I think you guys are thinking too far, it's not about that at all, i think Namco are totally aware that there are some SC fans that will never be interested on Tekken, just like some Tekken fans that will never be on SC. (I love and play both, so idc about that.)

& BTW, Tekken is still the most selling fighting franchise, so probably more popular than SC worldwide.

It's just a business law and that's all, Capcom announced Marvel VS Capcom Infinite after SFV release, just like NRS announced I2 after MKX. Do you think it was possible for those companies to announce one game before one of those would be release? no of course not, there are business planning and such. There maybe probably as well other good reason they won't announced both of those games. Same can be said for other genres, Rockstar will never as well announce a new GTA game before the next RDR release, and vice versa.



That the thing you don't get acutally, sure from you perspective, from mine as well, it won't damage anything, i will buy both new SC and T7 day one, no matter when they'll announce SC6, now, or after T7 console release. But for the big audience perspective, those who buy new Fifa and COD game each year, or kind of, it can definitely damage Tekken 7 Marketing and sales (at least i think so,and that's how i see things, it just make too much sens for me).

I'm pretty sure SC6 is happening right now, probably being discussed right now behind the scenes, if not already on its early development, and i bet they'll use UE4 and Tekken Team will probably join PS to accelerate the process, i'm seeing new hint at E3 at earliest, if not maybe TGS, and then a release less a year after.

so then you're suggesting that they have shut down all talks of soul calibur, just to push tekken, but you're also saying that tekken is more popular than soul calibur...

and all of this is so that people who WOULD buy both, are sure to spend their money on the game that's more popular and, according to you, will likely sell more anyway...

i'm sorry, but your theory just makes no sense to me when i try to analyze it.

even if they announced that soul calibur would be releasing on the same day as tekken 7 is on consoles, it still makes no sense. if tekken 7 is more popular, then i doubt that there's that many people that play both games that would chose soul calibur over tekken 7, especialy if tekken is, as you put it: "probably more popular than SC worldwide."

if anything, they're doing it for Soul Calibur's sake. releasing alongside tekken 7 would be a bad move for the series. from a financial standpoint, it makes sense to wait and release a soul calibur game after tekken 7 not because it would benefit tekken 7, but because it would benefit soul calibur.

but then, even if you look at it from THAT perspective... it STILL makes no sense to go silent!

instead, it makes LESS sense!

It's just a hypothetical (obviously i'm not a medium and don't work on Namco Bandai lol), but i think they shut the talk for Soul Calibur because when they realize that they'll announce the game a bit later than what they anticipated, because of as i said the push of Tekken 7 console from early 2017 to June 2nd.

For the rest, no need to overthink it, for me it's simple, you don't announce 2 games on same genre, especially when they're as big as SC and Tekken. 2 of the biggest names in FG genre, and probably the 2 biggest in 3D genre. It almost never happened, or at least it's rare, one of the rare example are Square Enix, and they always got criticized about this, like "You guys still didn't release your already announced games and you already announce others?". Just see it as your own hobbies and doing of everyday, it just make more sens to start doing something, after being done with the thing you were already doing, than doing everything at the same time. Simple as this.
 
If Soul Calibur and Tekken were to compete, I guarantee Soul Calibur will end up performing worse every time.

if it has that much more popularity than soul calibur, then why worry about it? is soul calibur really that much of a threat for tekken on consoles? i knew it was more popular, but that was based on a years old statement. with the release of various tekken games on the PS3 and not nearly as many soul calibur games, can it still be said that tekken wouldn't do as well with the possibility of a new soul calibur on the horizon?

indeed, that looks like word vomit... >.>

i'm just going to make this my last post here... shred me to bits, close my account, ban me. do whatever you wish. I don't really give a flying turd.
 
There haven't been any updates on the Soul Calibur Facebook account in almost two months. I wonder if we ought to be worried about that? Then again it could just be that they got sick of listening to people whine about SC6 every time they made a post.

Perhaps they shouldn't of started posting stuff until they had something to show, People have been waiting years for SC6 to actually be a thing teasing on social media without anything to show is going to make people a little angry.
 
they better not count lost swords as official installments, but even then it was 2014.

I don't see what there is to be worried about. It's not like they had anything good to post anyway except for stupid trivias. But hey, look at the bright side. At least if you want to try your luck and rack up some gambling debts you can play the long awaited Soul Calibur Pachislot.

Happy 20th anniversary.

I just hope that if they are working on SC6 they take their time with it and show it some love. Lord knows that series needs a fucking revival.

Namco are arguably smarter than Capcom. Harada cleaned up after the mess that SFxT left behind when he released Tag2 and he is most certainly gonna clean up after the mess that SF5 left behind aswell with T7. Even Pokken Tournament sold better than SF5. Unfortunatley, SC5 kinda got the same treatment like SF5 did (only a little better). We tournament players were mostly happy but the casuals dissapeared quickly. And it didn't help that Namco started to neglect this game quickly too.

Hopefully we'll get a SC game that they actually put as much time into as they like to do with Tekken.
