Tekken as a series was built on arcades and Playstation, but Tekken 4 killed all of the steam Tekken had built as a franchise. Nintendo and Xbox are essentially secondary where the fanbase was built.

Am I the only person that feel that Tekken (or fighting games like it) is the poster child for free to play ad supported gaming?

Just like tekken Revolution, everyone gets a max of 5 free tokens (one every 30mins) that they can use and play or buy tokens to play (approc 25c each). And the good thing about the  tokens is that you only lose them when you lose a fight. 

Free to play ad supported gaming? Tekken Revolution I can understand because it was free, but Tekken lost a lot of fanfare after Tekken 4. Game sold really well until the middle of the PS2 era. They kind of need to give out a free taste test to gain the fanfare back. Tekken 5 brought it back but the sales were never the same.

Sales were never the same in comparison to tekken 2 and 3, but tekken 5 and 6 still sold better than tekken 4. I think fighting games started to lose steam around that time as well as the fact that tekken 4 wasn't that well received.
