According to a Capcom's Q&A session posted to the publisher's investor relations site today, the company addressed the Street Fighter x Tekken worldwide sales of 1.4 million.
Seems that, despite moving over 1 million units, sales didn't perform up to Capcom's expectations. They blame a glut of recent fighting game releases...
"Sales of Street Fighter X Tekken have fallen short of our plan," the company's statement confirmed. "We believe one of [the] causes is cannibalism because of the large number of other games in this genre that were launched within a short time."

Well, actually Capcom themselves have released a lot of them in recent years, including Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition.
In the same time frame other publishers have released Mortal Kombat, SoulCalibur V, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, and King of Fighters XIII.
They also addressed the successful sales of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (which shipped 2 million units) and said that was a vindication of their business plan.
"This shows the success of our decision to try the new approach of using an alliance with an overseas development company," the company said.
