I really wonder what happened to fighting games in Japan...I mean, yeah, arcades aren't what they used to be, but its crazy seeing even something so prestige like Street Fighter go from over 120,000 FW for SFIV to just over 40,000 for SFV. Same with Tekken. Of course, SFV launched with very little for a fifth game while Tekken 7 appeared to launch with all its content from the arcades. So what happened? ARMS is pretty much the first fighting game in Japan to reach over 100,000 FW units since Tekken 6 and SSFIV, which is like over 7 years ago. And this isn't counting Smash 4 with over 200,000 FW units sold on Wii U and over a million on 3DS.
