It's no news that SFV bombed in terms of sales and couldn't meet the initial sales target and the Arcade Edition didn't help turn it around. And we all already know why no one bought SFV, it was because of Ken.
Fans refused to support the game once they saw what happened to the fan favorite character. And it's not like Street Fighter is a niche no name series, SFIV ended up selling over 8 million units. But today after the direct it seems like Sakurai knows what the people want. They want the real Ken.
Smash Bros is going to end up selling over 10 million units (you can thank Ken.) If Capcom doesn't want the next mainline Street Fighter game to bomb like SFV they should get someone like Sakurai to lead it, because he knows what the fans want.
