Japanese developer and publisher Capcom is claiming that its recently released Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title Street Fighter II HD has shattered both day one and week one sales records for a digital console title.

To date the game has sold 250,000 copies. The firm also expects the game to break the current 30 day sales record, and even goes as far to say that it could go on to become the highest grossing digital title ever.
