I love these costumes so much
Overall:
October retail game sales are down 24% year over year.
Hardware was down 35% year over year.
Console and Handheld game sales were down 18% year over year.
Physical and Steam PC software sales were down 28% year over year.
Software:
Notes:
- There's a note here implying that Sun and Moon combined outsold Call of Duty.
- Pokémon Sun and Pokémon: Moon had the strongest launch in the history of the franchise, selling 8 percent more units than the previous best-selling combo of Pokémon: White and Pokémon: Black despite having 19 fewer days in market during the month, said Naji.

- Software spending in November 2016 declined by 19 percent compared to this time last year, said Naji. The decline can be fully attributed to the top 3 selling games which, combined, sold 43 percent less than the top 3 games from last November. Combined spending across all other titles grew 12 percent in November compared with a year ago.
Hardware:
PS4: #1 Console
Notes:
- The PlayStation 4 was the top-selling hardware system in the month, driven by the PS4 Slim System 500GB Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End Bundle, said Naji. This SKU accounted for 30 percent of all hardware units sold.
- Unit sales of 3DS hardware grew 59 percent versus November a year ago, the sixth straight month of year-on-year growth, according to the NPD analyst.
- Total accessory spending, including PlayStation VR headsets sold through retail, declined by 6 percent versus November 2015 driven by a 49 percent decline in interactive-gaming toys, said Naji. All interactive-gaming toys franchises experienced declines in the month compared to November 2015. Lego Dimensions is the current market leader in the segment with 38 revenue share in November.
- While spending across gamepads was down overall, sales of the Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller grew 46 percent in November versus the prior year, said Naji. The Sony DualShock 4 was the months No. 1 selling gamepad overall.

Alright Capcom here that stage and those costumes already got me sold.
Fighting games rock it and don't really matter at the end of the day. So long as you can see what the character is going to do, it doesn't really impact reacting to it.
I mean, Tekken's customization obviously didn't matter with all the wacky things you could place on characters, and SF4's costumes are pretty gaudy.

Pretty good costumes. Wish they weren't limited time. Really BS thing to do, at least they had an "excuse" with the CPT bundle.
no need because Darkstalkers characters coming next year as DLC.

You kids these days I swear.
Though to be fair, the masked samurai is more of an uncommon design than anything.
I believe you mean R. Mika :v
It's something that they think will push more people to buy if they believe it will expire after a while. I think Tekken 7 in arcades does it as well, but their CPT shit is like that.

Sadly not Victor's :V
Maybe she get's Morrigan alt, complete with unaltered 16-bit look.

Damn, those costume prices... Why am I even surprised?
People are still begging for missing features from past SF games but nope, gotta get that dlc money!

Is that Tessa from Red Earth?
And it's great to see more 3rd Strike love...
No it's Necro dressed as a witch!

What missing features from past SF aren't in the game outside of a traditional Arcade mode?
They've always costed that much in SFV, hence why I'm hoping they eventually do costume bundles. Also, the people fixing the game itself aren't the ones doing the DLC content.

Necro and Effie in the background is the best part about all of this.
It's Necro dressed as Tessa, you mean!

Hope we get Mummy Vega.
And people like you keep putting forth the silly idea that the people making outfits are the same ones making new modes. That's not how it works.
Nope.
Nope
Not gonna lie, I wasn't going to get the Halloween stage but I'm probably going to get it now for this sole reason lol

They really need to put together a bundle. I do not want to purchase them all separately.
I know the logic sounds dumb but I'd rather buy them all for $20-$25 then have to purchase them separate for $4 as instead of getting them all I'll just pick 1 or 2 I really like and call it a day.
