You were saying...? - Image 1Truth is, Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) is not selling well in Japan. But before you go thinking that Capcom's got a real stinker in their hands, listen up first. It's not selling well because it is SOLD OUT. Crazy, crazy, ladies and gents. But true.

According to Capcom, they have no more copies left to sell. And while they still have a few boxes down in the basement that will be shipped out Monday, the demand still proves to be too overwhelming. No wonder folks turned to the torrents to get their copies. Ha!

So, did you enjoy the launch party last night?

Can't blame them the game is really good. The 360 controller sucks for this game(trust me I know) so I'll buy the PS3 version. This game will be worth your money and the only problem I have with it is that they need to have more characters.

You would think after 3 years of people complaining they could reengineer their controller...

You'd think they would fix the rrod, but then why should they? as they have so many unconditional lovers that'll buy all their stuff anyway.

 » well...

They at least TRIED to do something about RROD.....they havn't done squat about the controller. The first time the cpu shrank (from 90nm to 65nm) people said the controller was upgraded...but I think that was their imagination...

I almost can't believe they haven't done anything about the d-pad, even tho just about every single user has said they hate it. How that pos got thru design and testing I can't even guess

The 360 controller would arguably be the best ever made if the d-pad was high quality

It's the d-pad and left sticks placement that bugs me on the 360's pad. I much prefer it to be more symmetrical like PS1/2/3 layout. 360's pads a bit too bulky too.

Lack of copies is not the reason why people would turn to torrents

You are supposed to beat this game in 10 minutes, and basically every other arcade fighter as well...

Come talk to me when you are on your 100th play through with every character....
