According to Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls may have sold around 485,000 copies between PlayStation 5 and PC in a week. PS5 players accounted for 74 percent of these sales, with the remaining 26 percent coming from PC players via Steam. Elliott speculates that performance issues on PC may have hindered the game's word-of-mouth and could have resulted in a sales figure closer to one million copies if not for these problems.
North Americans make up 75 percent of Marvel Tōkon's playerbase, with many sharing an affinity for other fighting games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Street Fighter 5, and Mortal Kombat 1. The Marvel franchise appears to be generating significant early interest, with 60 percent of PS5 players having played Spider-Man: Miles Morales, 57 percent having played Spider-Man 2, and 53 percent having tried Marvel Rivals.
Comparing Marvel Tōkon's initial sales to other successful fighting games, such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, which sold over 10 million copies by 2023, shows promising potential for the new game.
