Tekken 4 sold less than that. Yet Namco immediately started treating the Soulcalibur series as second fiddle and released the absolutely horrid Soulcalibur 3 which completely killed interest in the series. Both Tekken 5 and Soulcalibur 3 sold less than a million. Meanwhile Soulcalibur 4 has sold about 2.5 million.<br><br>Yes, you can say Tekken is far more popular in arcade... but thats a given, seeing as how there hasn't been a proper arcade release of Soulcalibur since 2002.

I think they learned a small bit from their SCIV lag hatred, so they're "fixing" this problem early for Tekken 6. By "fixing" I mean they are putting up a front, because I can't see NamcoBandai getting it right. Their netcode has been terrible time and time again. Maybe it's because it's hardwired to work well in Japan? I can't explain it. I've played Japanese NamcoBandai games flawlessly online with the Japanese, but then when I get the US counterpart and try it locally, it's TERRIBLE. Any word on how T6 or SCIV plays in Japan online? Always been curious... It's funny you mention that, Jaxel. I think they learned a small bit from their SCIV lag hatred, so they're “fixing” this problem early for Tekken 6.

Soulcalibur has had lag for years. Namco doesn't address it at all; they treat Soulcalibur like the red headed stepchild. Tekken is out for a WEEK, and they are already coming in to save the day. Maybe Namco should try BALANCING their games first?<br><br>Yes, I know balance doesn't sell fighting games. If it did, everyone would be playing Virtua Fighter. They could however at least TRY.

Yes, I know balance doesn't sell fighting games. If it did, everyone would be playing Virtua Fighter. They could however at least TRY.

First they need to make it so you can see what connections the opponents have, like in BB. Mmph, looking at videogame history, I DOUBT (and that's euphemism) that they can even improve the lag.
