Capcom has high expectations for Street Fighter 6. The company’s president, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, said in an interview with Famitsu magazine that the studio’s goal is to break the magic barrier of copies of Street Fighter 5 sold so far. The fifth installment has sold 7 million copies. Almost 80% of them are physical copies. So a very ambitious plan was set. The studio expects the sixth installment to sell over 10 million copies.
It’s a very ambitious plan. Tsujimoto explained that Capcom intends to use the experience gained so far in selling digital copies of games for this purpose. It’s hard not to notice that digital cameras sell better and this is an irreversible trend. In addition, the Japanese will want to fully exploit the potential of the e-sports market. They will organize tournaments and other events related to the game.
Street Fighter 6 is a continuation of the popular series of fighting games. The game, developed by Japanese studio Capcom, is due for release on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on June 2, 2023.
