The title of the best-selling Tekken game has moved from Tekken 3, which has held this title since 1997, to Tekken 7. Tekken 3, which held this title for more than 25 years, sold 8.5 million copies. Katsuhiro Harada, who has been working on Tekken games for 27 years, said in a post on Twitter that Tekken 7 has become the best-selling game in the history of the series with 9 million sales.

Before Tekken 7, which was released in 2015, reached 9 million sales, this was Tekken 5 in 2004, which came closest to Tekken 3’s sales number. Tekken 5 sold a total of 8.2 million copies. According to the statistic shared by Katsuhiro Harada, the entire Tekken series has now sold more than 53 million copies worldwide.
Tekken 7 has become one of the longest-running games in the series, with the console version of the game turning 5 on June 2. Street Fighter 6 was announced this February. Tekken 8 was also on the “Nvidia Geforce Game Leak” list, which hit the agenda last September.
