Street Fighter HD Euro PS3 Date Nears

Game sells over 250,000 units despite no PS3 version for Europe, Capcom tells Edge release date is fast-approaching.

Capcom’s John Diamonon spoke yesterday of Street Fighter HD’s record-breaking debut-week sales for a digital release, yet the publisher still cannot confirm when the title – which launched late in November – will be released for the PS3 in Europe.

Edge understands that all indications point to a Q1 release for the title, perhaps earlier in that time window. “There are reasons why we can’t always release games when we want to, but we are working hard on getting the game out as soon as possible,” a Capcom spokesperson explained.

Capcom and SCEE will now have additional considerations to make, as the potential thunder-steal of the Street Fighter IV release is set for Feb 20 in Europe.

Super Street Fighter II HD Remix has now sold over 250,000 units to date, with Capcom claiming it is “on its way to becoming the highest grossing digital title ever”.
