“Point victory for Tekken 8” is the headline given by GfK Entertainment when communicating the current leaders in the German retail sales charts. It runs for Tekken 8not just in this country.
“Tekken 8 is #1 in the UK charts,” said Katsuhiro Harada recently Twitter. The second time in a row, adds Harada. This was already the case with Tekken 7. He shares an article from SamaGame with the headline: “Tekken 8 ‘doubles’ Street Fighter 6’s physical progressions.” That’s certainly something you like to hear at Bandai Namco.
We don’t know how well Tekken 8 does in this country in a direct comparison with Street Fighter 6. But we do know that Tekken 8 fought its way into German retail sales in launch week to number 1 in the PS5 charts and Xbox Series rankings.
In the PS5 charts, Tekken 8 ends up ahead of The Last of Us II Remastered and in the Xbox Series charts it beats newcomer Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which takes bronze on PS5.
The most popular Switch title remains Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which keeps Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a reasonable distance. GTA V continues to top the PS4 and Xbox One charts.
