Tekken 7 just recently broke 3.6 million sales putting it behind the outdated 5 million figure for Mortal Kombat X. Making Tekken the 2nd best selling traditional fighter this gen.
In fighting threads here and on other sites, people said that there was no way that japanese fighters could change and appeal to a wider audience without sacrificing quality and mechanics, while also remaining a niche genre because "1vs1" and other silly excuses, and Tekken 7 has proven this just isn't true. It's a huge success with more content on the way, and nothing had to be stripped or dumbed down to do it.
What kind of lessons should Japanese fighting devs learn from Tekken so that they too can sell to a larger group of consumers? With most other franchises struggling to hit 500k and SF having been through a slump, there should be plenty lessons to learn from the success of Tekken 7.
