Mortal Kombat 1 beat out Tekken 8 AND Street Fighter 6. I thought you bros said it was a failure?

MKchads always win

Failure is relative. An indy game selling 1 million would be a major success but "only" 1 million sales would be a relative failure for all of those fighting games. MK11 sold like 15 million or so while MK1 sold 6 million and is no longer supported.

MK1 has a fun game buried there somewhere but the atrocious launch version that was clearly unfinished really destroyed its perception. The amount of things to do as a single player enjoyer feels less than in 11, the customization options suck, and I don't think many people like the kameo system, the game would probably have done better without it.

Also, I wish the western toxic woke era would end already and they would dare to make the women sexy again, not in the usual Asian gacha overdesigned gooner bait garbage, but at least allow women to have attractive faces and some curves here and there, damn.

I hope there will be an MK13 that's just better in every way possible. I enjoy the franchise.

I think the problem is too is that people solved the game before it came out

I heard that WB wanted to release MK1 too early to recoup lost money and get ahead of Tekken and Street Fighter.

Wasn't this always the case for the last decade?
MK games always sell a hell of a lot more than its competition. It's almost become the CoD of fighting games, where people buy the latest installment out of obligation now.

We don’t get a new MK game every year, so it’s not a fair comparison.

it cost 5x more to produce than Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6, profit margins were not sustainable
