Namco Bandai's fighter sequel Soul Calibur 4 has sold a total of 2.2 million copies since its July 2008 release, according to the publisher.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title was reported to have shipped over 2 million copies one week after its July 31 launch. Namco also reported a profit of $99.7 million for its third quarter ending December 31. The company's 2008 sales were largely supported by Soul Calibur IV, with help from Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit's 730,000 sales.

  I know it spoils your half-assed attempt at sarcasm, but aside from meaning that we will probably get a SCV, those of us that still play SCIV online on occasion can rest assured the community is strong.

  Some people actually enjoy following the industry and measuring the different factors contributing to a game's success.

  This site covers industry news as well. So sales figures are important. Other than that, GFY.
