Isn't that how many Halo 3: ODST sold? If so, then that's pretty damn confident of them.

I've bought all the ps2 releases for tekken but I just don't see myself buying this one new. It's just been in arcades so long it feels like old news before it even comes out.

Maybe I'll import it cause I certainly aint paying aussie prices for it that's for sure.

Doesn't seem to be very original, different or groundbreaking in any way at all. Even the visuals look above average at best. I don't see this selling too well.

Good to see you've played it and judged it properly.

Look dude i would agree with you but its a statement on the internet, it pretty much has to be true.

It is true that it's quite old now. I played it like, more than a year ago in the arcades. I wonder what took them so long to release it. Street Fighter IV came out in the arcades a month later.

So arcade operators can make money. It's not old for those people whom have not played it before

Arcades still exist?? I thought they left us at the end of the 20th century.

VGChartz are stating it's sold 660,000 copies, x360 and ps3 combined in it's first fortnight, Ps3 sales of Tekken 6, more than double X360 sales.

Having not owned tekken since tekken 3 i can say that this has to be the most polished version so far.

Well maybe it's just me but king has had a major kick up the ass in the speed dept, which I love.
