Wow, Tekken did terrible - only just over a third of the sales Tekken 7 managed first week on PS4. Even adding in digital sales it'd be well down. One of the worst first weeks for the franchise physically in its history - even Tekken 6 on X360 sold more! Hopefully it's doing better overseas because by all accounts it's a solid step up over the last one.

Tekken 8 sold double SF6 FW in the UK so seems to be doing well in the west.

I don't know if this explains it, but this Famitsu chart only seems to account for 2 days of sales, since it launched on the 26th.

Would be a shame if it sells poorly in Japan since its reviewing very well and everyone seems to agree that it's a big step up from Tekken 7 in many regards.

Competitive players will probably opt for the Steam version, but they're the minority of the userbase.
