MK used to be bigger than SF but MK1 seems to have fumbled bad. Unfortunate.

Oh it's still bigger than SF, in terms of sales and general recognizability MK trounces SF (And most fighting games series) but in terms of dedicated playerbase it tends to fall off way more heavily than SF does.

Best way I've heard someone put it, people buy Mortal Kombat but people play Street Fighter.

As far as David Jaffe goes, he was only Game Director on GoW1 and Creative Director of GoW2, so it seems he didnt work on most of Greek games, that helped to make Kratos into a character. Its likely Kratos was intended to be a monster character.

While I prefer that Kratos actually got sort of redemption, I do wonder how would permanently aggressive monster character be received. That kind of archetype seems to not be a thing as much for playable characters. A person who does selfish things and does not care for others. Imagine if Kratos remained as such, he would immediately try to "ODIIIIIN" after Baldur attacks him, And then next Myth Saga he would go into another killing spree once next God does him dirty.

...Yeah I dont like that idea. Could monster protagonist ever work for a long lasting series? Besides like actual monsters lol

Eh tbf they thought the franchise was done with Gow 3 so him being a rage fueled in the third run was probably what was intended

I wonder why
 
Ok so i did a bit of research MK1 sold 3 million in a little over 2 months since launch, SF6 sold 2 million or 2.47 or so million in less then a 1 month after launch

Not a huge difference, Capcom sold almost close NRS numbers in lesser time
