Sales of this "hardcore" games will determine the future faith of the Wii U. If Tekken Tag Tournament doesn't sell, Harada will probably go talk to Nintendo and say: "See, this complicated hardcore games don't sell on the casual Nintendo console" and thus the chain reaction begins and third party games won't be made.

That is discounting the fact that it released months earlier on other platforms and completely bombed on them.
But you're absolutely right, it will be used as fuel to down-play the Wii U in the future.

Lol it did not conpletely bomb namco has sales increase year over year as a whole and tekken was their top selling game
for the quarter.
|
It's under 500k worldwide with combined 360/PS3 sales. That's no exactly setting the world on fire.
|
Namco had it at 850,000 not counting north america only for Japan and Europe. its likely over a million sold. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/02/namco-bandai-profits-grow-tekken-tag-tournament-2-sales-strong/

My comment was for NA only (I forgot to clarify), and the game really did bomb compared to recent competition this generation, and even previous Tekken titles. The franchise (and the fighting genre as a whole) has really taken a dive. Hopefully the new gen can pick things back up.

Yes in terms of other tekkens yes it did underperform as they all usually do 3 million or higher, but tekken tag 2 will be extremely lucky to make 2 million. though I think they profited on it in that sense its a success as they don't have to sell as much of tekken considering it makes so much in the arcades before being put on consoles.
