There is no official public announcement yet but it should arrive shortly: during Bandai Namco's recent financial conference the first sales milestone For Tekken 8which has already surpassed the 2 million copies sold since launch.
Considering that the release date of Tekken 8 was January 26th, this is a truly remarkable result, achieved in just over two weeks and for a title belonging to a genre now considered niche or almost niche, even if the data released by Bandai Namco may not be updated in the last few days.
According to what was reported by Bernstein in the report on Bandai Namco's financial meeting, therefore, Tekken 8 has reached 2 million copies sold, which represents a “better than we would have hoped for at this point” result, according to what was reported during the conference.
Generally disappointing results for Bandai Namco
However, Bandai Namco's overall finances don't look as positive: as Bloomberg's Takashi Mochizuki reported, “results are generally disappointinglargely due to the 21 billion yen recorded as losses and attributed to games that did not reach expectations.”
Among these, Blue Protocol is indicated in particular as a title that was highly disappointing on the market: evidently, the free-to-play online action RPG did not achieve the results hoped for by Bandai Namco, despite the fact that it has not yet been officially distributed in West, so the data could change soon.
