handhelds >>>>>>>>>>>>> HD console, not even in the same league in Japan. Yakuza 3 and SO4 come from very big franchises, they will compete with each other. Yakuza 3 will also rip SO4 a new asshole in Japan in terms of sales, they will compete with each other.
One week between Yakuza 3 and SO4, advertising has begun for Yakuza 3 on the HD console of choice in Japan. It will be interesting to see how SO4 sells compared to Yakuza 3, half the sales sounds about right. BTW DQIX will sell 3 million first week and sell huge sums of DS, nothing new here.
