Tekken Tag Tournament 2 doesn't reach top 10 in US sales
Quote:
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 didn't chart in the top 10 for September 2012's sales, according to the NPD, who tracks these numbers for the North American region. The rundown for this month was posted on NeoGAF where both TTT2 and Dead or Alive 5 were absent. It's important to note that Dead or Alive 5 was released on September 25th, so it didn't have a lot of time to accumulate sales for this list.
Creamsugar, who's known on the NeoGAF boards for providing some insight into the NPD's numbers, stated that TTT2 sold over 100,000 copies in North America, with 61% of those being for the Xbox 360.
Namco Bandai expected to sell 2 million copies of TTT2 during its primary sales window, while they stated Soul Calibur 5 sold 1.38 million copies through its release up till August 2012. Tecmo Koei had predicted that they would move 1 million copies of Dead or Alive 5 during it's run.
To compare TTT2 with other major releases in North America, Soul Calibur 5 hit the #7 spot back in March 2012 in overall North American sales while Street Fighter X Tekken charted at #6 in April.
The sales for TTT2 will of course improve over time, but it's unfortunate that Namco Bandai didn't see stronger numbers for a major fighting game release in North America.
Really don't care about the sells the game is still awesome.
True, but fact is that the Tekken stans need to keep it all the way cute with the Street Fighter stans, Tekken is NOT the most iconic, better, best selling fighting game and it SHOWS
SF is iconic but so is tekken let's not act brand new, It was capcom who teamed up with namco for the crossover. They are both very much iconic with SF leading by a big but not too much bigger margin.
What annoys me is when some SF fans want to say SF4 revived the fighting genre when it all did was come out at the right time.
