    What Sells More, Dragon Ball Or Soul Calibur?

    'Tis the season for financial results. In keeping with the trend, Bandai Namco released theirs tonight, and amidst all the bean-counting, also revealed some sales figures for their tentpole franchises.

    The company as a whole (remember, Bandai Namco do arcade machines, toys and cartoons) ended the quarter with a net income of ¥9,019,000,000 (USD$100 million), so on the off chance you're a shareholder, your money's still good.

    More interesting to us are some global sales figures found towards the end of the company's earnings release. They show the following games shifted the following number of units:

    Soul Calibur IV - 2.26 million copies
    Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit - 730,000
    WE SKI - 590,000
    Gundam Musou 2 - 590,000
    Active Life Outdoor Challenge - 550,000
    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 - 530,000
    Super Robot Wars Z - 510,000
    Taiko Drum Master for DS 2 - 500,000
    Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam VS. Gundam - 440,000
    Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - 420,000
