Capcom’s president has some high hopes over how many copies Street Fighter 6 will sell
Street Fighter 6 is shaping up to be a strong followup to its predecessor, and it seems that Capcom’s president has some high hopes for how many copies it will sell.
As much as fighting game players like to think that fighting games are the hottest thing since sliced bread, for the most part it’s a pretty niche genre. The genre does typically retain players quite well, assuming the game is good, but in terms of sheer units it mostly struggles compared to other genres. That doesn’t matter much to Capcom’s president Haruhiro Tsujimoto though, as he’s hoping that the upcoming Street Fighter 6 will sell 10 million copies.
Tsujimoto recently spoke with Famitsu about a range of topics, like the industry at large, and what’s coming next for Capcom (thanks, PCGamer). On the topic of Street Fighter 6, the president said that Capcom had “no hesitation,” in investing in the fighting game. In terms of sales targets, Tsujimoto noted that “if we can make use of our experience in the digital field, we should be able to aim for 10 million units.”

How many jobs are available in technology in the US?
Technology companies added 18,795 workers in April, the largest number since August 2022, according to the latest US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figures and an industry analysis of that information.
The data revealed a mixed bag of results for tech workers last month. Technology jobs throughout the economy declined by 99,000 positions even as employer job postingspassed 300,000 — a level last reached in October, according to a report from CompTIA, a nonprofit association for the IT industry and workforce.
Both the overall US unemployment rate, at 3.4%, and the number of unemployed, at 5.7 million, changed little in April, according to BLS data released today. The national unemployment rate has ranged between 3.4% and 3.7% since March 2022.
