1.6 million units shipped on the first day alone.
Namco Hometek Inc. announced today that Soul Calibur II, the sequel to the original Dreamcast classic, shipped over 1.6 million units on its first day, the largest day one release in the history of Namco’s U.S. division.
“The release of Soul Calibur II marks a monumental moment in Namco’s already rich video game history,” said Namco’s Chief Financial Officer, Robert Ennis. “Never before has a Namco title sold as well in its U.S. debut and we hope that this is just a glimpse at what is to come for the ‘Soul’ franchise.”
