I don't doubt that it will sell the most in Japan. Thats the point. Arcades are still popular over there for a reason. With Street Fighter 4 coming, they are going to make bank off of SF4. That will be the fighting game of the year no doubt, Soul calibur coming in second and Tekken in 3rd. Tekken will always remain number 1 to me however and I will play the hell out of that game. :)

If we're talking arcade profits, I doubt SF will beat Tekken (and SC isn't even ported to arcades anymore, so that doesn't even count), though it'll probably reign supreme for the first few months after it's release (I'm waiting for Arcadia's August chart for the top 10 Japanese arcade games...that's when we'll know). If we're talking about general releases, then it'll be a battle between SF4, SC4, and MK/DC. Tekken 6 wouldn't even be in the running for that, considering that it released nothing this year (the arcade port was released last year, and the console port will be released...well...I really wish I could tell you).

 

 

I hear that SF4 is getting great press from the arcades in Japan. No SF's arcades have been sold to America though. Theres only one Tekken 6 Arcade in America and it's in Texas. Yes, I believe the true war for sales will b e between SF4, SC4 and MK/DC. Personally myself I cannot wait for Blue Blaz (the new guilty gear) on PS3. Battle fantasia is also coming and I cannot wait for that one either. Those games will not be selling very well even though I cannot wait.

According to SD Tekken, there are actually quite few T6 arcade machines in U.S. (emphasis on few)---two in California, two in Texas, one in Nevada, one in Wisconsin, and one in New York. Still not that many, and I hear the waits for the machines are quite long.

I really do wish the Guilty Gear series was more successful. I've always thought it was highly addicting. But the 2D-fighting genre has suffered even more than the 3D-sector over the past decade. But of course, I don't have a PS3 (though I'll probably be getting one soon, as I really want LittleBigPlanet).
