I know it's a problem for some games. That's not my point. But whatever. The problem will sort itself out.

Lol. Think about it for a second. Here are namco's financial results for Q1 2010.

In Q1 they sold 1 mil of T6 but they shipped over 2 millions of the game.
I don't think you realize how popular the tekken brand really is.
Think about it another way. If they shipped over 2 million and by now it sold over 3,5 mil then if the launch 2 million didn't sell, why would they ship additional 1,5 million to retailers over the next course of 2 years?

To say that CAS sucks cause you can create dumb characters is, dumb
I had a LOT of fun with CAS. I just went through my pics and I'm amazed at how well I could re-created characters from games or animes or whatever, but also make awesome alts for the main characters.

What about Repented Nightmare, Paladin? Or goth Tira? Or Roman Legionaire Sophitia?
I can't wait to make some new stuff

Which is why retailers bought it in droves. Consumers didn't. If we compile all the data for sales then that's the only reasonable conclusion. There is no sales tracker in the world that can show those numbers for a reason.
Also SCIV did incredible numbers and charted very well within the first few months for reference.
Dude... you're claiming that Tekken sold only approximately hundred's of thousands despite selling 3.5 million to retailers? So going by your logic there are millions of copies of Tekken 6 idly lying all over retail chains?
Tekken 6 really did sell 3.5 million. It's not that hard to believe at all. It's not as much as the PS2 versions or T3 either. It's a very high selling series.

What this means is Evo just handed Oofmatic the win.

Whaa..?
Ok, you just defy logic. No one wins against that.
It's 3AM, so I'm willing to leave this like that and go finally to bed.

Well please find the sales data that says otherwise. I couldn't find it, because the game didn't even chart within months of release. Anywhere but media create.
Oh well thread derail has gone on long enough, lol.

Man this game really needs the save screenshot function in the xmb like tekken 6. Would love to see everyone's creations in direct feed screenshots.

Does anyone know what is included or extra in the collector's edition guide versus the standard?

Ah, the pics are the same so didn't even realize. Just assumed it was "collectors" meaning it would have a limited print run.

You are sort of correct lol. I just read this comment on the Future Press Facebook regarding someone who was asking about the collector's edition guide.
That explains why I didn't get a notification this would be shipping in a week. I was on the wishlist for the wrong one.
Can we have the voices of regular characters but change their appearances? I need to make a Suzaku Patroklos CaC and a Lelouche Xiba CaC.
Didn't chart where? On the top 10? Because that means next to nothing. You know retailers can return unsold stock, right? 3.5 mil to retailers means at least 2.5 mil were sold to customers, at the absolute minimum.
Hahaha, oh man. That was silly. Are those in the game? More fighters need entertaining tutorials.
That's... about 50 times easier to remember than whatever it was in SC2. Good to hear.
I'm getting flashbacks to the great Brawl debate of Evo '08...

I just linked you to their financial report for q1 that already proven you wrong. They shipped over 2m and sold 1m in Q1. They shipped 2 million to retailers and then what? Sold 1 million to retailers? What world do you live in?
Every new game debuts on charts, what the hell are you talking about?

Dude. When you want to initiate the argument, you need to back it up your own story, not the other way around. That's the basis of every argument.

Sounds like he realized he was dead fucking wrong and tried to bail before anyone actually pulled some numbers.

Oh so it did chart(at the bottom on release month). Well case closed. Million seller indeed. Stuffing the retail channel isn't new or unheard of.
How does game that doesn't chart well sell millions in homes? That doesn't happen. The absence of sales data is very telling in its own.
So back to Soul Calibur V. Is the game being sold at said launch party?

Not to keep the negative TK6 sales things going, but it's interesting.
Grayfox, or anybody. Does anybody have a sales breakdown of what price Tekken 6 sold per copy sold?
I seem to remember Namco shipping a lot to retailers, and I remember the price went down pretty quick (relatively).
I bought it at $30, and I know a lot of people bought it at $20.
It's just interesting how this kind of stuff pans out, and how much profit Namco is making if the price drops too fast, and if they have to pay some retailers back some money for unsold stock, and if Namco is like too bad, you bought those copies already.
O yea,
SC5 is awesome, hehe.
