Tecmo Koei
In May, Tecmo Koei announced that it aims to sell one million copies of the game. First week sales in Japan were strong where the game sold more than 80,000 copies, mostly for the PS3. On October 29, 2012, it was reported that the game sold 580,000 units worldwide during the first month after its release. According to Tecmo Koei, downloadable content sales and retail pre-orders have also been favorable. Joystiq commented that the figure "compares reasonably to the 700,000 copies "Dead or Alive 4" shipped worldwide in its first two months." Its main rival game, "Tekken Tag Tournament 2", also released in September, has sold 840,000 units by November 2, 2012. By June 2015, all versions of the game sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide, along with 3.5 million downloads of the free-to-play versions of "Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate" and "Dead or Alive 5 Last Round".
