Not going to sit here and say that I know what the sales numbers are (I doubt you do too, but that is beside the point :P), but yeah, the latter is what I meant in the first place. Sales might not be any different, but scene itself has grown in size and presence.
While this is a valid point, the GG community shouldn't be frustrated with BB taking away potential players (if that's what you are implying), but with the GG community itself. Let's be real here. The GG community is the biggest, laziest, most apathetic community in the fighting game community. I think the community has proven that over the course of seven years in the US.
