Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was already a major success, but one analyst has now revealed that it's the best-selling game in the series and one of the best-selling games in publisher Bandai Namco's history.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Circana's executive director and games analyst Mat Piscatella said that he was "as surprised as anybody, not only for it to be the best-selling Dragon Ball game, but to be among the best-selling Bandai Namco games all time." Bandai Namco have, of course, "had some really big hits over the years," from multiple anime spin-offs to Elden Ring's juggernaut success, so Sparking Zero was just another jewel in its crown.
"I wasn't expecting this," Piscatella said. "It sure didn't hurt that it had that huge cast of characters and beloved IP allowing people to kind of dig into the history of that thing. Even though I've never personally watched it, I know people are very passionate about Dragon Ball... I'd agree with you that this thing has been one heck of a nice surprise in a year that's been kind of rough overall."
