| think-man said: Tekken has been on decline for a long time. The franchise could probably benefit from a 10 year hiatus or something. Regardless I've been itching to play it. |
I think Japan is just done with fighting games in general. Not the first fighter I see bombing. Japan is becoming a place where games are made for a global audience, kinda how the Canadian, French and UK industries survive not from their domestic markets but exports.
Western sales should more than make up for this, it charted at 1 in the UK, the first time for the franchise since Tekken 3. I see a lot of buzz for Tekken 7, it sold 130k on Steam alone in a week https://steamspy.com/app/389730
