Sales Of Tekken 8 Have Surpassed The Two Million Mark

The past twelve months have been exceptionally rewarding for aficionados of fighting games, highlighted by the triumvirate of high-caliber game releases: Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 11, and Tekken 8, all debuting within a span of seven months. Each title garnered critical acclaim and achieved impressive sales figures, yet Tekken 8 appears to have eclipsed its counterparts in terms of success.

Despite Street Fighter 6's notable milestone of achieving three million sales within half a year, Tekken 8 has shattered expectations by amassing over two million sales in a mere three weeks. Bloomberg's technology correspondent, Takashi Mochizuki, reports that these sales figures have caught even Bandai Namco, the game's developer, by surprise as they soar beyond the company's initial projections.
