Physical sales of TEKKEN 8 were twice as high as Street Fighter 6 at launch in the UK.
For an idea of how well fighting games are doing in the UK, look at sales of TEKKEN 8.
The latest installment in Bandai Namco Entertainment’s brawling series has sold twice as well as its Capcom competitor since its launch on January 26th. At least physically.
Christopher Dring from GamesIndustry.biz said on Xthat Street Fighter 6 did not sell well in British retail when it launched in June 2023 and was already based on a trend in the genre. Digital sales were good, he notes.
But TEKKEN 8 taught him otherwise. According to him, physical sales in the region were good and doubled that of Street Fighter 6.
