Fighting game Tekken 6 sold 1.15 million units in the US alone during publisher Namco Bandai's 2011 financial year - despite the game launching in 2009.

Ninja Theory's excellent PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 adventure game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, which launched in October 2010, shifted 730,000 units worldwide by the end of March 2011.

Although the new figure is up from the 460,000 worldwide sales Namco Bandai reported for the game in February, the Japanese publisher will still consider Enslaved to have performed poorly – it initially targeted a million sales.

Executives have said it failed to break out because it was released during a packed holiday season.

But despite its poor performance, a sequel hasn't been entirely ruled out.

Elsewhere Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 moved 1.1 million worldwide, and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 sold 580,000.

Overall, Namco Bandai enjoyed a much better time of it during financial year 2011 than the previous year, during which is made a loss.

Sales were up 4.1 per cent, and operating income was up a whopping 767.3 per cent.

The PlayStation 3 was Namco Bandai's biggest platform. It sold just over 5.5 million units on Sony's console, a million ahead of the units sold on the PlayStation Portable.

The company sold just over three million Xbox 360 games, just under three million Wii games, and just under four million Nintendo DS games.

Somehow Ninja Theory suddenly got very quiet on how Heavenly Sword didn't make them profit ;)

So is Tekken 6 undertracked? 

Is Enslaved undertracked?

Naruto overtracked?

Good to see them doing better, same goes for Capcom, Japan seems to be stepping it up on the business side of things as of recently.

If a game doesn't sell in a quiet period it's because it should have been released during the holidays,

and if a game doesn't sell during the holidays it's because it should have been released in a quiet period.

What game came out in a quite period and was to have been able to sell more in the holidays? Was is it a publisher that said it?

There's a lot of games released during the holiday in the first place because they can sell more units, and then when it doesn't sell they blame the period being too busy, when what they should be doing is accept that the game never had much potential in the first place and wouldn't have sold better in say March. 

Ah, ok, I understand and your right. I thought a publisher or developer said it.

Not really that impressive. I bet most of those sales came,when they lowered the price. I know I bought if for dirt cheap.

even the 1 million projection was pretty low already. Though that shows that HD games don't need THAT many sales. At least when using clever developement structures.

i dont think tekkens overtracked that 1 million is coming from the 360, ps3 and psp I think they sold around 2 million before their 2011 year truly started. enslaved might be though
