It seems Play-Asia’s decision to promote the English version of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 has paid off. After Tecmo Koei announced that they would not be bring the game West, a couple retailers like Play-Asia capitalized on it and let everyone know to come to them if they wanted the fighter’s spin off. DualShockers contacted Play-Asia regarding the game’s sales and the response they were given was positive.
“I am able to confirm that we have broken all previous sales records for Play-Asia.com with the release of DOAX3”.
Although no actual sales figure was given, it’s probably safe to say they moved a good number of games if the sales record was broken. Hopefully some publishers see this as a sign that there is interest for these types of games and are more willing to bring them West. If you’d like, you can check out our review of the game.
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. An English version of the game can be purchased at Play-Asia.
