Also one this trailer ( ) starts off calling Street Fighter and Tekken the #1 Selling 2D/3D Fighting Games. For it to have such name power and yet have sluggish sales while other fighting games are doing well for themselves points that fighting game oversaturation isn't that major of a reason why the game is doing bad.


But it really doesn't say that oversaturation isn't the problem at all, since... As somebody said in this topic, chances are a LOT of the same people that bought KoF/Skullgirls bought SFxT. Fans of fighting games buy fighting games, and SFxT LOOKED good. KoF/Skullgirls are niche, so their popularity isn't going to really rise and fall all that much. They're going to have the same core fanbase: The FGC, more or less. SFxT is the one that more casuals are going to buy, though, and thus much more likely to be affected by oversatuation.

Not saying I necessarily agree. But it's entirely possible.
