Good point. Mortal Kombat 11's first week is probably in 10th then.

You know anything about who's updating VGC's database?

That would be Machina and me

Thanks. Would you be able to use some of these sources in order to update VGC numbers?

Besides Tekken and Smash, there's actually a bunch of fighting games that have sold more as well. That still doesn't make ARMS a failure though.

Best selling fighting games in the 8th generation (excluding WWE 2K and EA Sports UFC):
1. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: 20 million (link)
2. Mortal Kombat X: 11 million (link)
3. Tekken 7: 6 million (link)
4. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2: 6 million (link)
5. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4: 5.8 million (link)
6. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse: 5 million (link)
7. Dragon Ball: FighterZ: 5 million (link)
8. Street Fighter V: 4.7 million (link)
9. ARMS: 2.1 million (link)
10. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot: 2 million (link)

No new sales updates on Mortal Kombat 11 (1.8 million in 1 week) or Injustice 2 (1.5 million in 3 months).

Edit: Updated the list with a few new numbers. I noticed that many of these games' numbers aren't updated in VGC's database but I guess that's due to lack of staff.

I'm also sure ARMS is now more around 2.5M sales now, but without any update from Nintendo we'll never know how well it sold in the end.

Agreed. I'm sure Mortal Kombat 11 is over 1.8 million as well. I've only included confirmed numbers though.

Minor quibble.  The Xenoverse games and Kakarot aren't really fighting games.  They're more RPGs.

Yup. I think Kotaku called Kakarot part fighting game, part fetching game or something like that. But you're right.
