were selling, is as well as the SFxT discs are selling.  I don't have the exact numbers on me, but that's what I've been hearing.  I don't care enough about the game to do my usual hard research (that, and tracking down accurate sales numbers is a huge pain in the ass).

Let's just wait and see at NCR.  If it still looks crappy during it, then maybe it will go away.  Maybe...unfortunately I doubt it'll get dropped at EVO.

Just because it's in Evo it's going to get competition. Its real litmus test will be how long it last after the event.

True enough.  Everyone expected MK9 to straight die after EVO of last year, and while it didn't get nearly as many numbers or streams, MK community worked hard to support it and it got another year.

I was shocked when a friend of mine was telling me that there were a gangload of people out here returning SFxT back to Gamestop or wherever they got it... This area is like Capcom-central, aside from LA, so to hear about something like that does say something...

It won't get dropped after 1 Evo... You know why??? Cashcom!!! It's the same reason Japanese pro players are even playing the game... That, and the possibility of getting "free" money at tournaments...

Man, Capcom should've learned their lesson when they made MSH, then years later Super Gem Fighter... Gems don't work unless it's Power Stone... They're better off making an rpg-esque fighting game like Dark Awake, or make something like Dungeon Fighter if they want "customization" in fighting games...

^^ I dunno. The game is the redefinition of bad, the only thing that'll revitalize it for a bit is the "DLC" coming in Fall.

The reason it survived is that regardless of how bad the engine is, it's a damn fun game and it's got a lot of solid ideas. There's no reason why the MK community shouldn't support probably the best MK game ever made.

On the other hand, there's other better Capcom fighters you could be playing instead of SFxT. That's why I think once people crack the game open and find there's not much more than the initial wow factor of having "My Tekkens in your Fighting Street" and the joy of having a new game that isn't SFIV, they'll drop it like a bad habit.

Not like it matters either way honestly.  Even if people drop it, they'll go back to the same old same old, Capcom won't learn their lesson and we'll be back at square one while Capcom ruins a new IP.

Yeah, it'll probably be Darkstalkers, expect it to play nothing like the originals, be drastically slower, have newer character design that redefines bad, new comeback mechanics, have bad animations, characters will have animation to be butchered for memory restrictions, half the cast will be "DLC" at a "reasonable price that won't break the bank" (ie. 40 dollars), and more "DLC" costumes that totals up to 50 dollars.

HURRAY CAPCOM!!!!

That's debatable... UMK3 and MK2 are up there still...

Capcom should just port classic games with HD polish and put solid netcode (not GGPO plz) to them... They're better off at doing that than making new fighters... That's what people have been asking for anyway...

I said probably, not definitely. There's a difference.

And no, just porting old games is something that a company that has no money does. Like SNK. And honestly, the only games that need a port are Project Justice and CvS2. The rest can go to hell.

Almost any single company has ported from one way or another old games in this era

He meant that Capcom should stick to porting old games exclusively, which is a bad idea because they're not broke.
