MKX is pretty much the best MK has ever been. Still play the hell out of it. With these numbers, I guess it means it sold more than any Street Fighter or Tekken game. Nice! Without Japan, too, where they don't care much for this franchise.

Yet another great example of how badly Capcom dropped the ball with SFV. The thing is brawlers are doing great, if they are done right. This, Tekken 5 (or most mid-range fighters from NB) and of course the behemoth that is Smash clearly prove that if you make a good game people will buy it.
Deep Voice IMPRESSIVE!!
That’s pretty damn good
Got to say, Playstation All Stars is a different genre. As someone who owns PS all stars, and Smash Brothers Ultimate, I don't like either of those games. Tekken 7 is great. Mortal Kombat 11 feels great during the beta. Soul Calibur 6 is good, and Street Fighter 5 is.... Well, it exists.
Comparing Mortal Kombat, or any traditional head to head fighter, be it 2D or 3D to smash is like comparing Overwatch to Fortnite because they both have shooting.
But.. I wouldn't dream of waiting for MK11, because that would give everyone else a significant head start on learning the game, which would mean I'm not going to be able to catch up to everyone else. Even games I did wait on, where this has happened.. Just ended up quitting them soon after.
