Tekken 6 On Xbox 360 Is Highly Probable

Tekken 6 will be hitting the Playstation 3 in 2008.  Tekken has always been a Playstation only series since day one.  Even the first Tekken was developed on the PS1 arcade board.  Namco followed suit with every game in the series including 6, which is being developed on PS3 arcade hardware.  Another series that was Playstation only was the Ace Combat series.  Ace Combat 6 is now a 360 exclusive.  Does Namco have reason to bring Tekken 6 to the 360?  Read on for the facts.

We’ve already seen proof that it’s easy to port any game over to the 360.  AM2 did just that with Virtua Fighter 5 which is graphically identical to it’s PS3 cousin.  So porting Tekken 6 over wouldn’t be a difficult task.  It’s all a matter of whether or not putting Tekken 6 on the 360 makes sense financially. 

Halo 3 sales opened the eyes of a lot of game publishers.  You can’t deny that they want a piece of the Halo pie.  The 360 attach rate is higher in Japan than it is for the PS3.  It’s 3.6 games per system on the 360 versus 1.7 games per system on the PS3.  With an attach rate so high it’s almost a no brainer to greenlight games on the 360.  It’s why Ridge Racer, Beautiful Katamari and Ace Combat 6 are already on the 360. 

The next thing it comes down to is whether or not 3D fighting games are still good sellers.  Well we know they sell in the US, but in Japan it’s quite different.  To everyone’s surprise, Virtua Fighter 5 moved only 82,000 copies total in Japan.  That’s pretty sad considering Virtua Fighter 2 broke 1 million+  and the acclaimed worst game in the series, Virtua Fighter 3TB moved 365,000 copies.  Attach rate is a big deciding factor.  It’s probably what made Sega put Virtua Fighter 5 on the 360 in the first place. 

Japanese publishers are highly interested in the western market these days.  In order to sell their IP’s to a worldwide market, they must be more open to system diversity.  You cannot ignore a combined 360/PS3 userbase of 18 million.  The possibility of Tekken 6 coming out on the 360 is very high given the current state of gaming.  We won’t know for sure until next year so for now, enjoy Katamari and AC6.

Shame on you to post this crappy article.

I'm ok with the PS3 losing exclusivity.
It is sad, but I cannot change it.

BUT

PLZ

GIVE ME SOME REAL EVIDENCE !!!!!

TIHS ARTICLE IS A PIECE OF SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is just claiming without any evidence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"""The possibility of Tekken 6 coming out on the 360 is very high given the current state of gaming."""

OMG !

the current state of gaming !

If only they have some evidence, even rumored ..

yea it does make a lot of sense to put this game on 360, but I don't see any actual evidence here.

Can you chill out. Its only a article to discuss whether it is probable to come to the 360.

It seems to me your worried.

You see thats all I wanted to here is that it does make alot of sense to put this on the 360. Maybe I should of posted "Should Tekken 6 be on the 360?" Its just a discussion, thats all.

LOL,
you put the article and you dont even say what you think about and after you want to discuss LOL

it is the problem :
we cannot discuss of this article because the article is build around NOTHING, not even a rumor.

And sincerely, I would prefer Tekken to stay on the PS3 but Tekken is a fan game now and people will prefer to buy the PS3 than the Xbox360 to play this game because they now very well the paddle.

Fan of Tekken6/PES/DMC4/MGS4 which console will you buy if you have the choice ?
==> PS3

Also what would makes sense would be a port of MGS4

Uh....DMC on 360, Ace Combat on 360....well I'm starting to see a tread of Namco games coming to the 360....lol....if the article is nothing then leave, why be in the article if its nothing. Thats immaturity right there. Just leave if it doesn't apply to you. Thats all it takes.

Yeah that would make alot of more since if that happens. But Namco has been supporting the hell out of the 360 lately and seeing that this is just common sense to port this over to the 360. Sega did it with Virtua Fighter and now Namco should do it with 360. It would really generate sales and get more fans into the mix.
