Namco Bandai today announced that Soul Calibur 4 has sold a total of 2.2 million copies since its July 2008 release. The game was reported to have shipped over 2 million copies one week after its July 31 launch on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The fighting sequel has also helped Namco report a profit of $99.7 million profit for its third quarter ending December 31. It was largely aided by this game and Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit which sold 730,000 units.

Soul Calibur 4 is the latest in the longstanding series. It features Star Wars characters Darth Vader and Yoda as playable characters, as well as Vader’s secret apprentice from Star Wars Force Unleashed, which has also sold quite a few million units.
