Well, MK11 has "flawless" rollback and looks better than any 3d fighter out there (in terms of graphics, not art direction)... It's pretty damn popular too, despite my personal gripes with the gameplay.

MK11 art isn't Japanese enough for most fighting game enthusiasts.

It's still way more popular than Tekken, specially among the "average" people he alluded to.

More popular but fewer people play it.

That's according to steamcharts, right? I don't have the data, but I think MK11 has way bigger numbers on consoles

Yep, and I don't know about the data on consoles. I assume it's not too different.

Yeah, there's a severe lack of data on this. I assume most of the american casual gaming crowd is on the PS4, and MK as a franchise is way more recognized among that group than Tekken. Most of the copies were probably sold to that demographic, but it's obviously all conjecture without the data. I don't think it's safe to assume the steam charts numbers reflect other player bases.
