Some say interest in the fighting-game genre is on the decline, but the Tekken franchise's latest numbers suggest otherwise: according to director Katsuhiro Harada, the seventh entry has managed to sell over 3 million copies, and total franchise sales are at 47 million. It will be interesting to see how the numbers for the recently launched Soul Calibur VI compare, as the counterpart was rumored to be on "shaky ground" with Bandai Namco. This impressive number brings franchise sales (since the 1995 home release of the original Tekken) to some 47 million copies worldwide, roughly the same amount of costumes Yoshimitsu has stacked in his wardrobe. To celebrate the milestone, Harada released a piece of "celebration artwork" featuring members of the Tekken 7 roster living it up at a swish shindig. Even Kazumi's tiger got an invite.
