Well with lore like "They woke up one day and for some reason had weird arms" it was destined to have some written work based on it...

Sure whatever, but at this rate it will outsell them. In terms of FW sales, it outsold SFV and Tekken 7 combined on a platform where it only had a few million users vs. around 70-80 million at the time. If that doesn't deserve some kind of recognition I don't know what will. Those games have been out much longer than Arms and Arms is tracking well above these games. I guess yeah I provided the wrong information for this argument but yeah, it's well on its way to surpassing them which is sad when you think about it.

Bold: Where do I in slightest imply that ARMS doesn't deserve a Dark Horse comic book?

Ok. So no source. I see the logic in what you're saying though and ARMS will most likely surpass the other fighters soon (if it hasn't already).

Ljink96's "ARMS outsold Street Fighter and Tekken" just made it sound like he had seen some official numbers that I hadn't. I hope you're ok with me showing interest in such numbers. After all, sales numbers are the main reason why I'm here

Literally takes two minutes of research dude 

That was in two weeks

It's all good man. I'm just interested in seeing the sales numbers. I love sales numbers.

I never said that ARMS "doesn't deserve recognition" or that it "won't outsell the other games eventually". No need to excuse yourself further.

Another poster already pointed out that it sold 1.18 mill in its first two weeks and that there's a pretty good chance it's at least tied with the other games.

But thanks anyway dude.

But you criticized another user for not providing a source ...

If you already had the source what was the point of criticizing him for restating a fact?

I feel like I recal seeing Arms selling like 2-3k like a week or two ago on the Japan chartz. Guessing that was the lowest, seeing as it probably drops each week. That was then like 15 weeks or so past launch, or 13 week past the 1.18 official numbers. So its safe to add another like 50k to the numbers from Japan alone.

It's not Splatoon 2, but its definatetly deserving of a sequal. And if a manga can add some new fans to the series, I think its a brilliant marketing strategy. Heck sales are probably over 1.5 million by now with a conservative estimate and we have yet to reach the games first holiday. The holiday season should give this game a bump.

I think he wanted a source citing that it had as many sales as SV5 or Teken 7.

Criticized? Can you please elaborate?

I asked IF the user had a source because I'm interested in sales numbers. That's not criticising. At least that wasn't what I intended.

ARMS sales are indeed impressive. I just asked if I could see the numbers that I thought ljink96 had seen.
