@ iclim4

I think 103K for Darc Resurrection is IMO pretty good for just Europe back in August 2007. Add North American and Japan sales and a few months worth of European sales, it should be quite respectable. Would be interested to know Warhawk sales.

I think the numbers would more than double If they released PSN cards.
I still think 103K for a tekken game is pretty low.
though I guess I missed the "August" part so it might be a lot higher now.

but why are they presenting really old numbers?
downloadable games should be a lot easier to keep track off compared to retailed games.

I want PJMonsters and Super Stardust HD, but I don't have (and don't want ) a CC ... *sigh*

That's me digging up old numbers. Just for reference and extrapolation purposes.

Note Tekken 5: DR for the PS3 is just a FullHD remake of an older PSP game. For small companies online distribution and advertising is quite cheap, so good profitability is quite feasible at sub 100K figures. Some of the best PC shareware games sell a order of magnitude lower.

In August, the PS3 has only been out for 5 months, had another 6 since then.

So Tekken5:DR, has 100k sales in August, now might have 200k, plus whatever has sold in US and Japan. Which is probably not bad.(Do Japan have it? Don't know what's avalaible there).



Hmm, pie.

Lafiel on 21 February 2008

yea ofcourse the JPN store has it and they were the first ones to get the online mode for T5:DR

 Agreed, the PS3 received a huge boost in Europe during christmas.
