According to Bandai Namco's latest financial presentation, Dragon Ball FighterZ has done rather well for itself since it launched back in January of this year. The superb brawler has shifted 2.5 million copies in under four months, making it one of the fastest selling fighting games of this generation.
The publisher also notes that Tekken 7 -- which released in June 2017 -- has reached 2.8 million copies. It'll be interesting to see whether future support can push it above 3 million.
Bandai Namco says that both games have exceeded expectations, which is obviously good for the company. And, as is the case with just about every major publisher, Bandai Namco points out that digital sales are becoming increasingly significant, especially here in the West.

I was expecting more, actually.
@Nickolaidas Some estimates had FighterZ pegged at a lot more, but clearly that's not the case. I'd even seen some calculations that it was closer to 4 million. Guess they were way off.
to be honest if this had more features i think it would have sold a lot more but while the fighting system is excellent the game was a bit bare bones and next to past games like XenoVerse 2 some might have felt it wasn't worth the purchase
Well it's a better game than T7 so makes sense.
@VotesForCows I believe SFV is close to 2.5 million. It's 2.4 or something like that.
So Mortal Kombat is officially the most popular fighting game right now?
This is good news! Hopefully this will encourage them to make a Naruto game in the same format. The gameplay of the Storm series wasn't as fun.
@VatoLoco47 i actually hope they DON'T do that, i would rather they stay different than just pump out the same game with a different animes skin on it, the games would get real boring real fast if every anime game they did was just a reskined FighterZ
I'm not surprised, from what little I've played on my work's PS4 I imagine this could hit 3 million sales in a year or so.
