I think I read it wrong. My apologies.
I'm okay with this, but the Vita pad is just terrible. The PSP bad becomes the best pad to play the game with when broken in. Used to light dash like a boss np.

Pretty low for Tekken. I remember when Tekken like MGS used to sell me on systems, the franchise has really run its course. I want big changes for Tekken 7, less clowning around and more grounded fighting like Tekken 5. Maybe even set it far off into the future with a mostly new cast and old man Jin Kazama.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I was gonna say I'm sure Tekken sold more on PS2, the fact that its on 3 platforms now is terrible in comparison.
a lot of games have gone multiplatform this to gain better sales, I've only seen decreases in sales.
It has been the same formula with some refinements since Tekken 5, so if they do go for big changes, I hope it's a bit more unique than that. I don't think that's going to happen though due to how Tekken 4 turned out.
Would have loved if they continued in the direction T4 set. It wasn't perfect but I really enjoyed the changes in T4 it just needed another entry to refine it. I will be keeping close eye on what happens to Tekken next gen though.
They are gonna be doing a lot of refinements and experimenting with Tekken gameplay through Tekken X Street Fighter. So just look out for that game. I'm hopeful for an E3 reveal (if not any earlier).
No prob.
Are they even gona go through with it judging by how poorly received and damaging SFxT was? It's a gamble even more so than Capcoms one. I'd rather see T7 but Namco's version of Capcom characters still has me intrigued. Probably wont happen until next gen.

UNSG did better than it probably deserved to.
It was a slapped together game made to stall until UNS3 came out. Mostly made of old content, at that.
That's what I'd imagine the dev team started working on after TTT2 released (aside from Smash Bros. 4). It's gonna happen. They have Street Fighter characters up for use. There is no way they'll pass that opportunity up.

That wasn't laziness, that was lack of resources.
Maybe now Namco will give the series a little more respect and not just rush the next intallement to bridge the gap till the next Tekken.
SCV was great. Loved it.
Nawp, SC5 deserves its sales because of its amazing gameplay.
YES! Super SC5!

Glad to see Soul Calibur 5 selling well, i hope this secure Soul Calibur 6 for next gen platforms with more characters and a char customization where we can SHARE our creations (like Forza storefront)

Namco basically threw away SCV unfinished in order to focus on TTT2. Considering how I prefer SC's gameplay, I can't help but smile at these results. Maybe Namco will give some respect to the next SC.
Besides, I love the character editor, so I've had hours of fun with it even outside of multiplayer/online.
It has shipped 1.12 million copies so far. How many copies do you think these Naruto games usually sell?
They shipped 1.2 million copies worldwide, but most of it (940k) was for Japan/Asia, where it was released in the previous fiscal year. The 260k for this fiscal year weren't enough to make it relevant for reporting, I imagine.
I'm happy with the Soul Calibur V results. Numbers aren't as high as Soul Calibur IV, but not bad, considering the development rushing and Project Soul being dissolved initially after IV. Barring something shitty going on in Namco Bandai, Soul Calibur continues as a franchise.
Xillia 2...I guess that's about right though I was expecting ever so slightly higher off the heels of Xillia doing very well in Japan. Xillia sold right around this number in its first week, but I suppose it was heavily promoted or something.

I don't think that's quite right. They are separate teams.
Also, people gotta remember that SCV had quite a head start here.

Good for SCV, I loved that game to death and it deserved the good sales!
naruto is probably pure profit for them, Its a hack job made from all 3 storm games. the most expensive things probably was the cut scenes.
I'd really like tekken to do more it was so fun. I need to get SCV soon, maybe it might get a vita port.
I got one piece but they don't supply psn numbers though.

As of december? Where did you find it?
SCV came out in January. TTT2 came out in September. Take TTT2's arcade release and that time gap into consideration.
