Harada on The Current Status of Crossplay for Tekken 7

"Don't ask me. ASK 1st party." Says Harada. He continued on in a string of tweets today addressing the main issue that is getting in the way of enabling console crossplay for Tekken 7 which are the 1st party policies in place that the developers have to adhere to when they develop games for their systems. Enabling crossplay between certain systems like PC <-> PS4 or PC <-> XB1 was also shot down because that would be splitting the player base on the PC which they can't do. He didn't say it but hypothetically speaking, the thought of PC players only being able to play with either PS4 or XB1 players does sort of bring the console that is not crossplay enabled down. So for now, people that are waiting on the status of crossplay for Tekken 7 to make their purchase, check out the related tweets on Harada's Twitter account and make your mind from there.

Tekken 3 Sold 8.3 Million Worldwide

Just a random, little bit of sales info on Tekken 3 that the series director: Katsuhiro Harada dropped on Twitter that I thought that some might be interested in. In the tweet, Harada mentions that the home ports (PS1 versions) of Tekken 3 sold 8,360,000 worldwide and that 1,400,000 of which is from Japan alone. I think this puts Tekken 3 as the second most best selling fighting game title of all time which is just underneath Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (iirc SSBB > Tekken 3 > SSBM > SF2:WW > Tekken 2)
