Surprising almost no one, Tekken 6 has been officially announced for a fall 2009 release on the PS3/Xbox 360. The new English language trailer takes us to the magical world of Tekken, where kangaroos and pandas can hold grudge matches against fat people. Who says games aren't art?

Tekken 6 is going to sell much better on PS3 than 360 anyway.
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 9th 2008 8:46AM
Maybe, but we'll see. It looks like the 360 is becoming the hotspot for fighting games (except with SCIV)

The xbox 360 controller sucks for fighting games.
ryan @ Oct 9th 2008 10:54AM
actually SC4 sold better on the 360. it's probly due to the headstart and everyone already owning a 360 already...maybe due to it being the cheaper way to get your SC4 on.
oh, and arcade sticks are always the way to go for fighting games. :P

The current sales of SC4 are:
360: 860,000
PS3: 760,000
It is entirely possible that the PS3 version will sell more than the 360 over time. As you can see, 360 has a much bigger install base than PS3, but the PS3 can keep up. Virtua Fighter 5 sold better on PS3 even though the 360 has online. So I'm still going to say Tekken 6 will sell better on PS3 because at the time it comes out, PS3 should be almost caught up with 360 in worldwide sales.

We all kinda guessed this would happen after soul calibur.. Especially since they are basically the same game but tekken doesn't have weapons.
ryan @ Oct 9th 2008 10:55AM
should've seen it coming when DMC4, VF5, Ace Combat 6, FF13, and Star Ocean 4 (all prior PS2 starlet franchises) were announced for 360.
Wat up Homie!! @ Oct 9th 2008 8:39AM
this is pissing me off
Eggy @ Oct 9th 2008 8:58AM
Grow up!
monkeywizz @ Oct 9th 2008 9:18AM
Never really got these sort of games. I just end up randomly pressing all the buttons on the keypad and hoping for the best!
Has the game play on these sort of games improved with the newer consoles?
Toni @ Oct 9th 2008 9:18AM
WTF another long time exclusive gone, I mean I've got an Xbox so I don't hate the thing but come on another 10 year exclusive jumpin on board 360 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omega15 @ Oct 9th 2008 9:32AM
sucks!!! Why waste time and money on the Xbox version if maybe will not sell half the copies than on PS3. If you have a Xbox for sure don't play/like Tekken, maybe just like DOA. My 2 cents....
RC @ Oct 9th 2008 9:37AM
Folks the days of 3rd party exclusives is almost done. Just be glad Sony puts so much money into 1st pary and 2nd party development, while Microsoft closes all their internal studios and moneyhats for DLC.
Daalyman @ Oct 9th 2008 9:55AM
I'm not so much upset it's going to the 360, it's the
fact that it looks so bad in terms of the graphics.
It's not what was promised it was going to look with
that so long ago teaser trailer.
Very disappointing indeed, it seems Tekken is dead for
me.
Devin @ Oct 9th 2008 10:16AM
I thought they developed it for PS3 first and then were porting it to 360. Is this not the case?
David @ Oct 9th 2008 10:33AM
wow fall 2009!! This game has been in development for ages! Never thought tekken 6 would take so much time to reach home consoles. Is it because they still haven't started work on the 360 version?
kbomb1upc @ Oct 9th 2008 10:36AM
Tekken - Begging of a franchise
Tekken 2 - Minimal gameplay and graphic changes, Devil and Angel, I love Jun
Tekken 3 - Much better graphic, Eddy button mashers, No Jun but I like Jin
Tekken Tag - Hello Playstation 2, By far the funniest Tekken, Jun and Jin on the same team priceless,
Tekken 4 - Old Paul, young Law, Worst Tekken ever, Why did you change Jin!!!!
Tekken 5 - Back to form, still hate the new Jin but at least I have Devil Jin
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection - Love Hate relationship, 1080P and you would have thought this was a PS3 game, man people online are good, hate getting beat by a 12 year old, Lili juggles sucks
Tekken 6 - Best Tekken???
iamkid @ Oct 9th 2008 11:13AM
ive been waiting for this game, i love the tekken series. really i could care less if it goes to 360, someone online once stated that if its multi plat, more people get to enjoy it. words to live by :P
ryan @ Oct 9th 2008 11:45AM
exactly.
RavageHeitaro @ Oct 9th 2008 2:51PM
well, that's one game of my 'confirmed' list.
At least now i can choose my fighting game without being biased due to Tekken's 'supposed' exclusivity.
JeiShi @ Oct 9th 2008 12:15PM
wat the hell, come one sony!!!!!! why......................well there was a hunch that this was comin. Lets see how the 360 controller utilize the gameplay...................
deaftly @ Oct 9th 2008 12:44PM
oh yea how the times have changed :)
Ether02 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:54PM
360 sucks rip 3rd party exclusives
Whoppy @ Oct 9th 2008 1:44PM
Iron Fist. Always makes me laugh, even though I'm in my dotage now :(
Xavier @ Oct 9th 2008 1:50PM
Hopefully Little Big Planet and FFXIII in Japan will boost PS3 numbers so more exclusives can be secured.
Pat @ Oct 20th 2008 8:11PM
Does anyone else have issues watching videos from Joystick? Videos just not playing after you hit play?
Haohmaru @ Oct 9th 2008 3:08PM
It looks good. The only reason Tekken isn't my favorite fighting franchise is the game's reliance on silly-looking "juggle" combos. Instead of getting too excited about this one, I'll keep playing SCIV while waiting for Street Fighter.
skin.bintin @ Oct 9th 2008 5:34PM
I guess this just shows how expensive it has become to develop a current gen game. It's great for those that only own an X360 as now they can experience one of the fighting game worlds greats!
As for me, I'm not so happy. A game that is part of why I purchased a PS3 going multiplatform leaves me having to choose which console to get it on. Yeah, it's always been a PS title, but I prefer X360 online, and more of my friends play it. Hmmm.... this will be tough :(
Deadpool @ Oct 9th 2008 8:05PM
As long as it isn't exclusive for Xbox 360 like Ace Combat 6 was [little upset about that one namco/bandai] but I'm cool with it. The fact that there was a merger between namco and bandai was a indication of development cost going up. So all gamers can enjoy Tekken 6. I'm sticking with the ps3 controller though. The D-Pad is awesome.
