Well yeah SF6 is a great game but that doesn’t change the fact that fighting games are still pretty niche and the other one is a highly anticipated game from a giant IP in the industry and a direct sequel to a critically acclaimed game.
Was anyone under the delusion that SF6 would outpace totk or was there a suit out there who said it was supposed to be a competitor to TOTK?

This should not be a surprise to literally anyone, and that’s not taking anything away from how good SF6 is.
It’s a fucking Zelda game.

Well that’s a glass half empty way to look at it

Fighting games are very niche now. I remember back in the day they had the best graphics.

I love street fighter 6 this is my fighting game and I’m having so much fun, but no shit it can’t beat totk, they’re not even similar games

SF 6 is really damn good but c’mon. This is apples to oranges territory

SF6 on Switch when? It would do at least double the numbers of the PS5 version in Japan.

I feel like a lot of people here aren’t aware that Zelda has historically sold awfully in Japan compared to the rest of the world and BotW/ToTK are outliers.

Rest in peace, Fighting games are dead thanks to Zelda 🙁

Switch has sold over 120 million consoles, compared to about 35 million PS5 and 20 million XBox Series X/S.
Does it surprise anyone that a game sold exclusively on the former will sell more copies than one sold exclusively on the latter?

If it beats FFXVI the week that comes out THEN it would be a story worth writing about

In other news, Tekken fails to unseat Mario Kart.

Seriously? What kind of bull crap subreddit post is this? Did you really expect Street fighter 6 to outsell tears of the kingdom? They are two different game genres tears of the Kingdom is an action RPG Street fighter 6 is a fighting game and pretty much action RPG is a popular game genre More than fighting games So It was to be expected but I love both games Even though I’m not a Zelda fan but after I played breath of the wild It has revitalized My interest getting back into Zelda games because they finally made a true action RPG The last Zelda game I played that had a open world action RPG was Twilight princess on the Wii hopefully Nintendo continue the open world action RPG Zelda games 😍.

No shit sherlock, this ain’t even news. Wow a game in a niche genre that isn’t even on the nintendo switch fails to unseat one of the most beloved franchises of all time that also appeals to most types of gamers.

I’m not overly surprised, fighting games are comparatively quite niche to adventure games

These are the physical sales, not many people would buy SF6 on physical as you have a lot of DLC. Also, PC is completely digital.

Nothing is unseating Zelda.

Not for me it don’t. I stopped playing totk soon as sf6 came out and not been back since and with ff16 and diablo 4 I won’t go back to totk.

You could replace SF with literally any other title and it will still sound stupid.

Was NOT impressed by the demo on ps5. Are the graphics a downgrade?
