Glad to see tekken doing better

blackbirdi4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

really low numbers thats' really bad for namco bandai : just look to TTG 2 was only sold 1.6 million on 3 platforms

Baka-akaB4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

Not really .

T6 wasnt really that well received among players and yet had strong sales and long legs with now 3.5 millions

The third platform just got released and barely count yet in the total

Tag 2 was released around quite a few other blockbusters , especially the sports kings .

Tag 2 pretty much sold the same amount than t6 in its release months , if not better and will have strong legs too .

Could do better , and deserved better , but the franchise is fine in a rather pack genre .

TheyDontLoveYou4096d ago

tekken 6 did have long legs. but when you're selling the game at 10 dollars a pop that really doesn't help.
Hopefully this is a wake up call of namco and they reboot tekkens archaic ps1 movement.

Baka-akaB4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

except that's not how it went . T6 sold two million easily around it's release , most of it at retail price most likely .

And Namco probably didnt spit on the extra dough from the remaining sales .

Seems more like you guys expect too much , rather than the franchise being in any trouble .

Tekken 3 breaking 7 millions was a one time thing in a vastly different era , and only matched by Street fighter 2 in yet another era .

DivineAssault 4096d ago

release tales of hearts & innocence on vita in the states.. As well as xillia 2 to boost them numbers up

Baka-akaB4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

Quite good , didnt the first sold 700k ? Direct sequels always perform less for Tales of games , and Xilia 2 boast some of the most impressive sales for such sequels

Minato-Namikaze4096d ago

Thanks i just wanna make sure more JRPG games get localaized

IAMERROR4096d ago

For a tales game? Yes it's pretty good. Hope it gets localized after we get the first one.

Hanso4096d ago

blackblades4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Snookies1237d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H937d ago

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic36d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan37d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204937d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

Hitman raises his head but how good are the Xbox Games With Gold freebies for September 2019?

Carlos writes: "With Gamescom having just gone and Halloween starting to appear on the horizon, it can only mean that ‘the horror-days are coming’. Man of Medan and Blair Witch are now both here to scare the living daylights out of all who dare come near, and so it’s hard to think you should be focusing on anything else. But let’s not get hasty as first of all we still have all those free games to look through courtesy of the Xbox Games With Gold program for September 2019. So let’s dive straight in and see whether or not you should be bothering with the latest batch of Xbox Games With Gold freebies."

To be honest getting Hitman for free is really good. That game has so much replayability.

TheProfessional1697d ago

"Hitman raises his head" What a terrible and poorly written title for an article.

littletad1697d ago

Most of the "staff" of these websites are freelance writers or college kids. None of them are paid to write, only promised exposure or some money revenue if advertisement deals are made. College graduates or those with masters are only paid "well" in major publications like IGN or even Kotaku. Though it's never the main gig. So you'll never see top quality writing in 80 percent of these news submissions. Sorry for the random detail, I just used to be like you lol.

TheProfessional1697d ago (Edited 1697d ago )

Haha appreciate the reply, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's just damn even for a middle school graduate that's poor writing.

gamer78041697d ago

I'm not a big fan of hitman so not a great month for me

FanboySpotter1697d ago

Damn. Blair Witch, hitman(i had on ps4) and then gears 5 in a few days? Gamepass Ultimate is cool af

MazeRunner1700d ago

u cant expect AAA games every month. hitman is pretty decent and i like fighting games so Tekken is a good addition to my collection. if you dont feel like its good to u thats a u problem.

RangerWalk2671700d ago

Sad world we live in when someone can't be happen when someone offers something to you for free. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

King_Noctis1699d ago

Actually, alot of people are happy except for you maybe.

yomfweeee1699d ago

@Ranger, it isn't free.

darthv721699d ago

EDF 2025 is a good one for me. It's the only EDF I dont own so I'll gladly take it digital.

thats your opinion and i dont share it

DarXyde1699d ago

TTT2 is not a bad month.

EDF 2025! Great month!

Edit: There is zero sarcasm. I'm a big fan of the stupid games.

darthv721699d ago

Love EDF games and this is one I have not played so.... yay me!

TGGJustin1700d ago

That is a horrible month. Hitman is the only good thing there and it just left Game Pass. They are giving you a cheap $5 game which I think is a new low for them. Then you have the third EDF game on GWG this year and it isn't even good. Tekken Tag 2 was given to all Xbox players during E3 a couple years ago. Microsoft continues to show that they are just trying to push people to Game Pass and have given up on this service.

yomfweeee1700d ago

Ya putting the same games from Gold and GP is kind of messed up. Especially since they are selling those as a package with Ultimate GP.

monkey6021700d ago

That's a really boring month for me

monkey6021700d ago

Sure do. Currently pre installing Gears 5 and just finished downloading Pandemic from Game Pass

gamer78041700d ago

welp the xbox 360 games are better than the xbox one games this month, was hoping for more.

CuVe1700d ago

It is a really good game, its just that it was free on ps plus long ago... The second Hitman is 20Euro(~22USD) now, so even that is very cheap. This is a very bad month. And if you compare it with PS Plus its even worse...

Blaze9291699d ago

@CuVe - what does any of that have to do with Xbox and it's users?

IamTylerDurden11700d ago (Edited 1700d ago )

Hitman is good, but it was just on Game Pass and PS+ gave it like 7 months ago. It's weak of them to offer gwg titles that are or were just on Game Pass. Also, PS+ giving it away isn't a big deal, but some people do have both PS+ and gwg, plus it just takes a little steam out.

If Hitman wasn't on Game Pass it still wouldn't be a great month, especially considering the competition received Darksiders 3 and Batman.
