Whoever suggested it should have both physical and digital made the smartest decision for the future of MVC.

Marvel VS Capcom Infinite suffered from 3 things, bad roster, bad graphics and the most important thing… Dragonball fighterZ absolutely ate its lunch!!!!

At 2.5 million copies, it forces them to think about MVC4

Man if this sells well, we could see a Capcom VS SNK Collection with rollback as well

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, a Switch exclusive, sold over 1.5 million. It would be shocking if MVC Collection doesn't cross that number.

It’s already the number 1 best selling on Amazon for PS4 and Switch.

Realistically speaking, the highest we’ll be approaching is around 2.6M, if lucky, 3M, especially with not only Capcom’s track record, but how Marvel also seems to be heavily promoting X-Men content again.

Community: 4mil sales mean we will get a new game Capcom: 4 million sales! We need more collections!!!!

With it being on PlayStation, Nintendo, AND steam… you’re looking at 2 million in first year easy and possibly 3+ in its lifetime

I'm buying the collection on all platforms. It's more about sending a message. I'll be doing my part, yo!

It's also only 50 bucks too. That's a lot of value for that price.

Marvel is gonna make their money regardless cause the FGC and the fans are gonna jump and buy the physical and/or digital copies.

Don't worry, everyone, I'll carry us to that 1.5 m. I got 3 copies pre-ordered as well as getting it digitally on all platforms 😅

knowing marvel fans, I think no crossplay will INCREASE sales because people will buy more copies to play against more people

We all need to double dip, minimum

I don't care how much it sells, I'm finally getting my Marvel Super Heroes and The Punisher

If there's a collection I'd like to see, hopefully down the line, is Capcom Fighting Collection Volume 2. The 3D fighting games. I think 9 games would be added: . Star Gladiator and its sequel, Plasma Sword; . Rival Schools, including the update PS1 version that only came out in Japan, and Project Justice; . Tech Romancer; . Power Stone 1 & 2 . Final Fight Revenge

$50 bucks for games that cost over $100 each separately… that’s a steal

I got my PS4 & Switch physical copies ordered and you can be damn sure I’ll be buying them digitally too! I’m so hyped!!!

Appreciate the breakdown. Planning my gifts carefully.

Dude, MVC Collections is going to blow past 3 mill sells.

I absolutely plan on buying this game 4 times for myself, one of which will be a physical copy for a system I don't even own. I could see myself also getting copies for a friend or two

Disc rot is typically caused by manufacturing defects and/or extremely poor care/storage in extreme temperatures, it is -not- inevitable, at least not in our lifetimes. Blu-ray has especially high longevity. I see this FUD about disc rot everywhere and it's annoying.

So one thing I wanted to mention, Street Fighter 30th anniversary sold 3.1 Million copies. MvC Collection has the added benefit of coming out while the nostalgia wave for X-Men 97 is still going very strong, I can see a lot of people getting it because of that so I think 2 million copies is honestly a doable goal

Am buying the physical copy just incase they decide to take it off the online stores in future

Lord knows I'm gonna do my part and get it on Steam and a Switch cart

The thing is, Marvel needs to be HANDS OFF with MVC4 and just let Capcom cook. Marvel was being a pain to work with when it came to MVC3 and especially with MVCi. So I'd rather them just not be as involved and just sit back and take credit. It'd be better to not include too many influences from the MCU too. Source the comics and cartoons, maybe even keep it within that 90s era. Like how Xmen 97 is a thing.

Another thing to consider, MVCI came out during basically the peak era of the MCU. And whether the fgc liked it or not, the inclusion of more movie characters and a story mode definitely helped it, even with it not selling as much as it should have. If MVCI has more appealing graphics, and had a better story mode, it probably would have sold even more considering it had opened up to the MCU audience. But poor ratings prevented more sales. Now, a MVC4 can return back to the inclusion of x men etc characters with how they’re starting to make a theatrical come back.

I think the biggest reason why marvel infinite is the best selling mvc game (outside of the many price deals it had) is because it has a story mode. Because UMVC3 was on markets months before MVCI and it was already priced at around 20 dollars and it still sold less than MVCI, because it does not have a story mode that can attract a casual audience.

I really hope people show up for this series. Its too good to let die without a fight

Somewhere around 3-5 million copies for them to contact and negotiate with insomniac Games to work out a deal with Disney and Capcom for this to work.

We need a Maximillion Dood units to sell, let's begin the campaign

Thanks for the odds, Simmons. I'm getting it on the switch. Would have gotten it on series x too but, wah, waahh. Also gifting it to 3 of my friends who are on the fence about it...scrubs. 2 million isn't far away. Come on boys we can do this.

It goes without saying but everyone PLEASE secure your own physical copy so we can show them that interest for a new MVC entry is still there. And in the event their relationship goes south again we won't ever run into the issue where you can't find a copy in the wild again at an affordable price.

capcom when sells 1.49 copies: thats it go back to your graveyard

I don't know, it'll be on three highly accessible platforms and there's some real mystique around it. I've seen people on Nintendo forums who aren't FG fans saying they're intrigued by the backstory and want it just because of that.

3 is the best because of graphically and the characters but part 2 is greater because it has more characters😊

I will buy 3-4 copies but that is all that I can do. I dont see this collection making 1 million to be honest

They already got 1 from me.

People need to put their money where their mouth is, and buy this, physical and digital if needed. Or bother ps4 and switch.

I am so happy that Capcom Fighting Collection sold well enough that this is now a series. Marvel vs. Capcom is such a beloved franchise that I have 0 doubts this is going to sell very very well. My hope is that when this sells well the remainder of Capcom's library of fighting games gets ported over to modern platforms. Maybe a Capcom vs. SNK Collection, a Street Fighter EX collection, and what I'd personally love is a Capcom 3D Fighting collection with games like Power Stone, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Tech Romancer, and maybe even an actual release of Capcom Fighting All-Stars.

Buying both switch and ps4 versions… ✅

I've never been able to play these games (Nintendo Fan) and I'm probably going to buy this game twice(Switch and Steam). I'm sure there are going to be people like me with the same idea.

Me: I'm doing my part! I ordered 2 PS4 copies. One to open and one to-- "PS4 disc rot" "I'll be right back, going to update my Amazon order."

It will sale a lot. Preorders are looking great. And we didn’t get to the special editions yet.

I’ll be getting 4 copies….. 1 on PS4 to play online and with family and friends at home. 1 on Switch to play in portable mode. And a spare copy on the Switch & PS4 to keep in plastic as collectors items since these games will balloon in price in a few years.

X-men 97 may help boost some sales too.

There was a lot of sticker shock over the last fighting collection. 40 is too much, they said. Wait for a 50% sale, they said. I'm expecting a lot of that

Per MVC1 : 4p CROSS FEVER MODE from Dreamcast MVC1 …. Hope they included that !!!!! So much couch co-op/competitive 2v2 screen filling FUN !!! Also coming soon hopefully : STREET FIGHTER I I I COLLECTION !!!!! Featuring : All 3 titles (New Generation, 2nd Impact, 3rd Strike) and all revisions/versions of each. All available in normal or WIDESCREEN. Widescreen mode opens up entire new strategies, and even possible parallel WIDESCREEN tournaments, with different tier lists. And toggle between their original OST’s and Arranged OST’s (PS2 Arranged 3rd Strike OST is highly underrated) (SF3: New Generation Arranged Album is also highly underrated/under-appreciated) Ability to play stages/theme-songs from NG, 2i, or 3s, in the other entries. For example: Playing WIDESCREEN 3rd Strike, on Elena’s 2i “Night Bridge” stage with that dope “Tomboy” song. Or widescreen 3rd Strike, on Elena’s New Generation “Day Bridge” stage, with the “Tomboy [huge side]” remix from the SFIII: New Generation Arranged Album. Or WIDESCREEN 3rd Strike, on Necro’s 2i train lab stage, with that dope DNB song. Or Widescreen 3s on Dudley’s “Rain” NG stage, with the “Leave Alone [rare mix]” song from the SFIII: New Generation Arranged album. Etc…. CANNOT WAIT ! Peace & blessings to everyone at CAPCOM !!!🤙🏽

It need to sell out of pre-orders more than they work expecting to the point that it's unprecedented

I’m double dipping on this collection. I already pre ordered a switch copy but I’m also buying the digital version on ps5. I’m assuming it’s getting a ps5 digital release I haven’t looked into.

I want to buy the game to support the Vs. Capcom series, but I also REALLY DON'T want another Marvel vs. Not only has Bob Iger's usage of the Albert Wesker Method of Business Growth made me just SICK of Marvel now, but I also want Vs to be more than just "Marvel featuring Capcom" cause you know that's how the casual sees it. Plus, if you look at box office numbers, the casuals are starting to get sick of Marvel as well. I think the real future of Vs, of Capcom's answer to Smash, is to finally pull the trigger on that damn Tezuka vs. Capcom concept they keep teasing us with with art galleries, of all things.

Everyone needs to buy a copy for every platform and then gift a copy on every platform once the sales start to decline!

For a typical game launch the breakdown of how much people pay is like 1/3 pay full price, 1/3 pay medium, 1/3 pay the cheapest. It varies based on the game quality or other circumstances.

Now I am wondering Where CVS2 Ranked? I'm already getting this Collection on PS4 and Switch.

If you're looking for some new retro Video Game Music remixes, please check out: Bandcamp - Retro VGM 2023 Volume 1 / Retro VGM 2023 Volume 2 / Castlevania 2023. (All remixes are from the 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit era of gaming.)

19:51. I own PS2 games and DVD movies for years but there's no sign of Disc Rot. The same for my PS3, PS4, and blu-ray movies collection that i owned for years. On the other hand, Nintendo cartridge pins can get rusty. The thing is...If you're taking good care of your physical collection by cleaning up and keep them in their case either that cartridge, CD, DVD, or bluray then i think all of them will be fine for years. As for how many MvC Collection will sell, i'm personally don't care because i'm not a Marvel Versus fans. But i will buy a PS4 copy to help Marvel fans get what they want. Beside, i really enjoyed The Punisher and X-Men COTA so the collection will be worth it for those two games alone.

Capcom are probably already planning a new marvel vs Capcom game thus the licencing with the addition of the punisher. I am guessing he'll be in the new game too. They'll probably use the sales of mvc collection to fund the development of the new game.

at $50~ 1st month selling price, 1.4 mil sales will be quite a bit of profit for redoing games to emulator. I feel like half of that would be fine. Anything else is just icing. Personally I'd be surprised they'll have a million in sales by next year. I'm also sure Marvel is looking at this closely, they need some wins. I think they realize the power of nostalgia from xmen 97 and when they saw that as their best D+ show for the last couple of years they probably said to Capcom, "remember that Max Dood? Let him have his cake".

Preordered my copy today.

No one thinks this will hit 3M??? That’s wild.

GameStop has got marvel vs Capcom fighting collection up for pre-order for both the Nintendo switch and the PlayStation 4. Make sure you reserve your copy early.

It might sell well, because X-men vs. SF, Marvel Superheroes vs. Streetfighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Superheroes is included in the collection too. Alot of gamers like those games more than MvC2, so that is alot of added sales for capcom. If it was just MvC2 being sold, it would sell good enough, but alot less. Having those first 3 cross over games that people love a bit more, and the marvel fighting games, and beat em ups, is alot of added sales.👍😄

Im definitely gonna get it, though MvC2 is probably at the bottom of my excitement. Ive got a bigger nostalgic connection for the other 3 VS games in the collection, and always wanted to try MSH and COTA. Punisher I also heard is a hidden gem so that should be fun too.

I'll do my part. Picking up physicals on both switch and ps4. And a lot of times with a game I play a lot, I end up grabbing it digitally as well when it's on sale for 50% off or more. So that is, potentially, 4 copies for me and I'm sure I'm far from the only one who does this.

I have all the marvel vs capcom games in physical format 😅… it is crucial to show up to buy this physical if possible and if you have pc getting it on steam… the switch has huge base and should hit a million sales alone

I don’t play fighting games BUT I will absolutely be buying this JUST to support you guys

Can’t wait to play this currently just playing some good old umvc 3

Wish you luck, people. If there is a MvC4 sometime, I'll probably buy it, after making sure is not a fail like SFxT or Infinite. But as much as I can solidarize with your pleas, I'll not pay 50 bucks for a collection of old games I'm not interested to play ever.

@YoVideogames What version will everyone be getting? Steam or PS4 or Switch

I'll buy both the PS4 and Switch then; need a new game! 😭

already preordered my 2 physical copies, getting my pc copy the frame its available. doing my part

I’m buying it for all 3 systems. Two physical and one on steam

I'm buy for my switch and PlayStation at $70

I legit think it could get to 3.1

Has there been confirmation of a physical release? I'll legitimately buy both digital and physical if so. (Unless it's a Limited Run release, I just don't want to wait half a year for my game to arrive with a bunch of unneeded merch)

A new MvC will probably be announced this year (maybe not at Evo, maybe at TGA again like Marvel Infinite)

What’s interesting is that the further you go back, the less clear the numbers get because we were still culturally (in the US) going to arcades for a lot of gameplay because everyone couldn’t afford consoles/games outright. Most of my logged gameplay on the collection was rentals and arcade cabs

Considering it's got alot of greatness it'll sell well im betting

You know imho I feel like MUGEN held the MVC 2 provable torch for quite some time its time for the King to return and lets see if they still got it since online and rollback is in the mix the real question is would Mugen promote interest or simply surpass Marvel 2 with it's namesake potential although requires technical effort to make each Mugen/Ikamen screen pack to work?

Does anyone know if there's going to be retailer exclusive special editions of any kind? Steelbook?

I’m buying this digitally and later on if I find a physical copy I’m copping that one too because I don’t feel safe buying licensed games digitally. I’m in Lebanon so idk if I can easily find a physical copy but here’s to hoping. Ps: buying both on Switch

There's no way this fail,it's going to succeed

Even if the xbox versions accounted for 20%? 😅 thats the most generous number I could possibly imagine it could have, even generous for the best day on a Microsoft platform. I't never ceases to amaze me how out of touch the fgc is with the tourney scene still being a startlingly small minority of the overall collective customer base. Like, there's a reason Microsoft is in the shape it is now, and it's not Steam, Nintendo or Sony's fault. Just because its not going to be on any MS platform doesn't make it an actual issue worth calling attention to.

I'm 100% getting this on at LEAST 1 platform, whether it be Switch or Steam. If it's affordable enough for me, and I've got enough to spare, then I'm getting both. And I think that's an important thing to note is that there WILL be people who buy two or even all three versions of the game, whether it be just to have access to or just to support it that bit extra. I can imagine a lot of double dipping with Steam and Switch, simply because the Switch is SO good for portability, and I'm sure Steam Deck will be too. Between that and the IMMENSE amount of art and hype I've seen online, I'd say 2M is very likely for this collection.

If there's a physical copy I need 3 for sure

I think this collection being on switch will massively help it out. Wouldnt be surprised if 50% of the sales are from it

I’m getting this for X-Men vs Street Fighter and MVC2. It will be great to finally have a full arcade based version of those games.

Let’s make this happen! My brother and cousins are all in for our own copy

read an event hubs interview that these are on MT framework which doesn't natively work on the next gen consoles which is fine for playstation but for xbone I think there is like some policy that series version needs to be the best version in terms of performance but since capcom has moved on to RE engine they probably don't feel it's worth it to make updates to the engine to try and make it native to current gen. Might also explain crossplay not being a thing but not too sure about that one. Edit: Also I'm buying all versions baybeee

Hey Simmons, you should be on Spawn Wave's SpawnCast LIVE to talk with them about this because they are going to talk about the Nintendo Direct and the MvC not on Xbox controversy and maybe discuss everything you just mentioned with the SpawnCast crew.

I don’t wanna hype up the Switch, mainly due to how its successor is more or less coming next year, but 3rd party games do sell well on that system, I ain’t saying it’ll sell 1 million, but it will add a significant number to the total sales because people travel a lot and having the collection on Switch (and Steam Deck) will boost its sales a good healthy amount.

Fuck sales numbers. Miss the days when that shit didn’t matter. I think it will sell well and MVC4 is definitely gonna happen, they have to

I'm going to get as many versions as I can. Not just because I love the game, but I love God and thank him for this game.

to be fair I only bought the collectors edition for the figures and it was on sale at gamestop for like $30

buying it physically and digitally on everything

Preordered physical Switch copy, will also be getting on Steam! Hoping it sells over 2 🙏.

im buying a pc and switch version. Christmas, birthdays everyone is getting a copy

I am already buying 5 copies, so...there's that.

Pre-ordered both the PS4 & Switch. Trying to help those stonks numbers any way I can for MvC4 🙏
