Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Goes Nuclear, Sells Over 3 Million Copies in First 24 Hours | Push Square
It's official: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a massive hit. Publisher Bandai Namco has announced an early sales figure for the anime brawler, and to say it's off to a good start would be a gross understatement.
In its first 24 hours on the market, the game surpassed a staggering 3 million copies sold.
To put that number into some sort of perspective, the remake of Resident Evil 4 took two days to reach the same milestone. To compare to other fighting games, it took Street Fighter 6 just over half a year to reach 3 million sales. Bandai Namco's own Tekken 8, meanwhile, managed 2 million sales in just under three weeks.
The game's huge success shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Not only is Dragon Ball an enormously popular manga and anime series, we started to see early signs of Sparking! Zero's potential when it started dominating pre-order charts before launch.
It helps that it's a great game, too; we loved it in our review, calling it an «absolute blast» and an «impressively robust celebration of all things Dragon Ball».
