Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix sells 250k units

by Alan Tsang on Dec 18th 2008 4:00PM

Why is Ryu showing us his pearly whites and giving us a thumbs up? That's because Capcom has just announced they have sold an impressive 250,000 copies of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix across the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A breakdown of the sales numbers between the two consoles was not released. The game was released on November 25th, so it hasn't even been a month since its debut. According to Capcom, it also broke both day one and week one sales records, and it will "most likely" go on to break the 30-days sales record as well. It might even become the highest grossing digital title ever.

What did you expect? Capcom took an old-school favorite, improved upon it, and unleashed it onto all the SF fanboys. Street Fighter forever!

awsome first!!!!

Epic Fail

Why isnt this out in Europe yet??? Im sure these figures would be even higher if SCEE weren't so completely useless

bring on SF 4!!!

I 2nd that SHIT!

Bring on the Street Fighter 4 Fight Stick! The d-pads are fucking useless!

Colour me unimpressed. 250,000 on to XBLA and PSN combined is some sort of record? Terrible news for digital distribution. Also it does not make sense. If Warhawk sold less then this on PSN, how come no one use the headsets that was bundled with this Blu-ray version? How about GT5:P totaling 2,000,000+. Less than 10% bought it from the PSN? Unbelivable.

Or is this a record for CapCom only games?

"It might even become the highest grossing digital title ever."

Unimpressed?

I doubt sales of Warhawk and GT5:P were that high on psn considering the price was about $30 - $40. I don't mind spending up to $20 for a downloadable game but when the price is closer to $30 or higher I prefer, and probably most people, a hard copy. At the same time though with digital distribution getting bigger I am hopeing this record will not stand for long.

250,000 copies @ $15 = 3.75 million dollars.

~4 million is a pretty big deal. valkyria chronicles hasn't even come close, and that's a stupidly terrific game

hadoken! SF owns all fighting games.

Still not out in the UK, WTF Sony!!!

Fucking sort it!!!

Still Not out in the UK, WTF Sony!!!!

Fu@king Sort it!!!

Maaaan,

I got bored waiting for it to appear on the store in good ole'England & bought it from the US Store........ It really is worth signing up to all stores US/Euro/Asian.

Simple equation if you have the means to set up 3 accounts.

3x Store Regions = (+)Play time (-)Disappointment.

When is the trophy patch coming? I want to kick ass for the lord with a purpose.

Still not out for Australia either. And I don't know whether we are classed as Europe or Asia by SCEE. Either way I would buy this in a heartbeat IF IT WERE AVAILABLE ON MY PSN!

I believe Australia is included in the PAL region and grouped with Europe, which is overseen by SCEE.

Thanks for clarifying, that explains a lot about my PSN actually :)

We ought to fill the sony forums with this kind of comments and maybe they'll listen.

i should know I got SSF2THD

well, you all can create the US account and buy it from PSN North America, can't you? So no big deal. However I'm waiting for the Japanese version. I prefer the correct names of the 4 bosses.

I played over 80 matches in a row with a commenter from this site the other night. Such a good game, one of the best on PSN and XBLA.

I'd rather play new games, but hey, that's just me I guess.

Gotta love the terrible photoshop job of Ken's mouth and Dee Jay's hand on that Ryu. :p

Good sales for a good game.

This is great, now that we know it's popular, maybe they'll release a patch to fix the 3435 things wrong with this game. First on the list, horribly unreliable network connections.

We all know this game wasn't done b/c of a half-assed developer and it had to come out before sf4 made it obsolete. Still, take the time, do it right, give us a patch!

I tried to buy it with my UK credit card and debit card but both did not work ? do u have to have a USA card to buy on that store I really want this game before xmas is there anthother way around it ?

"What did you expect? Capcom took an old-school favorite, improved upon it, and unleashed it onto all the SF fanboys. Street Fighter forever!"

Now repeat this step in a Capcom vs Marvel vs King of Fighters: 2 HD Remix and you'll have over 700k units gaurenteed hands down.... DO IT NOW CAPCOM!!!!

@ Korwyn...
"no big deal" ? If you have bought it via your US PSN account, then share to us how you did it.
US PSS has patched every attempt for europeans to buy this game withother cards than a authentic VISA card.

And what i have read latest is that SCEE are not releasing this due to some certification/license problem. SCEE are known to be very picky about everything being very correct, that they even deny a official worldwide release of this game in europe.

So if you want to spam a forum, you should go to SCEE's forum and just spam. They are the real problems in this matter.
