| Onyxmeth said: "Tekken owes it’s success to the PlayStation brand" Isn't it the other way around? I'm pretty sure Sony should be thanking Namco for giving them Tekken and Battle Arena Toshinden instead of going over to the Saturn, where a trifecta of those two plus Virtua Fighter could have slowed Playstation performance immensely in the early days when not much else looked very good and fighters were everything. |
It's a two-way street. PS owes some of it's success to tekken as much as tekken owes some of it's success to PS. PS was successful because of a wide variety of 3rd, 2nd and 1st party games. If tekken was out of the mix, it's possible that a few million people would have purchased the saturn (if thats where it went) but I'm pretty sure the numbers won't be significant enough to have altered the outcome of that gen.
In the same vein, if tekken had gone to saturn not PS, it probably won't be as popular as it is today...that's the point of the article
