I thought we were talking consoles.. Fighters don't work well on handhelds and Tekken is the wrong exclusive for Nintendo. That game is better suited to cross platform. There is no point to having a fighter be exclusive to a console unless you're going to have it be on a Nintendo console and have Nintendo characters in it. If you do it right it will work because Nintendo fans are very passionate about their icons. I bought Soul Calibur on cube mainly due to the exclusive inclusion of Link however I'm not sure adding a Sony icon would have the same effect on Sony fans. They aren't as into their icons. Killer Instinct is another example of an exclusive and very unique fighter to do well on Nintendo.

I can't think of any exclusive fighters this gen besides Dead or Alive 4 for 360 and it didnt sell above 1 million(low install base). Im sure there is other exclusives but i cant think of any. Comparing game trends 10 years ago will probably be different now. However Super Smash Bros sells extremely well and its in the same genre as all stars so you have that. So exclusive fighters can sell well if done right

Dead Or Alive sold 1.01m units until ioi decided for whatever reason to completely remove the European sales of 2006-2010.
Obviously that was not an adjustment.

Really? Why did he do that? That's kind of messed up
|
European sales are easily the most fickle number/object.

I don't understand that though. Sold is sold right?
I really liked Dead or Alive 4 too. Dead or Alive and Mortal Kombat are probably my two favorite technical fighters
