Dragon Ball Z titles resuscitate Namco Bandai

Posted Nov 18, 2008 at 8:12PM by Glenn M. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Europe, Japan, Namco Bandai

The economy's really been in the toilet for games lately, but fortunately, Namco Bandai saw a glimmer hope in those glimmering orange balls. Goku and the gang came through and racked up most of the publisher's second quarter profits.

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3, Xbox 360) held strong and sold 728,000 units in Japan, Europe, and the US. Budokai Tenkaichi also did well, selling 420,000 units in Europe. Other titles pitched in as well: Taiko Drum Master 2 sold 342,000 units in Japan, while Soul Calibur IV (PS3, Xbox 360) continues to make the charts in Japan with 189,000 units sold.

Bandai has been working with Dragon Ball titles for years, and it seems their old friend just won't die and stop and kicking, just like Goku.
