In a new press release, NetherRealm has confirmed the Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million units total.
In a new comparison image posted by TweakTown, we can see that this also makes Mortal Kombat the best-selling fighting game franchise of all-time, overreaching Super Smash Bros. franchise sales of 72.39 million, and that of Street Fighter and Tekken, which sit at 49 and 54 million respectively.
This is an impressive feat for Mortal Kombat, showing that gamers across the world have a soft spot for over the top glorified violence. With Mortal Kombat 1 releasing in September, it's likely that we'll see this franchise sales figure shoot up again fairly soon.
