If it's not broken (and IMO best in its category - unless you count SSBB) why mess it up? |
But maybe it is broken. A series like this should be getting stronger, especially as the install base on the PS2 went up. Maybe it was because of Soul Caliber and Dead or Alive, but this game has obviously lost some appeal with gamers. Again, I'm not trying to troll this topic or be a hater. I love this game, but I bought tekken 4 and just thought...meh. Tekken 5 didn't seem any diiferent...and Tekken 6 looks just the same. Time for a reboot is all I'm saying. Maybe Tekken vs. Soul Caliber would be cool. |
Those figures are wrong. According to Wikipedia, Tekken 5 sold 4.3 mil., which makes much more sense than 1.3 mil., especially considering how much better the game was than Tekken 4. Tekken is traditionally the most popular fighting series after SSB (and SF, if you go back that far) and this is generally reflected in sales. I find that only VGchartz's console numbers are worth trusting. Software sales that predate the creation of the website can be horribly wrong at times. Hell, there are many games that aren't even listed on this site, some as well known as Ninja Gaiden. |
Crazy that the numbers would be that off. I don't base my opinion on those numbers that the game (for me) needs a reboot. After routso mentioned the game wasn't broken I went to the charts and was surprised at what I saw. I will note, however, that Wikipedia showed no citation for those figures. |
Oh, I know what you mean about the reboot.
I just felt the need to point out that the series is still very popular. It bugs me that this game so often gets ignored as a heavy hitter for the ps3 next year. Such a high seller should help move consoles almost as much as MGS4, imo.
As to the source of the numbers, I'd assume they're from the official Tekken site, but since the site is entirely in Japanese, I can't confirm this.
