As one of the biggest manga and anime franchises of all time, it's not particularly surprising when a new Dragon Ball game sells well. Previous releases like Xenoverse, FighterZ, and Kakarot have all seen great sales success, so it seemed very likely that the same was going to be true of Sparking Zero, which launches next week on October 11.
That being said, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero isn't quite like the games I listed above. While most of them are completely new games, Sparking Zero is the long-awaited fourth entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, which last had a mainline release all the way back in 2007. With that legacy in mind, it's no wonder that it's already ploughing through the sales charts.
Sparking! ZERO is getting sold out everywhere and ranking #1 on all platforms, even before its official release. It's the only anime game to ever do this! More records will be broken after its release! pic.twitter.com/uwbeqei6Ub

Over the past few days, Dragon Ball fans have been watching with glee as Sparking Zero raced up Steam's top-selling charts, which saw it lagging behind Throne and Liberty and Black Ops 6. That fierce competition has been taken down for now, though, as Twitter user NeoTaku5 pointed out that it's now the top-selling game on the platform in the US and several other regions.
It's not just Steam where Sparking Zero is topping the charts, though. As pointed out by Twitter user DbsHype, the fourth Budokai Tenkaichi game is also top of the pre-order charts on the PlayStation Store, which is quite a surprise considering Black Ops 6, the latest entry in the biggest game series in the world, is right around the corner.
If that wasn't enough proof for you then it's also worth noting that Amazon US has sold out of the standard edition of Sparking Zero and now only has the Ultimate Edition in stock. It's still up for grabs on Amazon UK, but it does indicate how excited people are for the series' long-awaited return.
