Tekken Series Has Sold Over 57 Million Copies

Since its release in January, Bandai Namco’s has been a monumentally successful addition to the long-running fighting game franchise. In just its first month of sale, the game managed to sell over 2 million units worldwide. Some critics have even declared as being one of the best fighting games of all time. For 30 years, has stood as a pillar in the fighting game space, along with other well-renowned series', such as and.

Unless a game is breaking records, it's quite rare that we get direct sales data from publishers — and Square Enix in particular is somewhat notorious for this. As such, interested parties usually have little choice but to try and determine commercial success through other means.

It seems Toys for Bob's warmly received Crash Bandicoot sequel has been a huge success. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, the first numbered sequel in the series since 1998's Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, has sold over five million copies, according to the studio's design director, Toby Schadt.

Tekken 8's producer, Katsuhiro Harada, expressed his impressions about a Roblox recreation of Bandai Namco's fighting game and its inclusion of a stage based on Waffle House. The Tekken series is well-known for having a number of fighters that span across the entire globe, with a number of cultures and martial arts styles being represented. Tekken 8's stages are diverse backdrops from different parts of the world, including Rome, France, Peru, and the United States of America. One incredibly popular request is a stage based on a Waffle House.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is one of the best 3D platformers in recent memory, but there’s been strangely little information out there on how the game has performed from a commercial perspective. Activision hasn’t ever provided any sales figures for the title- though one developer’s LinkedIn profile may have revealed new details on that front.

Allowing you to play as a shark and wreak all sorts of havoc in an open world setting, Maneater has praised for being big, dumb, gleeful fun by most who played it, and that reception has translated to impressive sales for the action RPG.

Call of Duty tends to get a bad rap, sometimes justified, as seen with the recent Modern Warfare 3. One of the more underwhelming titles in the franchise was Sledgehammer’s Call of Duty: Vanguard, set during World War 2. Activision Blizzard even admitted in its 2021 annual report that it didn’t meet expectations.

Call of Duty: Vanguard sold over 30m copies.

Developer Stunlock Studios has announced a new milestone for its vampire-themed survival crafting title V Rising. Leading up to the game’s exit from early access on May 8, V Rising has sold 4 million copies since its early access release.

Outspoken Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada has made a bold claim that is unlikely to ruffle any feathers in the broader audience: younger gamers prefer team-based games because they can blame, at least partially, any losses on their teammates rather than having to take sole responsibility for losing on themselves.

In response to the high volume of requests for its inclusion, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada has made perhaps the inadvisable decision to ask fans why they want a Waffle House level added to the game. For the uninitiated or the international, Waffle House is an American restaurant chain, with most of the company's 1,900 US stores located in the midwest and south of the country.

It's a stellar day for a JRPG sales update: Dragon's Dogma 2 has soared past 2.5 million copies sold, while the stellar Unicorn Overlord has sold 500,000 copies worldwide since launch.
