I agree with you Gaara42 this game can sell very well, but only if the PS3 can increase it's install base. I've suggested that this IPO be set lower than the historical averages due to the current weak performance of the PS3.
You only have to look to Virtua Fighter 5 for a good example of another PS3 sequel selling far less than it's predecessor. VF4 shipped 1.7 million copies worldwide according to vgchartz.com, but look what has happened to VF5. That one is struggling to sell just 400,000 units. I believe even 750,000 units for Tekken 6 is not a sure thing. It all depends on the future performance of the PS3.
