(Insert “it’s over 9,000!” reference here)
Dragon Ball FighterZ went full Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan at launch, shipping and selling a combined two million copies across all platforms. According to Gematsu, it’s the fastest selling game in the Dragon Ball series. By comparison, that puts it close to two-plus years of Street Fighter V sales, and not that far behind Tekken 7. I can’t find concrete numbers regarding Injustice 2, but it’s roughly in this same lofty ballpark as well.
This is a well-deserved win for Bandai Namco and Arc System Works. Their previous Dragon Ball fighting games have sold really well in the past and they didn’t have to change direction. Instead, they pulled in a top-tier fighting game developer and made a spectacular product that appeals to an even broader audience.
I have my gripes with its online lobby system, but otherwise, I’m loving it. This game has the potential to shake up the entire FGC, and I’m excited to see where things go from here.
