Tekken 6 On Xbox 360 Is Highly Probable


Tekken 6 will be hitting the Playstation 3 in 2008. Tekken has always been a Playstation only series since day one. Even the first Tekken was developed on the PS1 arcade board. Namco followed suit with every game in the series including 6, which is being developed on PS3 arcade hardware. Another series that was Playstation only was the Ace Combat series. Ace Combat 6 is now a 360 exclusive. Does Namco have reason to bring Tekken 6 to the 360? Read on for the facts.

We've already seen proof that it's easy to port any game over to the 360. AM2 did just that with Virtua Fighter 5 which is graphically identical to it's PS3 cousin. So porting Tekken 6 over wouldn't be a difficult task. It's all a matter of whether or not putting Tekken 6 on the 360 makes sense financially.

Halo 3 sales opened the eyes of a lot of game publishers. You can't deny that they want a piece of the Halo pie. The 360 attach rate is higher in Japan than it is for the PS3. It's 3.6 games per system on the 360 versus 1.7 games per system on the PS3. With an attach rate so high it's almost a no brainer to greenlight games on the 360. It's why Ridge Racer, Beautiful Katamari and Ace Combat 6 are already on the 360.

The next thing it comes down to is whether or not 3D fighting games are still good sellers. Well we know they sell in the US, but in Japan it's quite different. To everyone's surprise, Virtua Fighter 5 moved only 82,000 copies total in Japan. That's pretty sad considering Virtua Fighter 2 broke 1 million+ and the acclaimed worst game in the series, Virtua Fighter 3TB moved 365,000 copies. Attach rate is a big deciding factor. It's probably what made Sega put Virtua Fighter 5 on the 360 in the first place.

Japanese publishers are highly interested in the western market these days. In order to sell their IP's to a worldwide market, they must be more open to system diversity. You cannot ignore a combined 360/PS3 userbase of 18 million. The possibility of Tekken 6 coming out on the 360 is very high given the current state of gaming. We won't know for sure until next year so for now, enjoy Katamari and AC6.

Where's the Sauce?

This kinda reminds of the very early days of Saturn and PlayStation. Both platforms were privy to quite a few dual platform games. Some games were equally terrific (Street Fighter Zero 1&2) while others had extra features on one system (Battle Arena Toshinden Remix). I haven't seen this kind of multi platform release for a long, long time. Though it's still mind boggling. Tekken on a non-PlayStation console? Oh please. Next you're going to be telling me of a Virtua Fighter game on a non SEGA console? When pigs fly... Wait, what are those flying things!?

i tot virtua fighter is released on both ps3 and x360 quite a long time ago already.

Hence tripleB saying its pigs flying. And Noticing it.

Hmm. Tembak itu flying pigs! Still, Tekken is a good addition to the 360 lineup. Bagus MS!

Tekken is easily the king of 3D fighting game .

w0000t!!!~

Habis lah all the DOA fanbois are now furiously typing...

And then 1 more will come in.

Street Fighter 4. Now who's the King again?

Since when SF4 a 3D fighting game ?

Ah, i like to see SF4 as a 3d fighter, though the limitations is there. I'm old fashioned. I think 2D is still in colored sprites.

but nonetheless, this is great news indeed. wud definitely be a marvel playing live with this.

quite a good move by M$. Another good reason to get an xbox360.
