According to GI.biz’s Christopher Dring, the title enjoyed a significant launch weekend within its genre, more than doubling the initial physical sales of last year’s Street Fighter 6.
“Last year, I was surprised at how low Street Fighter 6’s UK sales were at physical retail (it did fine digitally),” he wrote. “I wondered if it was a genre trend, but Tekken 8’s UK physical sales are good, and more than double the launch of SF6. So… who knows? Maybe it was the competition”.
Loving the look of Tekken 8 but have been unable to pick it up yet. Hoping to be able to at some point as I have always been a fan of the Tekken games and this one looks awesome!
