Forums - Sony Discussion - Japan up! media-create sales

PlayStation 3 is the best-selling console in Japan for the week ending 21st March, thanks in large part to the launch of chart-topping Yakuza 4.

The latest instalment in Toshihiro Nagoshi's epic crime series managed a whopping 384,000 sales during its first few days on release, no doubt encouraging the Japanese games-buying public to buy more PS3s than usual - 50,000 this week compared to just over 26,000 in the previous seven days.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Seems Eurogamer doesn't realise Torne was released as well.
