TEKKEN7 had achieved Over 3million sales before one year passed from release, but there was no timing to upload this (That’s why there is no Anna, Lei..).
We recorded over 47million copies sales for the series.

Does nobody post sales threads around here anymore? This news has been out for hours yet no sign of it on here. You're slacking folks. 

That's a lot for a less-than-one-year old fighting game right? Hopefully it has legs ......

It's weird that they waited so long to break the news as the game is 16 months old so it passed the milestone 4-5 months ago.

But here are the sales milestones according to wikipedia

Release-June 2017

2 million-Sept 2017

2.5 million-Dec 2017

2.8 million-March 2018

3 million-by June 2018

That's fantastic to see. Outsold Street Fighter V, hasn't it?

They screwed up the Story Mode real bad and introduced numerous characters (even some historical ones as Lei Wulong and Anna Williams) as paid DLC in spite of Harada saying like two years ago that if he ever put paid DLC on his games he would quit Bandai Namco.

For the likes of me, I wish it hadn't passed the 1 million milestone. This game deserved to bomb hard.

So if all things go well it might sell 4 million or even more by the end of the gen? 

Bought it on PC and PS4.

Played it on a free weekend and got my 1000G. No reason to buy now.
Game looks like shit on my 70" TV, because it only runs at 720p on Xbox (and 864p on PS4) Also not Xbox One X enhanced. Very poor on a technical level.

Series never should have stopped being a PS exclusive. They would have made more moneyy from diehard sony fans alone than spreading out angering some of them. The term PS exclusive does carry weight even if people say it doesn't

Nah, man. Franchise peaked with Tekken 3 (8.3 mill) but went downhill already with Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 which were also exclusive (to the PS2).

The franchise was declining in sales and only benefited from going multiplat.
