More than 440,000 copies have been sold for Yakuza 3. That alone makes this a success in Japan. Now bring this to the States 'cause I loved the demo.

@ 1.3

I agree on the Nomura comment.

I really hope they bring this game here.

I saw an imported version recently and wanted to get it but didn't think the $90 price tag was worth it when I can't read JP :(

Good news for sega...they certainly deserve this one. They could easily see another 500,000 if released in the for the rest of the world

shouldn't there be a petition to bring this to the rest of the world, if Sega see's how many are signing up they might release it..

Yeah, I really want them to bring this out w/ English subs, too. English voices are unnecessary, in fact, I wouldn't even use them if the option was there between dub and subtitles. I'm waiting, because I feel like this game has a good chance of getting an English release. I imported Yakuza Kenzan! though because something tells me that'll never get an English release...

Microsoft already paid for Star OCean to be on x360 and the sales beat WKC in Japan.

I am playing Star Ocean now on my x360.

So when is WKC or Yakuza coming out in NA/Europe again?

Isn't the ability to play games on time better than shouting Japanese sales figure that I can care less about because I can't play it.

@XDF
It's funny how you said playing games is better than shouting Japanese sale figures.. yet in the first line you compared SO4 sales to WKC.

In fact in Japan WKC has sold more than 300,000 and SO4 is barely making 200,000. As for Valkyria Chronicles it has sold 150,000, which is no small feat by a new IP. A new anime is coming out for it, which shows how popular it is in Japan, and it doesn't hurt that it's critically acclaimed even in the West.

Finally, Japanese sales figure actually do matter as it affects how Japanese developers choose their platforms and regions to release their games.

Actually even the guy who is directing ff13 is pisst at wada. He is the only one who has insulted wada publicly, so yeah he is the most pisst off one( mainly of what happen to ff13) in the entire company right now, so don't assume it is just nomura.

Did Sega made a mistake of bring out Valkyria Chronicles to the PS3 because that game sold like 1/10 of what Star Ocean on x360 made.

Just WOW ***shaking head**

lol, new franchise that was thrown in the middle of r2, lbp, msp, wkc naruto game, and poorly marketed, but I do think it outsold SO4 in japan plus it got higher ratings, lol.

XDF you must be the clown in the classroom at school. Valkyria sold 120k (vs 200k for SO4), but WKC sold 300k so the best thing for you would be to read a little bit more before making such ridiculous claims.

Too much time on your hands and no games ? I feel your pain.

Am I the one that bring in Square Enix into this conversation and hacking away at their decision to bring out Star Ocean on x360? I thought this post was about the great sales of Yakuza 3 in Japan.

It is th same with Halo Wars and other xbox Pro articles, KZ2 must entered into the Thread somehow.

For your information I own PS3, PS2 and a PS1 any love Sega games like Yakuza 1 and 2 on PS2.

Please, look yourself into the mirror and see which side you are on PS9....
