Namco Hometek proudly announced today that the launch of Soul Calibur II has unbelievably blown past all expectations by shipping over 1.6 million units on its first day, the largest day one release in the history of Namco's U.S. division.



"The release of Soul Calibur II marks a monumental moment in Namco's already rich video game history," said Namco's Chief Financial Officer, Robert Ennis. "Never before has a Namco title sold as well in its U.S. debut and we hope that this is just a glimpse at what is to come for the 'Soul' franchise."



"Soul Calibur II is one of Namco's most valuable video game franchises," said Garry Cole, Senior Vice President of Sales, Namco Hometek Inc. "I think that the value of the property is exemplified in that we were able to sell through nearly 10 percent of our initial launch quantity on day-one alone."
